Just (very briefly) drove mine with the revalved Bilsteins in the front: 1000000% improvement, but still a little work to do: bump stops still need to be replaced with slimmer items: the old ones were all but destroyed when the shock failed :)

Pretty impressed so far: hoping to have the car back mid next week, handling like it should (and used to)...

What are the offsets PetroDola?

Are they rolling or flaring the guards? The fronts are already "rolled" from the factory, the rears can be rolled.

Is yours a RS? let me know the offset and I can work out exactly how far out from the factory guards they will sit, or if they will foul the front control arm.

mines actually an RX the one below in my pic is the car in question.

I believe theyll be rolling the gaurds i know the fronts are quite rolled already but the rears will need doing. is the offset is 9.5?

thats the width. It should be stamped somewhere on the back of the wheels hub or spokes. You may also have a sticker on the inside of the rim.

Should look something like 19 x 9.5J +35 etc. 19 being the rim diameter, 9.5J being the width and a + or - number being the offset. Looking at the pics of your rims you would have a positive offset on those, probably around +30 or more. If its higher than +35 you will need to run spacers on the front to clear the front control arm, if its lower than +30 you will need to roll your guards.

So basically it will be perfect at 9.5J + 35 to +30 and you wont have to do anything other than fit tyres!

Thats awesome!

You shouldnt have to roll anything, Just be careful on tyre size, a 245 or 255? should be sweet. If you go something too wide then they will scrub the guards.

but +30 will look sweet! cant wait to see pics when they are on.

Oh crap, dude... How bad? looks like the intercooler has had it, aside from the obvious panel damage.... :)

Made an executive decision to trade in the Alpine pre-boxed R-type subs I installed late last year, and permanently mould in the Alpine S-types I have sitting here into a sealed enclosure. I have no idea what I was thinking when I bought the R-types: ported subs are not my thing, but the ability to remove them for track-day antics was appealing.

Since I broke my back, track days are now off the table, so I may as well go with a SQ setup, which is what the rest of the audio system is geared towards... I figure using the subs I already have sitting here will save me a heap of money over the "buy a pair of X-type 12"s" option...

Very much hanging out to get the old girl back witht the front suspension sorted: a drive in a mate's '05 STi reminded me of how the barge should feel on the road, and I believe there is still a way to go...

achieved a bit for the weekend:

- fitted PIVOT speed meter and PIVOT shift lamp

- fitted red LEDs to the dash - now all interior lights are red

- sprayed rain gaurds gloss black and fitted up

- took back surface rust on rotors and sprayed them black with VHT caliper paint

- put on some hubcentric rings, has got rid of vibration at 100km/h

- used glassylite on the UV affected headlights (these things were shot, so yellow that i was trying to source replacements but this glassylite stuff has took them back to brand new - best 40 bucks i've spent on the car)

i have a list of 'to do' stuff, so it's getting shorter each weekend - but the more time i spend in and around the car, the more i find! its tough being OCD!!!

link to glassylite please

im getting sick of polishing them

fitted my sub on the weekend, good to have a ballenced stereo once again, just need to fiddle with the settings some more

edit, also painted the rear brakes in 3m blue caliper paint (same as the fronts) and fitted them

should have my speed bleeders soon and hopefully a firm pedal all the time soon after that :(

Picked mine up again prematurely (so it's still got a bit of suspension work to do), because I managed to trash the front bar on the beemer yesterday: I mean, who thought it was a good idea to put boulders on each side of their driveway, right at the gutter end, where they're impossible to see?!

the trick is the 'nano sealant' - but just be careful with your quanitities, they give you SFA in the kit, so you need to make it all last.

hey mate i'd be interested to see ur sub setup, i did some measuring today and was left scratching my head.....

This is the current setup, but as stated, is subject to change completely in the near future...

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
