Put a light bar on your car is the easiest thing .... its light and easily put on and removed

first time out take it easy... lots to things to hit and there for funu not sheep stations

brake early, make the corner, good turn in and accelerate out straight and you'll have an awesome time

Yeah man... they are pretty light. We just made an ally braket to run across in between the headlights in the gap between the bonnet and front bar. We run thermo fans on that car and just unhooked one fan for those nights and put it to the lightbar n just turn it on via missile switch

Did you end up entering the round 2 event this coming Thursday Amir? Come along for a look to see if you like it. There should be at least four 32GTR's at this one looking at the entry list I was sent yesterday.

Yes a light bar is a good idea as it is very dark in places. I'll have mine fitted up for Thursday so will be interesting to see how effective it is. I got a 500mm long one that should do the job ;)

Come say hi if you make it down.

Hey Wes. I haven't entered and I dont think I will be able to do this one, although I really want to. I went up to barbagallo yesterday for the full day No Limits event. Was heaps of fun. If I sort a light bar in a day or two and still have time to enter then I might. How big is the list so far?

Went well mate, all my times were coming down each run. It's definitely an event where you need to do it a handful of times before you can say your confident with everything as its very dark in some places!

I ended up in 18 outright which I was happy with. Plenty of room for improvement :yes:

    • 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...
