ah k, that's not as bad as i was thinking. ya, i've got hks cams, but not too sure about cam gears.

thanks for the reply,

Regards,

Shaun

oh yeah, and another thing, how does it drive on the road? i mean, if you're just driving normal and not wanting to go on boost, is it alright to drive? i'm just wondering how it's going to go as a daily driver... hehe, i'm sure ppl will get a scare once i rev up to 5500 :P

driving daily its very good, wont come on boost untill you want it to, its a good kit as its got a big kick at about 5000 but still drives smoothly untill and over 5000.

sweet, sounds great! i'm looking forward to driving it when it arrives. I appreciate your help,

Shaun

oh yeah, one more thing - how much power has ur 32 got? also, if you've ran it down the quarter, what time did you get? Cheers.

heya all,

i'm getting a R32 GTR with a T78-33D and was just wondering what sort of lag should i expect? Anyone know at what rpm full boost will arrive? Any help would be great,

Regards,

Shaun

An excellent buy too, i saw the car on J-Spec

about 400kw@wheels every day and 450 when i go racing and the car has run 10.8 ( notice how i didnt write i raced the car))

And I think its also a fair comment that there is a fair bit of work to get the car to run a time like this...........

damn, that's hefty as! sweet! now i cannot wait till it lands... hopefully should be here within 3-4 weeks. i'll update you guys when it lands, cheers for the replies.

Morgs - yeah, definately need fair bit of work to be able to run that much power. but, from the mods listed it looks as if it would be able to handle a lot.

Let me know what you guys think,

This the one I take it :rofl:. Looks like it could be a monster. Would be interesting to know what the owner used it for.. I am inclined to think drag (though the condition is very good apart from the paint). Wonder if there are any mount points for a cage?

LW.

Looks like a very good car for the price. I have seen some in much worse condition sell for not much less. Best of luck with it.

A friend just bought one with similar mods, but larger T88 turbo, that was already landed here.

yep, that's the one. well, apparently the owner did not race it (apparently). He said he accelerated hard every now & again while using it as a daily driver. But, how much of that are you going to believe...

Yeah, i think it looks too much 'sleeper like' for a jap car. I mean, there's 2 little gauges on the left of the steering wheel, boost controller & turbo timer below it... just doesnt look like it was raced. I mean, nearly every heavily mod'd gtr in jap has a roll cage, so it's odd how this one doesn't. BUT, what can you tell by pictures, might've been removed for all we know. But the mechanical inspection said nothing about a cage, so i don't know.

NXTIME - yeah, thanks man. i just hope everything goes sweet with it.

Jolinator - in the list it says 'aftermarket computer', so it's not just running the SAFC

The 'HKS Drag Meet' stickers suggest he probably did accelerate every now and then :rofl: LOL.

LW.

hehe yeah, that's what the mechanical inspector said "owner states that it wasn't use for race... except those stickers on the side tell me differently" thought they're dated a few years ago, i think it looks ok. Most race cars that i've seen through j-spec have cages, monster gauges all down pillar, racing harness, warn driver seat or aftermarket bucket seat, body not in good order, etc. This one looks great (except for the front guard and roof), and the mechanic said "it drove extremely well, and it's tuned excellent". I just hope he is reliable...

    • 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.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
