Hi guys, been lurking a little while doing some research before i buy.

Looking for a 350gt coupe, preferably manual, preferably pearl white or black and preferrably half leather(not too phased on stereo but would prefer if the HID headlights had been re-connected.)

Heading to Motorman and maybe a few other import yards around Brisbane on saturday, but does anyone have a specific place I should check out? Or know someone selling that fits the bill? I have thought about organising an import for myself but cant really be bothered with the hassle.

Not planning on any engine mods, but will most likely be ripping out the stock stereo system and putting in a double din screen/gps (i love how everyone advertises the fact the car has a 'tv and gps'...but when you ask they dont work :D) and maybe upgrading the entire sound system.

Stepping down from a modded 08 sti, I am hoping they still feel reasonably quick and agile, I guess I will find out on saturday when i test drive a few.

Sounds like you're after mine... *goes make sure it's locked and immobilised* :D

Good luck with hunting one down. I got lucky on mine, sunroof too!

Quick ? I'd say...quickish stock. Nimble ? Not quite...they are over 1500kgs. The front midship layout does feel very agile IF you take into account the 1500kg+ weight and it handles quite well, but it is not an agile feeling, more a stable feeling.

Let us know how you go!

...Or if you want something a bit different, I am selling the Chargespeed demo car from the '07 Tokyo Auto Salon (came runner up in the "sporty car" category. It's blue, but there's a heap of (black) Carbon fibre on it: already has coilovers and 19" Racing Hart wheels... Do a search for "chargespeed" in the for sale section if you're interested...

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
