awesome results and as said above eddy tasone was previously a big figure in drag racing in WA and he was running 9s on a N/A 383 stroker years ago (low 9's i think from memory) in his slr torana.

then the vh ran 8.1 or so and this thing is obviously abit of a dyno car rather than an out and out drag car.

why does everyone have to hang shit on any figures that come up with lame comments like "its only making .... hp, etc etc.

where is all these keyboard warriors dyno graphs? if u aint got something remotely close to that then how can u say it only made X amount of power?

all i can say is good work active automotive :D

You need to get yourself over to the 5 pager on Street Commodores where you will see the official response from Dyno Dynamics and what the actual result was +/- 10%.

Where's your dyno graph by the way?

GO EDDY!

I am known as DARE U on the Street Commodores site, you will find several posts by me on there, that is pretty much where I got the info (and the pics) for this post.

There is a report on the dyno dynamics website in regards to this, until yesterday, they thought it was a new record, and they don't make any attempt to estimate what the figure should have been, so I am not sure where "Do It Again" on the SC forum got his info from. Here is the link for the official Dyno Dynamics response http://www.dyno.com.au/news.htm#june01_Altomak

And I agree, world record or not, it is still a valiant effort for a car that is not tuned on an incomplete run. Good luck to him, I hope he does back up his figure and breaks the record.

Because they barely had time to build the motor after cracking the block on the old one.

That's right, they cracked the block on the old motor, and the new one was only put together a day or two before the event. I just heard that Eddy will be running the car again probably today or tomorrow to "see where it's at".

An interesting point though, is the fact that the power run was cut short by 1500rpm because the twin-retarder dyno was maxed out and displaying an error message. That didn't happen with Brett Waines 1470rwhp run, and no one seems to be able to say what the limit for the dyno is, but it stopped at an indicated 1895.9hp.

Does that one have to be pluged into a power point to get the electricity necessary to run it? The alternator doesn't have sufficient output to run the fuel pumps, igntion etc so it needs to be plugged into 240 volts to run.

:whistling: cheers :laugh:

PS; How can it be a World Record when I saw a supercharged big block door slammer make 2500+ hp on hub dyno is Las Vegas about 10 years ago?

ALWAYS something to say

Why is the inlet temp 230 degrees celsius?

This was explained before. The sensor failed during the second run causing it to go into open circuit mode and read 230 degrees. As a result a correction value of over 30% was applied. Meaning that the run was not a record, and should have been between 1300-1400hp. Still good for an untuned car on a run which was cut 1500rpm short. Apparently Eddy is going to tune the car and re-run it and go for the record again.

      Put a fuel pressure gauge on it. Replace the turbos. Probably completely separate issues.

      Recomended Coolant For Gt T R34

      By silviaz · Posted

      What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.

      Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
