I thought I recognised that plate. Now I know it's because It's a local one. Welcome to the Skyline world :D

The RB20DET is a pretty fun engine. It certainly can make some power, so you'll have fun modifying it, but I think what most people like about it is its on-off nature. ie a slug off boost, but then you really notice it hit hard as you go on boost. It's a very different feel from the RB25.

I'm personally not that into these lightswitch motors, but there's plenty on here that love them.

THE PIG dont get me wrong these cars r very good inside but there just to heavy , any any v8 (ford)-(holden) are gunna cost u great money to get them going ie supercharger's twin turbo's then injectors comp, heads(2),( mach) i mean a $$$ 3,000 cam and chip pkt with head work is f all 4 ya dollar believe me then u have to make sure there put 2gether right and thats where u make and break and ill b the first one 2 say that (what is the best holden) the vl turbo six (nissan) with twin cam convertions ,,, anyway have a laugh at my last holden $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$and still dont go like the r32

mic33r what dyno do u use in newcastle (scotts dyno)- gforce now have a dyno dynamic machine at gates head ive been told on the grape vine

I haven't used any dynos in Newcastle actually. I had my car tuned once in Sydney. I'll get my next one tuned here though. I'm not sure who I'll use.

She (The Pig) still looked good when we buffed & polished her. But Im sure the r32 will look even better. I knew I recognised the plate, Only once I seen the pics of the commo did it click! Hope you were happy with the job. Probably see you around. Scoop.

    • 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...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
