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.

    • Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.
    • Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.
    • Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win? 
    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
