Lucky bastard, I hope someone dies and gives me money. I'll help you spend it, the car could be very fast soon.

See'ya:burnout:

Nice to see the family sentiment is alive and well. When you go to family do's are you sitting there thinking if he / she croaks here comes my new front mount etc:p

coarse not!! My love of imports started with an 88 black targa 300zx Turbs best condition in perth - still got it trying to sell the little bugger. My dad was pointing at the Z32 in the auto trader going "U like that?" and im like awww shore do and then he would go "you cant have it its too expensive!" then when he pointed out the Z31 (cos it looks pretty hot not like the others u see around" ) i thought he was pulling the same trick. It was traded in by some 60yr old guy who bought it out from hong kong and bought a black R33 GTST like what i now have concidently he was at the car yard when i picked up my GTST small world.

Geez , my first car was a Datto 1600.

Wish I still had it sometimes but that was a looooong time ago.

Cheers

btw has the Z31 got a heater ? Strange question I know but have seen a LOT of Hong Kong cars with only aircon , no heater?

yes it has a heater - haha and it stays on!! You fry in a black targa with a heater thats just wont quit!!

Well when i was 16 i was a lil junior working at skippers and i was walking down shepperton rd and thought - when i get my license im going to have a black car with attitude.

I have a dream :) haha

Despite my mum telling me from a young age that my first car wouldnt be a V6 or V8 i could put that outta my head but thank heavens for dad i had a V6 turbo and learnt to drive mainly on a HSV. With a family like mine u have to be into cars theres no way around it.

Jeez Ken, your really showing your age with the Datto 1600, did you get it when they first started producing them:lol:

We're lucky these days, most of us are able to buy cars that our parents would have dreamed about.

I have let my dad drive the car once, unfortunately he didn't die. I have to wait for both my parents to croak, and then find a way to kill my sister, not that any of this is premediated:lol:

See'ya:burnout:

Joe , wash your mouth out, comparing that pommy front wheel drive , engine the wrong way shoebox on wheels with the finest engine the right way , rear wheel drive rally car to come out of Japan in the 70's .

    • 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.
