my blonde moment today: (i feel so dumb)

Yesterday driving home from work i started smelling this plastic burning smell from my car when i was nearly home - and i thought it might of been just some kinda toxic fire in the area or something so i got home opened up the bonnet - no smell - that was cool - i walk round to the rear of my car and it was fairly strong but im thinking couldnt be much to catch alight round there so i cant be that must be the smell in the area.

Get inside and mum goes "whats that look on ya face" and i say "smell something funny coming from my car like a plastic smell is it the car or the area" - "its the area today she said" So i didnt think anymore about it.

Get in my car today get to pretty much the same point i started smelling it last time and smell it again - get to orrong rd and it is really bad and i figure out its the car. Anyway theres a light patch shining on my passengers side dash and i saw like heatwaves coming up from it so im like "oh my god maybe its my stereo equipment wires or something and because its coming from the rear of the car could be the battery" I had my sub put in my ZX by a mate and you need special wires of the battery otherwise it could catch fire which i eventually got done but im thinking maybe it wasnt transferred into my skyline and its wired wrong or something.

So anyway where i used to work is about 5mins away - car dealership. So i drive there - noone done the back in the workshop so i run barefoot to the service advisor "jason my car has an electrical burning smell" jason goes" Todd (electrical n import expert) is in Terry (sevice managers) office go see him" So i burst into Terrys office not knowing at the time that Todd was giving in his resignation and Todd goes "ok then i'll be there in a minute"

So i go back down the back and i get closer to the car and i see this white thing hanging from the exhaust. This whole deal was just a plastic bag that got stuck to my exhaust! I felt so dumb!! Why didnt i think of that?!!!

    • 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...
