horrace put a socket on it and your breaker bar, position it so you can give it a kick and the sharp all of a sudden torque you will create from booting the breaker bar should get it cracked. Make sure the sockets on nice and square first.

well the 25 boxes and the 33 gtr boxes are pretty much the same

and my mates stock shifter fitted in my rs4s

it should fit

I thought the shifter was different due to having a transfer case hanging off the extension housing.. must be wrong though, haven't looked at one in a LONG while. I did have my RB25 shifter in the RB20 box before I upgraded so I definintely know that works.

GOT MY m35 ON THE ROAD TODAY!!! finally drove it properly!

f**king totally inlove with it!

goes SOOOOOO much more harder than what i expected, and with the kenstyle/hks coilovers it handles f**kin great!!!!

next to lower the coilovers all the way, and put on 30mm spacers :laugh::D:D:D:D

oh when i was driving the engine light came on. and the car stopped driving and just went to idling!

turned the car off waited a minute all was good.

im pretty sure it had something to do with the accel pedal flipping down and me pushing it flat out lol...

Just got my newly painted V35 wheels on the car :laugh:

Colour is Toyota Pewter. Thanks again Chris (Spoolin'12) for the wheels, though, I paid SIGNIFICANTLY more for the paint than what I was telling you!

Better pics when the sun is shining.

Porn! Looks nice. I'm keen to get slotted rotors soon too. Gotta get a tune for 16psi first. :laugh:

What... Me?... Never... :huh:

Okay, time to put my 2.2 New Zealand cents in...

Not many individuals go from a highflow turbo back to a stock turbo and say they prefer it, so this is quite foreign to most and probably the cause of much angst.

Saying you didn't even make 7psi until high up in the rev-range is saying that the setup you had was not ideal, whether it be your tune, boost controller gain etc...

I could go on, but I'm sure it'll just be echoing what others have already said :)

Hi Tim

Just to say it again. Any turbo, no matter what size, or characteristics doesn't provide ANY boost until it is spooled up.

This hi-flow was so slow to spool that is wasn't making any boost under 3000 RPM. I am not saying that what others have done with their cars is wrong.

The big question I had was that if it was making full boost on an RB20 at 3200 (as claimed by the builder), then why would the drift guy have taken it off? I know now that it couldn't have been.

I (stupidly) thought that it would be OK on an RB25. It wasn't. Also I didn't want to shell out another $2000, to put another turbo on.

To be honest I probably wouldn't have even looked at a high-flow if it wasn't offered to me so cheaply ($900). It's still for sale if anyone wants it!

I really only wanted 200kw, and 194 is close enough.

I don't really see it as going backwards, I feel that an increase of 32kw (over the old engine) is great considering all I have done is really have the Nistune installed and tuned. The main reasons (obviously) are a motor with only 54,000kms (instead of 119,000) and a new (rebuilt) turbo and tune.

The dyno charts will show comparisons.

I think that once I post these are up people will find that pretty interesting.

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...
