I hate how geoff risbey takes absolutely no responsibility.

but he's charging for the service of selecting a good car.

that line he uses about "additional inforation can be made available for interested buyers, but please be specific about what you would like to know" is horse shit. You pay him, he's supposed to tell you what you need to know to make an informed purchase.

stupid snapperhead!

my front bar has seen better days..... unfortunately after repetetive hits its starting to develop small fractures, so I need those fixed plus where I had the nismo badge ( which was recently lost ) that will need to be smoothed out , the rear needs to also be smoothed out where a hacksaw was used for the install of the FMIC and I would like a respray to get rid of all those nasty little white chips I have collected..

im pretty lucky cos i dont have that many white chips :) the stones seem to hit the grill bit (where intercooler one day is too sit) .... and the bottom of the grill has become unstuck and needs to be reglued down.

i need to get the packaging tape sticky off where i went a bit over excited with it on the rear - looks like im going to have to replace that GTS25T badge on the back too :)

hehe dont even get me started on on my bent fins from stone chips!!!! :)

yeah its frustrating isnt it, having to spend quite a few dollars on the car and not really getting anything for it.... if you know what I mean... like after I get my car serviced and the bumper fixed , its going to look and drive like it did before but I am out of pocket alot.... just think of what that money could have done if spent on other mods :)

i know :) i know :) .... bloody 3K on tyres and suspension since i got it ...... another 1K on servicing :) ...... 4K that wouldve been FMIC and Zorst money with probably enough left over for an EBC ..... make me angry!

oh well not much of a choice haha ..... ive basically done all i can mechanically so i think it decided to chuck its wing off just to fustrate me :) .... my car is evil tell ya .... i think its a girl cos it can be a total bitch sometimes

Sorry Dan I have no idea on the cost for that???

Niz.... I hadent heard.... does that mean you have no brakes at all or are they just performing very badly????

Mine could probably get away with a good machine but I think I would rather have a good set of slotted DBA's.... brakes are something I want to have the best in....

it snapped completely thru but sat on the caliper in such a way the fluid didnt leak much and still go through ........ apparently im a vERY lucky girl. specially the way i tend to drive!!

haha try 170km lately been really nauti!! gotta straighten up or im going lose my license!!

yeah Alex i know - but i kinda someone that likes to have enough money cos for some reason things start to get complicated with my car .... e.g brake pades .... then next thing i know i need the lines replaced as well ....

    • 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...
