#@Sick_R31 knows how to do it and where to get the shocks.

Yes, yes i do. 2 options

  1. Buy new strut/hinges from nissan. pm me your chassis and model number so i can get the part numbers for you and the cheapest place to get them from
  2. Fit aftermarket struts. Probably the cheaper option as new struts should be around the $30 mark each.

Sick_R31: I really need some new shocks for my R33 to hold the GTR wing and boot up. Do these aftermarket shocks come with the brackets? I've looked into the genuine ones but they are about $100 or so each

Let me know if you can help :)

I don't remember the exact fitting method but I know they don't come with the brackets. You drill out the upper mount of the factory strut and the new one screws in through that hole.

Crazy! I was about to make a new thread and found this started yesterday when my boot decided to split my head open!

I am around Hendra and keen to get the maniacal boot fixed before it breaks my neck! I was putting groceries in the boot and the back end was on a slight decline...BAM! Stabbed in the back of my head for the first time by the car I have owned since January 1998

I am lazy(too busy) and would just like to replace the genuine ones with the like kind.

The aftermarket ones don't come with brackets, minor modification is required to fit them.

Genuine ones are $118 each plus postage through http://www.amayama.com

Am I the only person with original boot struts that still work?

They work right up until your boot decides to go all guillotine on your head

Mine work just fine thank you!!! As long as I am on a flat surface or I reverse in my driveway that has an inclination of about 15 degrees LOL

Bitch has turned into a Guillotine on a declining angle!

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
