Drive line loss is going to be greater in the GT-R and the power weight ratio would come into play but its hard to quantify as the AWD has such an advantage of the line especially in street trim-check out the drag times, specifically the 60 footers. I'm sure someone will have a go at this one but if I had a GTST and wanted to keep up with a GT-R I'd get Roy to drive it. See the youtube videos for driving tips. :laugh:

I did the double in my 32 GTS4 (RB20DET). It had 145 rwkw and 115 awkw.

Using that as a comparison, I'm guessing that a 230 awkw GT-R would have something approaching 300 rwkw.

did you do the 'double' on the same dyno? ie drop driveshaft after awd run and test again on same dyno, same settings etc

just that, in general, there ISNT that much of a drop between rwd and awd.

somewhere between 5 and 10% difference is more like it, taking into account drivetrain loss

other people to test back to back have found results more like 220rwk to 205awkw

In my mind, a 230awkw gtr would put out around 250rwkw with the front driveshaft dropped

The question asked is so impossible to answer it makes this thread pointless.

Every set up is different, power delivery, traction and so on.

As for awkw - rwkw, bugger all difference. People have tested it here before, nothing major to note down as a GTR isnt full time 4WD

so if my gtr is 300kws at the rears you would say it would be near enough 300kws all round?

Actually this could be guite a good thread if some decent information comes up.

I'm sure i'm not the only gtst driver that is thinkin bout the R upgrade, but is not 100%

its a hard choice after dropping 15k odd in mods and having an awesome street car...

*returns after some very BASIC maths type stuff*

ok so on a strictly power to weight ratio...

a 230awkw 33 gtr is around 250rwkw and weighs around 1.55ton which gives it a power to weight of 161kw/ton

to match this power ratio a 33 gtst weighing around 1.35 ton will need only 220rwkw to make 162kw/ton

this of course does not include any of the factors that make gtr's superior cars... Just power to weight

I have just made that decision... had a 33 gtst and added up all the things i wanted to do to it etc and it ran nearly to 9000 so instead sold the 33 for 18000 just the other day and have saved the 9000 so looking now for a gtr 33 for around 30000....

GTR badge reali draws me!! lol

Power to weight has ALOT to do with it, but then again so does torque (specifically for straight line race). Its simple maths really when neglecting things like traction, driver differences, and other similar factors. But then torque comes into it, but there isnt realy a way to factor this in fairly. Fact be it tho, torque generally will help immensely in a striaght line.

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
