Picked up the stag after new plenum install.

Sex!

Just ran a rag over it, so she's not detailed properly :)

Is that my throttle cable???????????????????

Why 66, yes it is! And its thanks to you I have the stag now :))

Incidently are the cam covers polished or chromed? My Gready look alike is chromed so i want the covers to look the same.

thanks mate, havent seen u for a while, and im on 2 weeks hols atm too so it will be a little while...though maybe not looking

forward to the roughness of annangrove road :)

Yeh it has been a while, Annangrove road is shocking at the moment i have been leaving the skyline at home most days and using the daily hack, hope they fix it soon.

badly when it rains down that road it looks like a mine field....

hi flow turbo and WB o2 sensor is in, max tp limit so no more fuel cut, pulled some fuel out, added a few degrees of timing and now its standing up when floored. Damn AFM is maxing out now though, will put my z32 one on tomorrow.

Also noticed when i took the standard turbo off that the impellor is all chipped, explains the noise when it was on full boost, (i was chasing a boost leak, it sounded like air squeeling). Looks like it wont be going back on the r32.

Whilst loading a case of beer into my garage beer fridge, accidentally dropped one on the floor. Bottle hits the ground, smashes, then to add insult to spilt beer, the broken end with the cap still attached, bounces 5 feet, hits the door of the Stag and put 3 little scratches on it!

F##k this for a game of soldiers, going to drink a few of his mates, that'll learn 'em...

found out why it whines on high boost :worship:

getting the turbo off was not the most enjoyable job tho

will fit the new gasket tmrw and bolt the 3inch dump up

also, lolz at the stock dump pipe, i'm surprised that the wastegate can even open

i also have a sneaking suspicion that the rest of my exhaust is 3.5 inch cos the front pipe on my car is a bit bigger that the 3 inch dump/front pipe i have and it necks down just before the dump->front flange

So after having my replacement engine in for a few weeks with a hi-flow on it, it is now back to a rebuilt std turbo, (my old one) with a ceramic impeller. The difference is HUGE. The hi-flow didn't come on until 3200 rpm. It was at max boost at about 3700rpm. The newly rebuilt std turbo is on boost even lower than it was before the engine was replaced. It starts coming on a 2200 rpm and pulls hard to about 6000. The car now has a Nistune and will be tuned before the weekend. The hi-flow was not for me, that's for sure. It was slower than my wife's Maxima, until it got to about 60kph, then it was doing over 100 kph before you knew it..... crazy as far as I am concerned.

I'll post up the dyno sheet after it is done.

Replaced the plugs in my Stag and replaced the coilpacks too. Checked the CAS timing and reset the ECU while I was at it. :D

Also chasing why my brakes makes this loudish acoustics noise when its moving backwards (rolling back or reversing). Makes no noise moving forward. Got new pads and bedded them in on the track. They were fine up until I had to reverse out of my driveway for the first time with them. NOTHING is rubbing the rotors except the pads.

Mine does the same thing.

Jetwreck gave me his old r32 disks complaining bitterly about the squeal they had but I must have put them in backwards. ;)

Should have tried swapping them Craig...

    • 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.
