Hey guys, for all the power hungry ppl out there, i was wondering how it feels to have skylines that pull above the 700-800nm torque range???, after all it is seat of pants that is the human torqueometer isnt it lol!!!Ive only midly modded my 25t and i still feel the need for more power, but does it ever get unnerving when you get to such high power outputs???, or is it always the same........still feel the need for more hahah

just a general chat question lol bored!

good post

im about 200rwkw, and its probably too much for just a street car

just a quick blip and you are pretty much over the speed limit

theres not many roads around where u can enjoy the power without exceeding the speed limit

id love to make more power if i hit the track, but as my line is our daily driver and it needs to be on the road, it probably will never happen

i wont be powering her up anymore i dont think

Its like money nsta, when ur poor u say if i had 10 million dollars i would give half of it to all my mates and i would never work again. However the more u have the more u want, more and more and more... Its like a game, a sick game, a sick addiction, it becomes an obsession until it devours you... or until u wrap urself around a pole (God forbid)

250rwkw i reckon would be enough for me btw.

hahahah, i so know the feeling, ive got a 25t and am still wondering what the limits are with these cars before traction becomes an issue lol, im at around 180rwkw with basic mods and it seems to hold my 265 rubber atm.

Umm, how much torque do you guys produce at around 250-300rwkw?

Got 230rwkw.Good tyres suspension and driving will usually be the limiting factor.400rwkw in the wrong hands will definately be the limit.200rwkw with a highly skilled driver would do more.Some track days and quality tyres and brake pads and 250rwkw should be just about perfect. :P

i would say depends on choice of racing, street, track or drags. circuits & street i think you can definately have too much power.

drags i reckon you can never have to much power!

circuit i reckon depends on skill and track but for me high 300 kw's @ 4wheels :P is more than enough and other factors start playing an important part eg brakes and handling just to keep it pointing in the right direction.

street i would reckon no more than 300 for safety sake

cheers russ

For my street car, when I can't put it down in the dry with a decent set of streetable tyres, then I'll have too much power.

If I were to build a track car, when I can't put the power down in the dry with a set of full slicks then I'll have too much power.

Right now, I'm going to guesstimate 300rwkW will be about the maximum I'd want in my street car. Especially if I can shift my power curve higher up in the rev range. Otherwise, I'd be happy with around 250rwkW. I should still be able to floor it out of 3rd gear corners without wheelspinning at that level.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
