some R33s are just a freak like mine. just has POD filter and 3.25'' exhaust and pulls away from other 33s with the same mods. and it keeps up with other cars who say they usualy beat 33s by a fair bit. kept p with a couple of 32 GTRs and beaten late model WRX STis. putting it on the dyno next month gona see what is gets. some have had a stab at the 250 RWHP mark.

Yeah it's strange (to me) that most stocks with 3" exhausts & POD are getting round the 240-250rwhp! I only got 202rwhp with those mods! that was before I put a dump pipe in, haven't checked the power difference since. Wouldn't be that much higher would it??

remember dynos are a tuning tool, all are different.

i wouldnt worry too much about the power output, as long as it makes gains when u do mod it, then its ok.

if u want to check the performance, take it to the strip/track and test your skills, and the ability of the car.

True, but I would've thought bringing it to the same place, Hyperdrive, and being the same dyno as the other guys with higher figures, it would've been similar with the similar mods?

I have a broken record to play for you.

Peak values mean nothing...peak values mean nothing...peak values mean nothing...

Now you can certainly have a look at the shape of the graph you have and compare it to others and this can very often give a few clues to an issue you may have. Start a new thread and post a graph or two on the forced induction bit maybe?

Perhaps sucking in hot air with your unsheilded pod is not doing you favours?

I dont no pulp 40rwhp is abit wat is the state of service of your 4door magna (jokes) who services it and who tunes it and how long have you had the whale

lads could people have had the stock turbo upgraded from new by nissan like an n1 turbo cause that might explane the different dyno results

stock 205-210 mayby or 250-260 n1 rwhps

Miller the Hoon,

my old R33 gtst with just the exhaust got about 200rwhp at some dyno day thing but, basically ran a 13.8 so who the hell cares?

Comparing dyno peak values is like comparing used toilet paper....it's all crap. Can I put it any stronger than that?

Gee I don't know if I should be replying to this post! :P

Like whales, a ride like this is rare to find! (and don't say anything about being almost extinct!)

I get my servicing and tune done at Hyperdrive. But as Rev210 puts it, the dyno results aren't something you can go on.

I spose I just want to better my time of 14.8, and the fact that I've got 3" turbo back etc like other R33s that pull in the high 13s etc makes me wonder what it is that's the prob. (besides the whale factor)

I did have suspension and alignment problems (real bad apparently) and they have all been recently fixed, so I don't know if that would effect times??

All this and we still have no Idea how a stockish 33 made such good HP.. Even if peak power figures aren't that good a measure.

Has anyone found out anymore info about this 33 and whether it was stock turbo, possibly different internals??

Yeah i am on the case, so busy with work at the mo. Gotta convince my mate to let me rip it all apart so i can check it out.....he is more like "who gives a f%&K as long as it hauls ass" gotta say im starting to agree there.

Will try get some pics soon to.

Definitely. As long as it's tuned ok I wouldn't be stripping it down to prove something to a buch of people on some forums... :sweat:

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
