That GTR just looks sweet!!!

Farrrk i just accidentally hit "report" on your post lol........ Its OK i cancelled it :P

I meant to agree with this - :yes:

im already looking at ECU and turbo upgrades -_- there goes another 7-10k for install tune and all the odd bits i need. will make over 400kw at all 4 tho with the rebuild. Looking at a Tomei turbo kits but i think that couldbe 12 months off.

Don't go with the tomei kits...it's in general agreement that their a laggy hunk of crap. I've gone with twin 2860-5 for my 400kw goal, but if i was buying the turbos now, i'd probarly look at twin GTX2863's OR possibly twin 2860-9 with E85....

...and vipec/haltech ecu for sure.

Have heard the same things...

Maybe -9s +85 would get you close with heaps of boost.. And would be super responsive?....

Yeah thats what i was alluding too. i'm a little worried about the responsiveness of my -5 set-up. i'm going to see how it all go's first, then if i'm not happy - i'll either vct the head or -9's. E85 will probarly come now anyway - i basically only need a surge tank :-).

IMHO -9's and E85 would be by far the easiest to do rather then going vct to get a responsive 400kw set=up

Yea it's all preference mate, depends if you like more linear power or a harder pull etc..

I'm so keen to squeeze a little extra power from mine in a few weeks, will post results once done

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • 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...
