Well, just got my liner tuned by Mercury Motorsport in Brisbane and I must say I am extremely happy with the results !!! Pulled an overall figure of 242.1kw on 1.2 bar (332.6hp). Car made more horsepower than I first thought it would which made my day !! Added a couple of pics just for viewing ...

If anyone needs work done in Brisbane, I highly recommend Mercury, so a BIG thanks to Trent and the team.

Also, a MASSIVE thanks to Garth from Kaos Racing and my best mate Matt, without them I couldn't have gotten the car to where it is today at all !!

Oh yeah, just a small listing of things that are done:

Apex 260deg Cams

Greddy Plenum

Infinity Throttle Body

Greddy 'Cooler

Z32 AFM

Apex AX53B70 380ps turbo on standard manifold

Nismo 550cc/min injectors

Nismo Fuel Pressure Reg

RS*R 3.5" Exhaust

OS Gieken Twin Plate Clutch

Apex Power FC

Greddy Oil Catch Can

Blitz Dual SBC Spec S

Blood sweat and tears ... :)

Also might add that Mercury Motorsport are a club sponsor of SAU QLD and offer a 10% discount to the members :D

Well i was going to congradulate you on the figures but i kinda got sidetracked by ED G's avatar and forgot what i was going to say :(

Impressive power figures, i hope mine puts out more than im expecting :P

Cheers B

BigDatto - it's the P25 housing. And yes, it's tons of fun ... bit of a handful in the wet with Nankang's on !! :D

Trust33 - They are Sparco NR-1 17" Black with gold pearl. 8" front, 9" rear. Might be for sale soon too due to a new bodykit going on the car.

Thanks for the words to guys !!

    • 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.
