I've fitted a couple of HDi kits; they always go together nicely, with no cutting around vents/driving lights or radiator support; which is a plus IMO. Also the best on price.

Na, Jez just told me I can't run high boost like I wanted to.

Just fitted 570's and E-manage , he reckons the stock intercooler is holding it back.

I want to run over 20 psi but it's tuned at 16 as there's high risk of detonation.

219 rwkw though,on a safe tune , that was actually my goal.

It appears there's a fair bit more there if I want it, ... hmmm tempting :yes:

re: slim a/c fan.

Can I get any universal slim fan ?

Supercheap auto...

Any tricks I need to know about this install ?

cheers

Yes, any universal fan is fine.

No tricks; just make sure it's turning the right way.

219 at 16psi? that's good. your mod list? i will meet Jez again later on this month

So looking at stock front bumper, only has 100mm slot for air to reach the intercooler.

Looking at the height of them they are around 300mm.

I'm thinking the front bumper restricts airflow .

Will the HDI GT2 pro really make a difference with the small air duct ?

Can't seem to find any front spoilers anywhere for M35.

Thinking of cutting a huge area to expose the HDI completely.

Anyone else done this ?

I will soon have a m35 full aero kit for sale. [emoji6]

i don't think there is much difference if you can DIY with stock bumper for the lower grill. but i'd say aero bumper is much beautiful.

what i am worry about is the big FMIC will block air flow to the poor radiator. i saw the highest temp on stock intercool is 101-102C when hot day then it will go down after the small fan working.

after fit HDI FMIC with 2 thin fan running, i saw 104C degree on hot day and i don't know when will it go down if keep stuck in traffic.

also i will put a big square custom number plate on front bumper to block the lower grill more :rofl2::rofl2:

My engine temps did not change from running the stock tiny intercooler to running an HDi kit.

Scotty's cooling mod, and a larger capacity radiator will improve the cooling system's ability to shed heat.

IMO; the OEM (quite noisy I agree) is far superior to thermo fans for heat management.

I've run a number of different setups using high capacity fans, and custom made shrouds to ensure efficiency, and nothing works better than the stock Clutch fan.

Dolphin front bar for NM35 is unmatched for airflow.

I did notice an improvement in cooling system performance when I changed from the stock "smiley face" front bar to the Aero Kit front bar.

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

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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...
