Yes, wheels world are agents for whiteline. They arnt in subi any more though, not sure where they are now. Nasty landlord wanted to raise the rent to an unreasonable amount so they have moved.

im going to set the story straight. i know the landlord.

the landlord did not want to increase their rent at all. they owe alot of money, which is mostly owed to the landlord in unpaid rent.

there are no winners. everyones lost out.

rob, can u please refrain from calling the landlord "nasty" until u know the real story. thanks.

i have nismo adjustable suspension all round in my car and am gonna take it to the drags soon, what would i need to set the rear on for optimum performance?? i am gathering that i would set it on the softest possible, to get the best traction, but im not entirely sure, can someone enlighten me on this???

GOT BOOST : you going down to the Motorplex this Wednesday?

I'm taking my video camera .... gonna get some nice footage! :P

My brother actually got you on video a couple of weeks ago dragging a Silvia!

Glad you won :D

u want a setup that doesn't bounce back up quickly after it squats. ie so the rear stays down allowing the tyres to grip better due to the weight being transfered towards the rear.

how u do that with adjustable suspension i have no idea but thats what your after.

I dont think you'll see an increase in power (maybe a better curve and maybe a couple of kw's). But with the better cooler the car will be getting more cool air in and intake temps will be better which will stop detonation. The next step is either bigger turbo and more boost, or (I would do this first) new ecu or rechip the r32 cpu.

sorry buddy, not sure what you're talking about - think you might have yourself in a twist :(

1.34 HP to every KW

kw = 1000W

watt=power

rootle tootle :D

if running stock turbo you might find your car runs worse.. not better when fitting the new cooler. You may need to get some tuning done?

That cooler may to big for you current application.

I fitted a 750X350X100 to my R33. Initially run like crap, it gave me lag... took sh*t load of tuning of AFC and adjusting timing to get it right. In the end the cooler increased my power by 10kw on the dyno.

To this day I believe the cooler was to big for my car.......

    • 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...
