Maybe it would be good to throw your car on the new UAS dyno very soon, then have this installed and get it dyno'd again on the SAU Dyno day coming up soon?

I hope everyone realises that some dynos see a lower rotating inertia for the drivetrain & erroneously accredit the quicker ramp up of the system to there being more horsepower. ie put in your tailshaft & the dyno will show a gain in horsepower that is not really there.

Which is not to say that lower weight/inertia is not a very good thing in itself. :huh:

Would it not show that it revs quicker?

Well out in the world, yes. But on the dyno it is different. As I understand it (Read, probably don't) the inertia of the dyno mechanism needs to be taken into account when the power figures are worked out. Now the dyno somehow needs to differentiate this inertia from the cars drivetrain inertia. So what I am trying to say is that if you lessen the cars drivetrain inertia it will accelerate faster (Without any extra horsepower) but if the inertia figure in the dyno for the car doesn't get changed it "sees" it as more horsepower.

Now my head hurts. :huh:

Too technical for your own good. A dyno is going to be more accurate than my butt dyno but I am not one for figures and dynos in general so may not bother at all with the dyno. No point at all to me... more keen to see what the car feels like now on Eastern Creek.

Ok well this is killing me.. I've been sitting back watching this thread - keen to see an outcome.. Now I'm all teased and tetchy..

Justin? How the hell is it going?? Is it in yet??? :)

....I really want to see if one of these is worth it.

I think the owner would be hanging out more

But yeah i would like to hear a report when she is painted

justinfox: did you end up getting the pulley kit? with these types of mods wouldn't you be looking at 1/10ths of a second improvements? or am i way off the mark and it basically all comes down to improving the driveability?

Yes I have the pulley kit.

I'm on a mission to save weight. Car is super responsive already, even better response from the pulley kit + shaft will be a bonus but weight savings are my main focus. The shaft + pulleys are half the weight of the original items.

few quick questions RE: pulley kit.

i would say your car is an exception to most other regular street cars.

first of all, would you recommend it for the average skyline daily driver/street car?

second of all, what were the gains like? any negatives?

lastly, cost? (UAS $430 for R32GTST... no R33)

Car is in the paint shop and I've not yet tracked it since the pulley kit so bare with me! I'll be sure to report back.

PS: My car really isn't a street car. It's much more of a circuit car. It is street registered and fully engineered but it's damn hard to drive on the street. UAS prices are about right but I get all my gear through www.jdmyard.com prices I can't mention as I work for them and get special rates. Hope that helps!

Were you advised to protect the driveshaft (when it is in the car) in anyway or does the driveshaft already have some sort of protection over the CF section?

I have been told that CF tailshaft don't like scratches and dings.

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
