Does anyone have details on how I can get my car in this comp if it is ready in time.

Although I'll be cutting it close to have the car ready (Ie. Engine will hopefully be ready Wed and in the car Wed night), if it is ready, I really wanna compete in the HP challenge.

Does anyone know if they'll be using a 2wd or 4wd so that I can either put the front shaft in or leave it out of the car.

Also, how are running times organised? Are you allocated a time on either day or is it along the lines of "Take a number and wait yr turn".

If the car is ready, I'll let someone know ASAP and organise me a little space for my car.

Any help would be appreciated.

James,

Thanks for the info. Please confirm that it is a 4wd dyno coz I don't wanna get there with the front shaft in there to find that it is a rwd dyno and I'll have to get under the car with a trolley jack and put the shaft off.

Also, what's the latest I can let you know whether I'm gonna make it. It's looking pretty good at the mo but we all know that things with cars can turn pear shaped very quickly.

INASNT, Power at this point is undecided. I don't wanna blow my engine again, but I'm willing to say that the figure will be as high as I can get it without blowing shite up.

Rajab unfortunately isn't around anymore and I'm not really gonna be in the dyno challenge to gauge how my car is compared to other GTRs in Vic or AU.

NSW Autosalon's winner had 456rkwk and NZ had 380rwkw.

I'm interested as these were measured in RWKW and not @ all 4 wheels which means that if I compete with VLs and the like, they'll have an advantage due to less drivetrain loss.

Quite true but it ain't a 6 cylinder car and it certainly ain't a GTR which I'm comparing myself to.

Also, my car is still driven on the road and raced. How many other cars do you know with stupid HP do the same?

What I really need to know though is whether anyone can confirm this is gonna be a 4wd or 2wd dyno.

As for being able afford to fixing it all the time, I think not.... :D

    • Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-
    • Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
    • Damn you’ve done well, definitely snapping necks.
    • Great weekend and event. Open fire at the caravan park, perfect weather all day and a great feed and a couple of drinks at at awesome country pub.
