nah i think the prob is the rubber stops havent been replaced - once i get those done and the wheels are aligned and balanced if that doesnt fix it i will look into what else can be done. I acknowledge that lowered cars are bouncy but its nothing like when i first got the car - if i can get it back to that standard a happy girl i will be ;)

mornin adrian..

the ITC we're talking about is the Apexi one.. the Apexi AFC does the same thing - looks way funky but I can't find anywhere to mount them for the flashy light effect.. hehe...

ride is gooooood ;)

is it pretty much standard - i aint hightening it anymore than a few mm's. The stops do make a difference - just where to get them from - i thought cred would of thought to replace them when they did my suspension!

I put mine in the glove box under my SAFC.... get brett to whack it there aswell perhaps? the further away frorm drunk peoples fingers the BETTER!!

niz my mate had them rubber stops in his subaru and they are prone to popping out, coz one of his did so one side of his car was lower then the other it looked wierd! i had a good laugh though! they called spring stoppers aren't they?

cool cool cam ITC sounds boss and i presume when you say AFC you talking bout the old skool 5 knob apexi one?

adrian ;)

yeah they are prone to breaking and wear n tear etc - but i swear they make a difference - well i guess i'll know for shore once i get new ones in to see if that fixes part of the problem. I think that may be the reason my cars front end has decided to sink a bit too ;) I could be way off the mark - but these are my theories.

yeah spring stoppers to help heaps! i was just mentioning how they do pop out maybe your front ones have popped out? if you have some in there already!

yall reckon i should ditch my apexi n1 front pipe and get a 3 inch dump/front made up or just get a dump made up and bolt onto front pipe?

adrian ;)

25GTT - I have a large fist that says "drunk ppl no play with stuff in car" ;)

Adrian - yea.. the old skool ones.. work ok.. the car came with them so they'll do till I decide to upgrade the whole computer..

Niz - pity c-red didn't think to do that, or tell u they may need to do that.. some things don't change maybe? found out mine are std coils and shocks.. my coils have been heated so have thought about changing them, wheels world quoted round $500 for a set of whitelines that would sit the car about 30mm lower.. but with the shocks being nearly 100,000km old i think i'll just hang out and get some cool coilovers.. :D

yeah i wouldve liked coilovers - out of price range tho.

I was actually told by another mechanic exactly what had to be done to my car in great detail - including replacing the stops and stuff. just annoys me these things dont picked up - i mean you've got the car there u might as well do this - makes you extra money while your at it. I shouldve asked but the thing is all the other suspension shops were going to do it as a package so i just thought cred were going to do it as well - cant complain about the price but i wouldve preferred to pay a bit more and get the whole lot done and outta the way. but anyway nbot everything goes to plan.

he was the one i talked to in the first place - its my fault i shouldve asked i know not everyones a mind reader but its just the suspension places did as part of package assumed he would too - its good when i worked in welshpool and it was close to drop my car in but now its too far away to keep going back and getting stuff done - prefer somewherein osb park.

Adrian - why not just get a dump pipe to suit the apexi one? be alot cheaper right?

coilovers are cool.. ;) adjustable stuff is fun... but yea - probably wouldn't waste the $$ on it...

Niz - maybe u should chase jash about it.. he's been pushing to get customers - this could be a good test?

    • 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.
