Hey Guys,

I have been on the forums for a while and had planned on saying hi earlier but have been a bit bipolar as to whether I was selling or keeping my 95 R33 GTR VSPEC.

My car is pretty standard save for a set of -7's and an upcoming PFC/EBC install.

I plan on keeping things pretty simple with the car, keeping it fairly stock and clean (as clean as I can)

Anyway if you guys are planning a cruise or a brew (I am in Merewether) let me know.

Cheers,

Dean

sounds good man.

we do need another piss up... maybe after the track day next week :)

Yep we all need to catch up as its been a while!

Welcome in mate, clean white skylines FTW!

yea we do need to organise some drinks again...

any ideas for dates or venues? maybe something like we did ages ago, and meet up somewhere for a beer and a feed, and maybe a small cruise or something???

I've gotta get moved etc which will take me out for the next few weeks.... PLUS the gearbox has to come out of my car after the track day too so ill have to see how we go time wise, ideally for us it would be around 17/11 or somewhere like that...

sounds good around that time.

might be working, well see

We have two weeks off to set up the house etc (Was the time of for SAU NATS but no kesh for that with the new house)...

Did someone say drinks?

Any weekend but the 17/11 is good

Ill be in Port Macquarie with wifey that weekend

What's wrong with gearbox Matt? You broken something again?

Jarred should be an expert at house stuff by now

Nice 33 as well, I'll keep an eye out for it

Just over a month till my blacks. Cannot wait to start driving the thing. Hopefully ill have it all complete by then!

The car is meant to be finished getting paint repairs next week.

As soon as its out, its getting booked in for:

- Cat welded in

- Flanged Screamer Pipe

- Varex Muffler

- New intake pipe to airbox & new hotside cooler pipe

- Few gauges wired up

And if I have enough left over

17x9 +22 Enkei RPF1 wrapped in Federal 595 255/40r17 :D

Also anyone got any recommendations for the pipe work I need done? (local business around newcastle)

- Weld in the cat

- Make a new diff back exhaust pipe to go to the varex / basic fitting of the muffler

- Cut the plumback and add flanges + a new little screamer pipe

- Hotside cooler pipe (to hole in body)

- Turbo > airbox pipe

Also the wiring of the varex & three gauges (water temp/ oil temp/ oil press).

One person ive asked can do it all for about $1000. Does that seem reasonable?

    • 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...
