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

    • Hmm makes things tricky then.  I can't in good faith say, go forth my child and weld in whatever metal you remove in your quest for rust. I very strongly expect that adventure will end in sadness.  But you can't leave the car as it is, you literally have a hole in the roof. Also, I know you think the rust doesn't go much further, but the more I look at those photos, I really think the rust does in fact go much much further.  If you are 100% committed to being the only person working on the car.... stop where you are, hit it with rust converter, fiberglass, body filler, paint work, pretend you never discovered the rust in the first place?  Even if the body was repaired, painting the roof is a pain. Were you planning to use rattle cans to paint the roof?
    • Ok so I will not defend my naivety. I regularly feel like things look easier than they are.  As much as I'd love to, buying another vehicle is out of the question. It was hard to get this car through the family process and we just don't have the room.
    • If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.   
    • I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.
    • Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding?
