I don't think you have 200rwkw if your getting 2.1sec 60ft times and only running 13.9 ET...
Their is an absolute sh1tload more to it than just "power = xyz ET". 60ft, midrange vs topend, quickness of gear shifts, track conditions are just to name a few.

An example would be last week I raced against an SAU member in identical cars whom I believe has about 50hp more than my car yet I was doing 4mph quicker TS than him, but he had a 0.2sec quicker ET. Using your theory he should have a higher TS than myself but the reality was he was nailing his gear shifts where as I was having difficulty.

Anyone that thinks 1/4 mile racing is as simple as dropping a clutch and putting your foot on the throttle for 400m is kidding themselves.

as an example I ran 13.7 ET with a 60ft of 2.4 and I have about 200rwkw with similar mods to yours...

leads me to my next question what was your MPH?... as I reckon 2.1 ain't that bad with street tyres and should be good for low 13s ET

god damn it....dont people READ these days ????????????????

I said it was a happy dyno......and im doubtful of that figure myself...

Sorry....I know your just trying to help but sick of people repeating the same shit over and over again...

hahhaha and john....your more than welcome to try driving my car.....but you bend it you mend it.

Guarantee you wont be able to break 14s..... :tongue:

There is obviously more to drag racing than just the car or just a power figure.

Why else would Paul and Stacey be 1 full second apart in the same car?

Why did I get 13.8 with 189rwkw and 13.5 with 228rwkw?

Why did Brenden - ECR033 - get a 12 with 200rwkw? Sam got one at that power too from memory.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      It's almost certainly a reluctor generating an "AC" waveform. No, ECUs don't generally read those - they're usually set up for PWM square wave 0-5v stuff.

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.
