Hey Guy's

I am one of the lucky few that has a dash in my R32 GTR with no bubbles/lifting and I want to do as much as possible to keep it that way.

I have had a protectomat dash mat made up by Vechicle Protection Co in CastleHill (www.vipco.com.au)

Very happy with the quality and fit. Its of a very good quality velour and stitch. Other colours are available.

It cost me $85 delivered to regional nsw.

If your interested contact phil at [email protected]. He is very helpful and turned around the mat in a few days. Mention jason from SAU and im sure he will look after you. They should also have mats for the R33/R34

Here are some quick pics. I have yet to fit the velcro/adhesive pads. I reckon it looks great and compliments the interior

Looks great! would be keen on one. wonder if we could get a group buy up

they sure do. i personally dont have the time to organise a group buy but im happy to ask phil if there is a bulk discount.

in my opinion given the quality and fitment they are worth the $70. Thats cheaper then replacing a dash. I doubt there is much margin in such an item to discount but we can ask

What holds it up/on ?

Seen the damage the Velcro tabs (glue) can do from dash pads. Hence my question.

That one seems to fit better than some I have seen

At the moment nothing. It is so well fitted to the design of the dash it needs nothing to hold it.

I have also done a drive up macquarie pass last week and the mat didnt budge

an adhesive velcro stripped is supplied and i will fit in places where the mat sits up a little.

Before purchasing I did enquire about what damage the adhesive can do. Phil confirmed it cleans up easy with Metho

    • 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...
