i'll find a black pair and chop them on and repost

was thinking black but that thread with the jap stageas at the track had a yellow s2 with white wheels and it looked good

Just painted my front headlights!

Chris.

Very nice indeed :3some:

I know a couple of people who want to do that pretty badly :)

Replaced the power steering fluid with Nulon 100% Synthetic ATF, replaced the lower weather shields on the front doors (finally!), gave it a clean yesterday.

Chris.

love it they look fkn great!

Just brought mine back from the car wash...

Oh, and I changed one of the map lights - both were still working, but one was really dim.

Nick stop going all out with ur car dude, or soon ull have to enter autosalon....

i,ve not long had mine, figure i'll wait for things like the turbo to go before spending up on them but it came with r33 four pots on the front, i tinted the taillights and removed the nissan and stagea badges off the rear, got a gps traker alarm with remote shutoff and a blitz cat back exhaust and high flow cat which aren't installed due to the lack of a dump pipe but i's coming lol :)

Yesterday I cleaned the engine bay and gave it a good wash. Today I'm gonna hit it with Mothers Clay Bar and then Meguirs Gold Class Wax. Should look awesome :(

Also, just bought an Innovate wideband O2 sensor that should arrive tomorrow. I'm gonna wire it in to my Vipec ECU and leave it in the car pernamently. Can't wait to play the tune :( Just gonna try and lean out the low-load everyday driving parts in the search of better economy.

just went under mine on the hoist with a torch and a bore scope, and found a few loose fittings, a stuffed tranfer case seal, a loose tailshaft, a leaking coolant seal on the front turbo and a loose front cradle.

Hopefully this afternoon I'll be saying I picked it up with all issues sorted! :(

i finally made a heat shield for my pod

went to foamland (dodgey tassie version of clark rubber)

bought 0.5mx~1.0m of foam with a foil backing for $13.75

got the stanley knife out and started hacking away

ended up with about a .4x.5 m piece left

doesn't look pretty but seals around all the pipes and things well and looks like this:

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