Thanks micko

Ken - yeah its been a big secret from me. Dad got it for us for the wedding present. I totally wasn't expecting it. Me and drew were going to save up and go later in the year. We are going to thailand. I would have been happy going to margs for the weekend!

No, not the dumps, the pipes between them & the cat that go from 2 to 1.

If your front pipes end just rearward of the gearbox mount then that is about std.

Are you sure the ones he has are not replacing the cat at the same time.

Cheers

So have you gone yet ??

Hmmm...good point Ken, could be complete cat replacement.

Either way I'm not gonna spend over 300 bucks on them cos I don't reckon they will fit.

People keep telling me that I should get a small gain in power & better throttle response by repllacing them - been told the first metre of your exhaust is the most important.

kyles - well my parents are separated... so mum couldn't afford much. She helped a little, which I so appreciated. My dad paid for the reception... but he's a pilot so he can afford it and he owes something to me. But drew and I have put off buying new clothes etc stuff for the house for over a year saving to pay for the wedding hahaha ohhh there are so many shoes I want to buy

Yea but the first meter includes the dumps off the back of the turbos which is where your biggest gain will come from.

    • 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...
