Might as well chuck mine into the mix... 187rwkw. Manual car.

Current mods:

HKS turbo back 3" exhaust - Silent Hi-power

X-Force 3" Cat

Hybrid FMIC

HKS POD

Cold air box

Power FC

Greddy Profec B-spec II

NGK Plugs @ 0.8

Running 12psi, moderate tune.

Mods to come to break well into the 200's:

HKS GT2835 ProS

Tomei poncams

Walbro Fuel pump

550cc+ injectors

Plazmaman plenum

Splitfire coilpack

Z32 AFM

Prior to all that it was running at 158rwkw. Same as yours. Dyno Dynamics dyno.

187rwkw WITH power fc? bit low isn't it?

anyways, it's pretty easy to work out. Take an average of 150rwkw for a GTT, that's a 28% drive train loss from the fly-wheel.

My aim is 300kw at the fly, giving me about a 215rwkw target, give or take.

So just do ~30% drive train loss. This does vary from car to car

I have some misfiring issues that are still being worked out, hence the new coilpack etc to come. Half the time she's running on 5 cylinders. Also a bit suss on the history of the car.

aaaahh dodgy coilpacks, all too common problem with the 34's unfortunately.

mine went, i got splitfires now. Not too major a problem and easily fixed. Have you tried the DIY solutions for it?

Coilpacks were a common problem for the GTT R34's is it? So i would expect some missfires to come after some mods too? Does anyone gap down plugs on R34's for misses?

Yes.

When the boost is increased.

Yes to 0.8 mm.

I thought we were almost at consensus that drivetrain losses are not are percentage, more of a certain amount of power for each car; ie the same number of kw no matter what the total power.

Evil34, is that your car in your avatar? If so do you have any more pics?

Coilpacks seem to be a problem with Skylines in general. I don't think I know a Skyline owner who hasn't had some sort of issue with misses.

Anyway, splitfires fix em up just fine. Price you pay for greatness.

I've got some money to pour into the car, so I am just going to bite the bullet and get it fixed permanently :P Along with the other mods I listed... needless to say I am looking forward to it.

Currently after a tune yesterday my car sits at 184 rwkw on .75 Bar.

My mods so far are:

Splitfire coil packs

Walbro fuel pump

Drift pod filter

Blitz front mount

3 inch turbo back exhaust

Platinum spark plugs gapped to 0.8

AVCR boost controller

They could not put anymore boost into the car due to the standard computer pulling timing and dumping fuel at any higher boost level.

I have the next round of mods sitting at home now ready to go in which are:

Power FC

550cc Injectors

Z32 airflow meter

just ran out of money to fit this stuff at the moment

Is this on Stock Turbo???? i'm about to get my PowerFC tuned..

158 is in the ball park. I'd say 145-155rwkw mark would be around what it would make.

I wanted to confirm if that's still correct because when you go to any automotive website like Supercheap auto for example, it only gives an option for an r34 gtt that has 206kw, which is same as a gtr r34 roughly. Makes no sense to me lol.

Manufacturers quote power at the engine, we quote power at the wheels, which will always be lower due to drivetrain losses.

The GTT's Neo actually did produce ~206kW at the flywheel.

The 34GTR's 26 really did not produce 206kW at the flywheel. By the time the 34 came around the 26 was likely up around 230-240 kW, and probably could have been more. The Japanese manufacturer's had an agreement to not sell any cars that made more than 206kW (actuall, their agreement was expressed in the stupid non-metric German ps units which is essentially horsepower, and the numerical value in the agreement was 280ps).

So Evos, Supras, GTRs, 3000GTs, and so on, all had official 206kW power outputs published, and all made variously larger numbers than that. Even the R32 GTR made a decent margin over the official number, all the way back in 1989. As you'd bloody well hope for a TT 2.6l 24v engine running ~12psi of boost.

The old "Gentleman's agreement". 

They all kept publishing that number to avoid government intervention.

They all kept pushing over it to be quicker than the other guy.

 

It's why I'll say it's smart the Gen4 Supra was more suited/targetted to taking on freeway runs, than taking on the GTR directly. Nissan and Yoda rivalry slightly more apart receiving a little less criticism compared to the Holden Vs Ford in the years gone by with the likes of the GTHO etc.

Ah Interesting to know.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
