Good to know haha. I never do track days that require 5th so hasn't really bothered me as yet lol. The guy that owned my car before me did a lot of highway driving from Bathurst to Sydney so I'm just guessing he didn't change back when he should have and put too much load on the gear through the moutains or something.

Lol i am sure you will need 5th at some track days :P

Does your diff push oil out after a hard thrashing? I was told to relocate the breather higher and upways!

Hasn't that I have noticed so far haha. Post pics when you do it so I can see to do if I have to :P

Lol no worries! I take pics of most stuff anyway so if it happens i am sure you will see it :yes:

Common issue with Subaru's, I have made a few diff adapters to stick a hose on them, to relocate the breather higher. Works well.

Ah nice! Thanks for letting me know :yes: Ill have to have a look and work out what to do...

The rear of my car was covered in diff oil after my 3 sessions at SMSP GP. Nothing too bad, bit on the subframe, and spots on the back.

I just figure its self leveling :P

Just keep telling yourself that. It will last longer with less oil to get in the way and wear the gears... :P

:laugh: I like it...

Sounds like breather mods for all :woot: plus i gotta change the oil in it so gives me an excuse to get under and get it sorted!

I've already dropped the subframe once... not too keen on bothering doing it again.

50mls looks like a lot when its spread on the outside - I'm not too concerned :P

Probably only noticed it since I de-greased and pressure washed the subframe since I had it out.

Ill be attempting to do it in the car, i dont wanna pull it all apart :P

Remember they dont have much oil to start with :no:

eh, doesn't your breather connect to a hose?

I don't get fluid leaking out of mine, unless it's all evaporated lately (skips like a locked diff now lol)

Yeah hence why my chassis leaks diff fluid lol...

It only does it on track....

^LOL

so when we going to terrorise sydney with gate warz? LOL

Haha... I dont use it on the streets too much, mainly quiet country drives :ph34r:

Remember mine is a r180 not a r200

The breather is just a little pressure release button tucked in behind the back of the subframe. Not an easy thing do sort in the car tbh.

Oh :/

Well ill have a look at mine and attempt to repair :yes:

    • 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.
