Adam 32 i was using this as a guideline to power to weight ratio like steve & Rev 210 pointed out maybe the dyno's/ operators are wrong cause 270 rwhp in a skyline should run at least 110mph or better if it is making this power seeing as the 300TT is heavier yet makes similar power & has run this mph! And refering to this bullshit mate's Zed did run this time there were at least 5 or 6 members from www.drivelinechatter.com @ willowbank plus 5 or 6 of us from Roma that witnessed the runs of TTZ32 & from memory he provided the timeslips on the forum as proof! Just because your mates ZXTT with a millonbucks spent on it is slow doesn't mean that someone else who has spent approx$2000 can't equal him! Subzero even ran a high 12 from memory with a R33 with similar mods to TTZ32 so there is the proof that it is possible! Actually while on the subject TTZ32 is listed on HPI's drag ladder as well! By the way how fast or slow? is your 32?

I've spoken to a few people about the boost dropping from 12psi to 9psi when the valve timing kicks in and they are suggesting possible boost cut from the stock ecu. Any thoughts? Might have go a power fc sooner than I thought. I was thinking haltech, but I'm starting to get pretty happy with my power output and I think the haltech might be an overkill if I'm chasing say 350hp @ wheels.

rob77,

I don't think it would be boost cut, the dyno reads boost at 20samples/sec and so we would see the spike in the boost if that happened, I can't imagine that it would have suddenly jumped to the boost cut without it being obvious. You'll need to do the dump anyway, and I'm pretty sure this could solve your boost issue aswell.

See'ya:burnout:

Not a boost cut.

Don't use a Haltech on a GTS or you will end up with IGN

problems, I have other shops GTSs in with this often inc

now. Use an ECU with Sequential ING drivers like the power FC

or Wolf Plug ins. People are going to say this is not true

but come down and see their customers cars in my shop.

The wide body R33 of Nicks has been in for many coils

as the E6K cooks them.

We have fitted other ECUs under warranty because of this problem and only sell Haltechs on demand now.

The E11 may have this sorted but at a cost.

its about 270hp. We're not sure why the dyno read that figure, it was a crazy figure considering what was done to the car at the time. A supra also pulled an odd figure too and everyone else on the day seemed to pull normal figures.

Rob, what do you feel would be an estimate of the cars power if not 270rwhp?

Not sure... I havent been in any other cars that have simular horsepower. The 235hp @ sst's dyno seems about right... who knows? Dyno's are best used to see gains after mods I think... going from my last 1/4 mile effort 235hp seems more in tune, but I'm sure I can get well into the 13's now on the right track.

Robs right Dynos are a tool only and as his car went on my dyno

as a total stocky and then with the new Exhaust so it was a good test for all the new work done and recorded a good gain and proved the worth of his outlay,Dynos job done now of to the Plex!

Don't race Dynos.

The yellow R34 GTS at the plex a few weeks ago recorded 13.5s

with robs power( on my Dyno) on huge street tyres.

The Power weight calculator Per4manz turbos have claims 13.3

should have been possible but slicks would have it on the money.

George Kontorinis Toyota made 522rwhp (3200lbs) and the

calculator claimed 9.16 and the car ran 9.2 and Miss P iggys

rail ran 8.88@148mph with 290rwhp and 1300lbs the calc was

spot on, lots of other cars to have been run this way so i feel

confedent in my readings but still recommend track testing.

13.3 1/4 mile hey... hmmm. I feel confident I can run at least a mid 13, maybe 13.7... dunno about the 13.3 :) See how I go on the 15th :( Who else is going to the drags then, should be a good time to go as the track is meant to be fully prep'd, meaning for some quick times. Munro was going to try and bring his GTR from adelaide, but I havent heard how its going lately at last mention he couldnt make it as the plex wouldnt offer any discounts for us to see a 9 second car :D

I might have to use a dyno shortly to do a quick setup of the S-afc II before the drag wars thing. I am going over seas and get back only just in time for the event and thus far I have had no chance to properly sort the new timing and fuel settings after the Cam gear install.

And sorry to rob for hijacking & talking BS! But as i said in my earlier posts, i was just using a car that i know its weight as it has been on a weighbridge, i was at Cramers dyno in Toowoomba when it got dynoed & i was there the night it ran the 12sec 1/4 times!

mod: i sent u a pm on how to post a link

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
