so this cars actually engineered/mod permitted?

coz a yellow sticker would turn out absolutely expensive for you?

is top racing doing the tuning inhouse?

ps. do you know how much the clutch set you back?

seems to be recommended by alot of workshops here in WA

they did one in a vl before but using a r33 head. Its more of a drag car and pretty serious stuff. I think after doing my car them boys could do another with their eyes closed and upside down. And any doubts they had they made sure to take the extra precautions to ensure max reliability.

theres problems gettin the engine stared. Its only running on 2 cylinders. They pin pointed it dwn to a possible faulty hks ignition amplifer?? Even thou its brand new! And apparently its not the 1st unit they encountered with the same prob. So they goin 2 plug up the orignial harness n see. Has any1 heard of the same thing happing and could there also be another factor?

That's a very weird problem to have... my 2630 started first turn, was a little rattly for the first 5 seconds, then came to life like normal.

I HIGHLY doubt your HKS Twin Power is faulty unless you guys did a splice/dice wiring job - you just got the plug-in loom right?

My mates HKS ignitor failed pretty quickly on his SR, not when it was brand new though.

So you never know, could be a faulty ignitor.

Keep us updated, very interested to see how she goes.

brand new spitfires/plugs. Im sure they would of checked them 1st. I think it would b a process of elimination with the obvious first. U would think paying top dollar for brand name parts known the dam stuff bloody works to start of with

I'd have thought that they'd at least have made sure it fired up properly before calling you down for an inspection... but I know your pain after such a long time, I wasn't there when the car was first started up - but I had it streamed realtime onto the internet so I could watch at work :D

Thanking my lucky stars it all went as planned...

yep she's all fired up and running. Still very curious as to why its not starting with the hks amplifer thou. Something to look into down the track as its not needed now. Engine is very loud and cams are lumpy indeed which surprised everyone. Idle is just pure sex. Too paranoid to drive much as absolute cop magnent. Run in tune makes .8 bar at rev limit of 4k rpm. Not as laggy as expected. It is so drivable with the extra torque and clutch is so smooth. Would never know its rated 1000hp.

theres at least another 6wk waiting peroid for the haltech plug and plug to be released. Dont know weather i should just piggy back the standard ecu or go for another ecu all together. The tuner recommened the ems?

63k build and you were comtemplating an EMS... crazy. Nice build though, big fan of the NEO heads.

    • 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...
