yea thats what ive heard, my tuners swear that the airbox's cant make more than 300awkw or something? didnt like me putting them back in over the pods i had in there.. but i had heard many stories of them going near the 400awkw mark so i dont know..

I think you can modify the stock box to suck air from the fender, there is a hole and abit that sticks into the guard, you just need to cut the hole in the box from memory.. will look into this at the next stage though. not sure if you did this joel?

ive been assured they don't become a restriction to ~400kw

I'll soon see :-)

Adam, ive sent a msg to paul asking for the price. i'll let you know.

My box has this in it stock, has a vent on the side with an induction pipe into the fender also

can you take a few photos. Thatt don't sound stock. (the vent is and the hole in the fender is there for a seperate reason).

whats the duct going to the fender for? i was just assuming, having not looked into this too much, only heard that you can cut a hole somewhere that opens them up a little? assumed it was that section but not sure if there was a hole in already there etc?...

can you take a few photos. Thatt don't sound stock. (the vent is and the hole in the fender is there for a seperate reason).

Yeh np ill take a few pics, i could be wrong maybe it holds it in place but i sware it has a vent on the side as i just took it out 30min ago, there is deffs something on the side of the airbox to.

Sorry to report, thats looks all stock. You had me excited for a mod for a while.

That thing that goes into the fender is a little resonator, it can be removed for greater airflow.

You could make a pipe from that in the fender and run it down to the front bar or into the wheel well

Hey guys, what's everyone up to today?

Ordering braided line for oil cooler.... Black on black :ph34r:

Mmmm that looks familiar....

I believe pitcrew at Thorton stocks it too.

Yeah MSCN is pretty good and deliver to JEM so ill just get it sent there :)

I assume everyone is aware of the new road rules? DONT touch your phone :domokun:

Oh and i think ill just drive through roundabouts with my hazard lights on as the rules are stupid!

Mathew I told you black isn't jdm anymore it's all about the beige engine bays and bonnets!!

I was thinking more Cerise for my next build! LOL

Hey guys keep ur eyes out for a set of Garrett GT2860R -5 for me, looking to pay around $1500 for a 2nd hand set looks like thats the market price from past sales on the forums.

    • 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...
