Hey guys,

The other day i had a bit of a accident in the wet and hit a curb pretty hard and bent the lower right control arm at the rear and got it replaced with 2 brand new rear tyres and wheel allignment done. However the guys at the wheel allignment place said they could not straighten everything a 100% due to soemthing else (that they couldnt see) being bent. Now the steering is shocking. The wheel is like 10 degrees of centre when travelling straight. So when i let go of the steering wheel when traveling staright, the car shoots left. The other thing I also found was when i turn right the steering feels a lot 'heavier' then when i turn left. Im guessing soemthing is still seriously bent or damaged. My car is a S1 R33 Gts-t. The HICAS light works like normal and its not indicating anything is wrong.

can anyone give me some advice on what it might be? keeping in mind that it was the rear left hand side that i hit hard.

any help/advice would be much appreciated

cheers.

No idea man. I didnt get them cos the people who did the wheel alingment went through my repairer not me personally, so i dont really know. should have got them though.

Then I suggest you get it checked and post the numbers, it will be easy to tell what's wrong. Otherwise I would be guessing in the dark.

Take it to a suspension place and get them to check over the car where you had the accident. Like sydneykid said find out what the wheel alignment is on the car. Do you have positive camber on the back left? COuld be a number of things. ONe thing is to check whether there is any movement in the wheel. Could be the wheel bearing ?

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      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!

      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...
