hey guys im doing my HSC now as well, wish you guys the best of luck. though its off topic i was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to buy used cars. my parents are really fobby so no help there, and im going to check out some r33's in november. basically i wanted to know about rego and how long the buying process takes. my mum said 2 months so i don't believe her. GRK since we're sorta similar could you give me some advice on how to go about it.

   thanks

Hehe yeahh pretty similar we are.. the buying process can take about couple of weeks not a couple of months.. your mum is just trying to turn you off buying a car trust me, my mum would do the same but it's not workin lol.. Rego for me on an R32 GTR will cost about $600 i think not positive, the owner will know what to do and would tell you how to do it, if not do it himself to put the rego into your name if it comes with it already.. But yeah if you have the money for the car then you can have the car within 2 weeks.

P.S. Before you buy the car get it inspected!! and if you can get the engine compression tested at a performance workshop?? to make sure everything is running good and it wont blow on you!!

Hehe, insurance at our age will always be expensive unless your dad owns an insurance company lol.. but aparts from that for my insurance i'll be paying about $4000-$4,500, but it's worth it because if you really want a turbo car then you have to be prepared to pay otherwise your not gonna be happy especially with petrol prices soaring but none of that is going to stop me getting my dream car.

thats expensive. just cars quoted me 3.5k. i posted in the general section too and someone said that red p platers can't buy turbos. is that true?

For me it's not that expensive considering i want a GTR, only because idiots on the road make the insurance go higher because of their constant accidents and insurance jobs that they do, and i know one of them.

No that is not true, if you got your license before July 11th then you can drive turbo and have no restrictions but if you got your license after that date then your restricted to no turbo and some other types of cars. I got my Ps in very late january and i'm all fine, no restrictions what so ever :(.

nope thats wrong.. new P platers CAN buy turbos and v8s BUT they cannot DRIVE it. Hence insurance wont insure new P platers... As they cant legally drive the car.

Then again whats the point in buying a turbo car when u cant drive it. :(

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      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...
