Here's a noob question for you. I was pressing different switches in the car today and something had triggered a 4WD light to show up on the dash. I thought the cars were full-time AWD. Can anyone shed any light on why this light is on?

Not full time AWD. They are the same ATTESSA as GTR so only AWD when the back wheels slip. Watch your torque meter when you're on a hill and pulling out somewhere it will flick some drive to the front wheels.

Great. Thanks for that. So do you know what I have switched to engage the 4WD light on the dash?

Was an epic year. So many powder days. Well powder days as far as Australia is concerned. I just got back from riding in Austria and Italy. Got chest deep powder one day in Austria.

Fingers crossed for an even better season this year

Funny follow up on the original car I was going to buy. I drove past the car yard where I was going to buy the original car I put a deposit on with a friend who wants a station wagon. I wanted to show him what a Stagea looks like and wouldn't you know it, the same car is still there. After they told me I had to pay today, today, today as there were so many other buyers clambering to get their hands on this car. Ha ha ha. Slimy car salesman. What a douche..

    • 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.
