some of you may know I recently got my heavily modified R32 4 door :D. Well this is all the information I was given when I bought it:

http://www.prestigemotorsport.com.au/au/st...sp?StockID=2784

Car has come all the way here, gone through compliance and registration etc. I finally got it tuned and dynod last week (217.5 kw at the wheels). On the sheet it was recorded as a GTS4. I thought that was a bit odd and hastily checked the model number on the plate.. RNR32 :D. Some how I've managed to score a 4-door gts4 with an RB26dett, but i'm not complaining :D. I'm wondering if i'm going to need to changing anything because i assumed it was a gts-t all this time :).

Yeah the car was reaally tidy actually, only a few tiny traces of rust on the underside where it has been jacked up and one panel not finished properly. It all worked out to be surprisingly close to the estimated cost, although people interested in doing it should definately be aware there are still a fair number of expenses which are expected (like rego and insurance). Definately suggest people budget a few extra thousand over the estimated cost if they want their car on the road within a week or two of it arriving. The car doesn't need anymore braces, it has one in the boot, one in the engine bay (obviously) and one on the underside, very rigid to drive. A couple of things made me start wondering if it really was a gts4 but obviously you'd expect to get a gts-t if you bought a gts-t. the first and most obvious was the AWD light and front torque meters on the dash. But then the car is pretty heavily modified so I assumed they just put a gtr dash in there for fun :cheers:. It seems obvious in hindsight, but i'm not a skyline expert (heck my car is the first skyline i've driven :)). 2 nights ago my mate (who owns a silvia) and I were discussing how different it felt when pushed, especially around corners and that prompted me to check the model number :). It was really the first opportunity to push the car a bit but yeah even I could tell something was very different :). And yeah anything listed on the mods I obviously knew about :), kicking myself about the front drive assembly note though hehe.

But yeah I consider myself realllly lucky with this car :), also came with a carbon fibre bonnet which wasn't listed. Some more pictures if you are interested:

      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!

      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...
