Hi

I just bought my 1st R32 and it doesnt have a battery clamp.

Can I just buy one of those in supercrap stores? I cant find any holes on the tray to poke the L shape clamps you get from supercrap.

Better if anyones here in Brisbane got a spare battery clamp.

Also when I 1st start the car it kinda wants to stall straight away unless I press the pedal once to get the rev up and it idles fine...

When I had a look at the car it wasnt doing this, but the battery was flat as it was sitting for a while. So the previous owner bought a cheap battery to replace it.

Could it be cos of the el cheapo battery couldnt handle 1st starts?

Also the light switch behind the gear stick one is for the lower inner light on the front bar and when you press is towards the back which light should be on? cos nothing is coming on.... is that for the outside light on the front bar?

Thanks

You could just drill holes to get the L shape stick to hook up, I have a spare factory L shape thing but can't find the actual metal bar thats goes over the battery.

some pic of that light switch might help, bit hard to remember what's what without access to r32 now :)

Try getting a quote from nissan for interests sake. Might have to come from japan, takes 10 days. Ive attached a pic of the bracket and its part number from fast. Alternatively, try contacting nisswreck or any other imports wrecker. Or nissan silvia seeing as they use skyline front cuts in their sils.

I dont think u need over 400CCA to crank it up, 350 should be enuff. But that said some CCA of certain batteries are overrated or underrated. My deka etx30l is rated 365CCA, but when we tested it, its actually doing 470CCA.

      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...
