Low is slow:cheers:

low is not always slow, but maybe in this instance it is

is it professionally lowered?? if not have the wheels been balanced and aligned?

cause if it is that low that it is rubbing the inside of the tyre might wear away and then blow out and then cause lots of trouble - accidents, dead people, manslaughter charges etc (very very nasty stuff)

its pretty low..my front gtr bar is sitting 72mm off the ground. the wheels dont show any camber i have only dropped it 1.5 inches i have GAB coilovers and just wound them down a bit..the inner plastic just scrubs on the top of the tire when i hit bumps on the road. and when i i go around a corner and hang the arse out (powerslide) the wheel just rubs on the actual gaurd itself i think due to bodyroll....to eliminate all of this i would it be recommended to just rais it .5 inches, and buy a bigger front sway bar to stop the body roll, and mould the plastics up a bit or just rip it out...in affect of ripping of the plastics will this mean when rocks flick up under the gaurds can they dent the actual gaurds???

I know a lot of cars not running the inner guards.. with wide body kits etc.

Stone etc dont dent the guards.. but you need to make sure the wiring is sealed well and there are no holes the enter the inside of the car... the water flicking off the wheels gets in even the smallest hole.

Too low is slow.

By removing the inner guards panels you have noticeably increased the aerodynamic drag, thereby lowered the top speed, reduced the acceleration rate and increased the fuel consumption.

Shall I get into how much power you have lost in excessive drive shaft angles? Nah, it's not realy necessary because everyone knows that:cheers:

I can't see you going fast speeds/hr on undullating semi-country road with 19's and 7cm off the ground.. Like the other night stuck behind some clown with a u-beaut body kit.. he was holding everybody up because of being worried about his precious bodykit dangling cm off the ground. What is the point of having a fast car that you can't push because you are worried about the bodykit scraping the ground, or can barely corner properly. All he did was shit people off.

So ok, all its good for is tough laps.. fullsic.. cops love lappers too

      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!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
