Just a quickie update

Finally the sound deadner is all out and is looking a lot neater!

The bulk was easy to get out with the dry ice but the little bits were a pain in the ass

Cheers guys

Picked it up for not alot when you take into account what i sold off of it as it was very neat!

if / when i come to selling it ill most probably strip. Havent spent a whole heap, as most things ive done myself and also got second hand on here.

More of a budget build then anything else

Will upload a bunch more pics in the coming weeks and specs as it will be up and about for mallanats in adelaide, in a months time! heres to giving some V8s a suprise!

Just looked back over the thread, I had in my head this engine had upgraded internals but looking back over I can't see any evidence of that - is this a fully stock block?

STOCK STOCK block. Stock head just new head gasket and studs.

Have another engine im slowly buying parts for to forge eventually. Just seeing how long it will last before it goes *pop*

Thanks guys will post results as soon as i get them

If you have a decent tuner you will find it will be a long time before it goes pop! I still have the stock headgasket too remember lol

hahah i have taken inspiration from your set up and efforts! defiantly subscribed to your build.

hoping it lasts 12 or so months and give me time to get parts for a build together... plus i keep chopping and changing what i want to do / go about it

Lol now i might have to do the same with your car, time to get dry ice and some weight reduction happening lol

hahah

The dry ice works really well. i got around 10 kilo of it but could have used more. defiantly the more you can afford the easier the job becomes!

Trying to find a carbon boot and looking at lexan rear 1/4 windows and rear window.

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
