A great night, thanks a lot to the organisers for the cheap dyno run and the free ignition DVD's and redbull :(

The dis-organisation of the event was a little frustrating, I was down as the 3rd person to run and ended up about 20th or so, and I got to the front and had to let 2 feature cars go before me!

Was I the only one with stock turbo's on an R33 GTR? I want to compare dyno graphs with other people who are not running lots of mods on there GTR's (r32/r33/r34) :huh:

Anyway, I might be back to RE to get a PowerFC and a tune to Australian fuel, not the Japanese tune I have :(

Oh, does anyone know how accurate the boost measurement was from the dyno? It says constant 10PSI but my HKS EVC IV says low of 0.9bar high of 1.0 bar (14.7PSI).

Yeh i spoke to you for a bit out the front about this while you were waiting to get onto the dyno, What did your car end up making? I was waiting out the front in line when your car went on. I get my power fc tuned at RE and find the boost reading to be very accurate there. If anything I'd say your hks unit is reading incorrectly as opposed to the man pressure on the dyno. Might be a stupid question but you sure the graph your looking at is boost and not afr's? that might explain it.

Ahh yes I remember, thats when I put myself in the line properly to prevent the queue jumpers getting past me :banana:

Hmm, well its possible the HKS is set incorrectly, does anyone know if it keeps its settings after complete power loss? They killed the battery after importing took errr >5months. And it *thinks* it has a low setting of 0.9 and high of 1.0.

But I don't know if its been through its "learning" mode for aligning the boost correctly.

I'm just reading the "psi" line on the dyno graph I got.

156.6 AWKW, aftermarket exhaust (not sure if its turbo back), greddy radiator, boost controller, mines ecu (Japanese tune!), and various mods to diff / suspension mods. It had pods which I removed and its running a compliance cat and compliance air filter.

I'll definitely speak to Ray or RacePace next month or the month after when I have some $$$ to spend on something like a PowerFC.

The turbo's would appear to be stock, or they were set to run very low boost.

Apologies for hi-jacking the thread, but is there an easy way to confirm that I have stock turbo's? Compliance advised its not possible to do this without removing the engine or similar.

Regards,

Gareth

Yep absolutely massive turnout! easy 100 cars there ( 50 of them skylines lol) , there were even cars parked all the way around the corner on the main rd!

Great that there were no police/defect troubles.. but i its guess because everyone behaved themselves.

Was a little disorganised with the line of cars waiting to run, which inevitable blocked my car from leaving at 10.30 pm. but overall great event.

Powerwise they sound like stock turbo's, do you know what afr's the car is running? I'd say your hks unit is incorrect as you would be making much more power on 1 bar.

and yeh power fc + 1 bar or boost and full exhaust without that restrictive compliance cat and you'll be laughing. :angry:

I don't know the AFR's. Yes, could be stock turbo's, I'm just been overoptimistic and hoping they're high flowed or something :angry:.

I mean the guy did everything but the *engine* mods from what I can see (compliance said it was one of the most modified car they had ever seen as far as mods go but I don't know if that was true or not).

Thanks for the info. The HKS unit probably has incorrect settings, there is a steering-mounted boost gauge but its hard to watch and there's no where on the street where I can reach full boost without it counting as "hooning".

some_cs_student what did you get on the dyno ?? i got a stock 33 gtr also, just has catbak / 14psi.. i didnt go on the dyno though sad.gif i left early.

156.6 AWKW, I got there at 7:45, it was so busy when I got there, I had a great night!

Great night with an even greater turnout...

I was really surprised with my car... ...I didn't think I'd get anywhere near 120kW... ...But I got 148.3kW... \m/ =^_^= \m/

But then today I was looking around on Wikipedia and it says that stock it should be higher... (-_-)

""ECR33 GTS25T - 2.5 L RB25DET DOHC turbo I6, 250 PS (184 kW, 294 N m)""

As this is the first time I've had my car on a dyno... ...I think I need to be educamated some more...

184kw is at the flywheel....which is why in general an R33 GTS-T makes like 130-140rwkw stock...

Ahh... ...Kewl... ...Thanks for that...

I think I might set a goal of 200kW by the end of the year... ...I have no idea how to get there or the cash I'll need...

I like settings goals... ...setting them... ...completing them is another thing... (:banana:)

It was a great night.

Good meeting majority of the SAU crew.

The reason the cops didn't give anyone a hard time was because they where involved in the planning of the event every step of the way. They came down to wave the flag, have a chat to myself and Ray to ensure that everyone would behave and in kind they would let us be and enjoy doing what we do.

Great turnout, great cars and be sure to get down to the next one in a few months time!

More purple... ...with stars on the hind quarters...

And the Decepticon logo on the tail...

All of which I'm now thinking of changing... ...to I don't know what...

      By Butters · Posted

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
