Thinking of putting a spec m front bar on my series 1, did a google search and both the series 1.5 and spec m front bumpers look the same? Are they the same thing or are people naming bumpers wrong? I mainly wanted to know if it is much lower to the ground then the series 1 bumper and if anyone knows what it looks like with standard series 1 side skirts?

Is this what you are talking about? I had this on my S1 and as far as I can tell its no different to the S1.5 front bumper

89cal has standard side skirts, yours doesn't have any side skirts on it, that's just the body. His front bar is M spec/1.5 (same thing) and yours appears to be standard S1 base model.

haha...noobs..

actually I got a guy (wont say who but everybody who frequents FI section knows him) who always asks me where i got my special rare front bumper, cause hes never seen one like that..its stock S1...:laugh:

Ok thankyou for finally answering my question about whether M spec and S1.5 was the same bar! Initially I thought that mine just had small side skirts, I now realise it has none. Did side skirts come standard with S1.5?

Yeah well i've been trying to source another series 1 bumper because I quite like them and mine is effed (dad crashed my car, believe it or not! ) but there are none around! all I can source is the series 1.5 bumper so I bought one the other day and will see how it looks without side skirts in a week once the rest of the car is fixed :(

    • 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.
