“Without Prejudice and/or Hypothetically speaking”

gun it down a side street, all of us have had a situation where you just gun it, its not to say its right, infact its bloody stupid, but the temptation is always there, especially when some idiot is trying to crash you. If you learn from it (which you sound you have) then thats all anyone could ask for isn't it? I'm pretty sure you know how much attention your car gets from the wrong crowd as it is, so I doubt you do many stupid things in public with that car seeing as it sticks out like dogs balls.

And who is this guy surposed to be yelling at you, like frk everyone has broken the road rules at some point includeing the old man, guess next time you see the clappadore you should accidentally walk past his car with your keys hanging out of your pocket? I try not to get worked up about road issues anymore because ive realised if they do get an opportunity to damage your car, there is nothing you can do about it so the other guy always has the last laugh, keep your cool and get him back later on where it hurts in the pocket, and he probably won't even suspect it was you.

hey guys, i own a orange r32 thats pretty bloody hard to miss, i also basically am the only one that i know of definately around my area let alone nsw, anyways getting to why i brought this thread up..

i like many skyline owners am a responsible driver that drives and does everything a responsible driver should, although i give it a hit on the freeway every now and then :)

the other night after i finished work i was on my way home when a dickhead in p plates was tail gaiting me, i did the smart thing and slowed down and i even pulled over to the side of the road to let him go past only to have him go slow in front of me hit the breaks and try an coherse me into giving my car a hit. now i have a bit of work done to the car and it has a external wastegate with a screamer that also backfires flames thanks to launch control so you can imagine how loud it sounds.

anyways i thought i have had enough of this shit and i pulled out from behind him and gave it a boot around a street and then turned down another so that i left him and he could not follow me then proceeded to go home as per usual nothing different.

today while i was at work a guy came in and went off his rocker at me about how much a f**king tool i am and driving like an idiot i am gunna kill someone ect ect, of course this made me feel sick to my stomach and utterly embaressed, and i tried to explain the situation to him but all he gave me was your just like every other yound person who thinks they can do what they want, up until this stage i was being courtesy and apologizing for my actions but when he started stero typing me with all those hoon drivers ie holden commodore p platers ect i just got mad and told him where to go, low and behold i see him later on and what car is he driving? a holden gts R8 anyways enough about my rant

basically all i am saying is its not worth it, my reputation ect got hindered because of some low life, in future i will pull over and jst let them keep driving, and i had to get if off my chest as it is eating me up inside

jeremy

what wankers nearly exactly the same thing happened to me accept in my nailing off to get away from the dick who

should be around the next bend but the cops and because i didn't think i would be driving irresponsibly i had my radar

detector off so didn't pick them up and got hit i definitely learnt my lesson after 350 and four demerits

bloody 'p' platers

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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
