Sooo... I didn't attend the dinner... And have had a pretty bad week. I've owned my R33 for a week. As some of you already know... I let my friend drive my car earlier this week...

Just thought I would post a picture of why this can be considered a bad idea...

Lesson learnt.

He was being a doushe... His idea of "drifting"... FML. Straight into a barrier. The kid owns a front wheel drive! He over corrected (as you do when you drive a front wheel) ...

nasty, dont let ur mates drive. i dont even let my parents drive mine.

imho this doesnt need a thread of its own- wasteland is for posts like this

mods tend to frown upon multiple topics getting raised

I dont even think my dad knows how or even what a drift is :) He considers his 1990 stock Celica to be a super fast sports car... I guess my father just fails at the midlife crisis game. Mind you he was a alfa enthusiast back in the day :) Alot of cool cars.

He is funding the crash yes. Kind of feel sorry for the bloke... I mean he is doing the right thing, and surely I've lost out by having the damage... But he is going to be a bit out of wallet on this one

lol i used to let my old man drive but he doesn't take care with low things like spoon drains and other stuff that crunches front bars and parts

hahaha ^that too. they must feel like they've jumped into a modern version of their old 202 triple webber powered torrie or something

thats pretty much what i dread

he has one of those wankers 4wds... a certified burnside bus (mercedes ML320 suv) which hasnt got the tyres or lift to go off road but has a 'low gear' setting incase your mansion is on an incline... hes a bad driver too...has a habit of not checking his blind spot

let my dad drive my previous rexy and gsr cordia once each respectively.

the gsr got reversed into a no standing pole in the first 5 minutes and didnt even leave the front lawn.

The rexy required a new clutch after he chewed it out and the gearbox linkages felt weird with one 45 minute drive.

(mustve ground gears every change) -- too scary to think about !

all family members since banned from driving any of my rides unless its an emergency!

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • 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...
