Today I finished a complete coolant flush in preparation for summer, engine bay clean and tidied up some bits and pieces around the car.

Also fitted up a TechTom consult display from a mate small compact jap unit that displays digital speed, water temp, AFR and something else thats slipped my mind. Not 100% sure where ill put it but for know its here:

PS. who else is HATING this new forum format!?

One of the best ebc's but its nothing a $30 turbotech wont do imo.

yeh ive got a little "t-bar" boosty. i was just told that its not good to use coz of weather change. didnt make sense to me seeing as its in a hot engine bay lol.

:O

Ive still got the turbosmart Tboost thing. reckon use that one?

I've got the ProfecBII in my Skyline and the Stagea, good little units, simple to install and set up.

I wouldnt mind an electronic one though.

the profec b IS electronic. unless you were still talking about the turbosmart bleed valve

nah the bleed valve thing. i had it on the car before. then the turbo died. RIP gay ceramic fan.

but i could control it to pretty much exactly what i want. where I hear about these electronic BC's are like you must set warnings and make them 2psi higher than what you want n blah blah blah.

yeah set a warning, and then it can drop the boost if it goes over X level

the gain setting is fun lol but you can get the car on boost faster than a bleed valve can.

hmm you should send me yours so i can test it :whistling:

ok send me an address and $500 and you can borrow it for as long as you like :P

for hire?

Thats pretty strange seeing as i can get a new one for $346.00. I can keep it forever as well lol :domokun:

Wut?

Jase, dude, this forum IS my real life, everything else is just a thin veneer :P

Bit late in the year to be planting out seeds innit? Well, if anyone knows how to get them up and running it will be Chuckie, and i know HE will share the love :thumbsup:

Propogation tray and blanket with trinidad scorpion seeds is where its at buddy. Chuckie is not sharing the love, so he's not on my no xmas card list atm.

Dude it`s all about SHARING THE LOVE :3some::kiss::blush:

Stop giving said ppls shit and lend me those rims so i can tee up with the rim repairers? glory training, who cares about glory. lol at eagles not being able to train at subiaco bcos of the mess left after Bon Jovi, or should i say Patersons Stadium.

On a side note, I think I may have to go to Mela in Northbridge for a curry tonight.

    • 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.
    • 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.
