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.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
