take it to a workshop and speak to a good tuner ie boostworx or willall......they can give you some very handy advice......also they prob have come across a prob like this and would be able to tell you straight away rather then us trying to trouble shoot over the interwebz

i cant take the car there but ill drop by one day and ask cheers mate

sorry if i sounded a bit harsh mate.....didnt mean to come across that way.....but your way better off speaking to a good tuner rather then get some info from us.....in saying that no harm in asking tho...hope you get it sorted out mate

yeah Krishy is right only so much we can diagnose and its all guessing anyways :thumbsup:

but when i saw 100,000k old clutch i though oh boy prolly time for a new one

should have seen my last one...had nothing left on it....metal on metal lol

nar your all good mate thank 4 the help

check that he hasnt put thicker oil in to shut it up

agree, crunchy synchos , try swapping out the oil in the gearbox, with some "Redline" brand oil. not shockproof but MTL (or suitable weight)

it will make your box like butter in the cold weather compared to the factory goop

shockproof (smirf blood is too slick for syncro meshing to work)

it will also bring the temps down on the tranny in hot weather drastically, I can get a group buy price on it if we can get a decent order ? I've used it for 20 years without drama in any car

if not then try the clutch spigot bearing , and disk, springs in the hub

a worn bushing on the throwout fork can create too much free play for clean disengagement as well

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
