youll need the correct ratio. pretty much only from an ARX or hicas equipped RS model

unless you pull the LSD centre from that diff and hope it fits yours

also, automatic diffs even from 350z are open wheel

didnt see one Stagea while I was in Thailand.... I did however see so many modified utes it wasn't funny...

I'm pretty sure they should start associating the word ute with that country!

also thought I saw a stagea many times, only for it to be a lowered LOLvo with a big exaust and a body kit!

There wasnt a single Stagea to be spotted in Sri Lanka either! Millions of modified Tuk Tuks/Three-wheelers though. Hardly any utes, but a suprising number of Evos and WRX's (read: still not that many of them)

lol did you notice how they modify the toyota vans?

They take the "to" and "ta" out so it say "Yo" hahahahahahahahahah f**kin sri lankans.. gotta love us

:rofl: Didnt see this, mind you I was usually clenching my jaw with my eyes closed anticipating an imminent car crash :P

LMAO man if you can drive in lanka you can drive anywhere..

my uncle made me get on a motorbike through duplication road.(somewhere in colombo)

i swear i thought i was going to die 10 times.. especially when he goes through red lights

through duplication road.(somewhere in colombo)

F. That. Yeah I know duplication road, went down it a couple of times - a few half decent shopping places in that area.

Meanwhile, they did have something cool though - on some of the main roads (in fact, duplication road I think had it) the main traffic lights have a count down for when they sequence is going to change, so you know how long is left on the green/red. :worship:

My mate and I both saw it and had the same thought.. would be used for street racing here >_<

yeh near Majestic City shopping and stuff.. yeh most of them are count down on main roads.. it adds to the efficiency of traffic or something..

lanka is seriously a place you dont wanna get into a crash though.. if your at fault a whole bunch of people 'may' intentionally beat the shit out of you.. saw it once, and cops dont do anything.

but that was before the war finished.. duno about now..

yeah Thailand has the same count down timer, and all the bikes are off at about 3, before it even turns greeen!

that's probably because half the time the ones with the times (especially in Bangkok) are 3 minute red lights ughhhhhh!

it seems like an eternity with the timer there aswell :P

generally if there's no timer, they don't pay attention to the colour of the signal from what I could tell :P

thats ages.. better off walking lol.. probably safer too

the thing is its probably so hard to actually get to a speed to cause a bad accident in bangkok,

unless you're on a motorbike / scooter (which 90% of the population is) haha

lol at how they all congregate to the front like seagulls

I saw Stageas in Okinawa, Japan. However most of them were just dull and boring- NA models, stock rims etc etc. Only saw a couple of good ones, and neither time was fast enough to catch on Camera.

Photos to come- but don't get excited, they are pretty boring!

IMG_2605.jpg First M35 I saw, outside a panel shop I think.

IMG_2613.jpg Woke up one morning, and this one was outside my window!

IMG_2638.jpgPlace had 3 nice R32 GTR's for sale. I wish I had the time to wander into some of theperformance garages on the Island, I did see a R35 outside of one!

IMG_2664.jpg???

IMG_2665.jpgSeem to be lots of R32s on the island- one place I saw about 8 GTR's in a row for sale. Less R33/R34's.

IMG_2731.jpgDay out at the beach. Bring the Stag!

IMG_2733.jpgThis was from Toyko- just caught it out of the corner of my eye in an alley. Series 2, 250RX

IMG_2739.jpgBentley Flying Spur, I think?

    • 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.
