Seems fair but you have to jump in my car at the track ?

Ok so here's the update I've been waiting for. After having my tyres slashed and subsequently rims ruined (they weren't even CLOSE to being round anymore :S) I've got new ones. Seeing as it happened at work they are covered by my works insurance but they didn't wanna pay the excess and higher premiums so they're gunna just pay me back. So I've been looking for R34 rims but there weren't any in Sydney and I didn't wanna ship interstate and have my work think I was doing something dodgy, so I looked for other genuine nissan rims in the price bracket and found a sweet set of 350z version 2 rims. These are genuine forged Rays rims which were a factory option from the MY06 and onwards 350z. From factory they actually cost around 5500!! And I picked them up for the low low price of $600 haha. Chucked some new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's on as that's what I had on my old rims (and they are incredible for grip, if you need axing grippy tyres get PS3's) and here we are. Now some before and afters, cos everyone likes pics

Looks great. Raj told me what happened to your wheels. Wtf is wrong with people.

A little bit of low would really set it off.

Yeah I know. Really pissed off but at least it's worked itself out now.

Would love to drop it about 20-30mm but that's a fair way off yet

Looks good on the car mate.

Glad to see you got them at a good price as well!

Will have a good look in person next :)

Haha thanks mate, they do look better in person as well. You'll see them on the 22nd ;)

Thanks mate, you need to come see them on the 22nd as well. I have a spare seat going if no FWD Frenchie or GTR

I'm thinking I might do some seat jumping on the cruise as have a few mates coming who can take me home lol

    • 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.
