Well I've already done the suspension but only half installed the new guages.

I'm replacing the ugly hose to the catch can today with a nice smooth black one.

Front bar goes back on and the rest of the dash after lunch.

Just organised all my insurance. Switched to Shannons for Comp and Allianz for CTP.

With any luck I'll be pink slipped this afternoon and registered late today or more likely tomorrow morning.

Small update.

I'm on hols so no big details or pics here but I have done the run in and put some more boost into it. Running 0.9 bar now.

The mid range feels so strong now I hardly go near the redline. I can't wait until I can put some more boost in and rev it up.

I notice the slightly different sounds of the pistons. I now understand what people say about forged piston noise. It's only just noticeable and only because I know my car.

The cams have made the car a little wobbly on start up and given it a slightly lumpy idle. When cold the idle is quite erratic but once warmed up it's just a slight lope. It definitely sounds beastier now.

More updates to come.

just curious about some 52mm boost, exhaust gas and oil temp guages for the standard guage pod.

I would like anyone who pulls apart their gauge pod to measure and measure and measure to see what fits in there.

Check out what I just found.

Defi gauges behind the standard pod.

I've never found this before, so now I'm happy!

also, some other general photos of R34 interiors. Check out that shifter!!!

Pete,

* The internal diameter of the stock GTT guage holes is 60mm

* Defi BF guages (amber or white dial) are only available in 60mm

Therefore the Defi BF (60mm) gauges will fit fine as you can see from the pics, but the bezel will be mounted outside the hole.

This pic shows Defi black 60mm gauges (not BF) fitted.

    • 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.
