Hey there,

Since I own my R33 it has this rare front bumper and I would like to know what type/brand this bumper is ? On the Dutch and UK forums nobody has a clue, so now im trying here :)

Also if anyone has fitted this bumper with a FMIC, was it a easy job ? As this bumper is pretty small on the downside I'm afraid it's very hard to fit a FMIC.

Yeah its a nice bumper. The only downside is that the licenseplate bracket is placed very bad and doenst look good when you stand in front. Also fitting a FMIC is pretty hard as the bumper is small on the bottom.

Besides that its great !

just bought myself a new front bar and finished cutting it up for the front mount. Didnt come out too bad but i wish i didnt need to cut away at the indicator mounts.

rego plate will be going higher within the next few days.

Wow man, I think the result is awesome !

About the indicators I think I could live with that :) It actually looks kinda cool !

I think I will show this photos to the guy who is going to fit the intercooler, maybe it gives him some ideas :)

Can you also take a picture when you have the rego plate higher mounted ? You also going to cut away the existing mounting place for the rego plate ?

Too bad i'm like the only one in the Netherlands with this front bar :)

Yeh im not unhappy with the result, but would of liked it better if the pipe was not visible.

ill get some brakets for the rego tomorrow maybe and take some snaps. As for the mount below i wasnt planning on cutting it off but i will probably change my mind.

Just got my front bar painted.

Wasn't too keen on being able to see the intercooler pipes, but I dont mind them now that its all together. Next on the list is some clear indicators.

    • 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...
