if i remember, i'll bring down my laptop and conZult cable... only ever used it on my zed but i think it can hook up to the consult port on any skyline upto 33 series 1 (i think it works on the pre '95 ODB1 cars, won't work on ODB2) so if anyone wants error codes checked before they hit the dyno i can probz do that (until the battery runs out). I'll only be there in the morning though, can't stay for the whole day.

Hmm, I have a stock-ish R33 GTR, exhaust system, compliance cat, mines ECU, HKS EVC boost controller, compliance air filter. The car was running 10psi and I got 156.6AWKW.

So is my car not making enough power....some people have said it sounds roughly correct?

I will be making some more mods next month for more power :rofl:

compliance cat / compliance air filter..? Does that mean these items cause restrictions to the air flow?

Factory Stock GTR boost is 0.5 Bar = 7.2 Psi and I believe the brass boost restrictor has been removed for a SAFE Factor Boost increase which takes it up to 0.7 Bar = 10.1 Psi.

As what Russman said, all dynos are different, temprature might have affected the perfomance, some ppl put a gigantic fan to feed air to the pods and have a fan to blow against the intercooler... It can all affect it. Iam guessing.

Well atleast you got the HKS Boost controller. Take it up another 1 or 2 bars and should give abit more power increase.

A member on this forum revhed01, he is running about 1.25 Bar = 18.1 Psi and he put it on a dyno and got about 280 AWKW. Also hes got N1 Turbos.

I think they make about 187.4 Kw at all wheels, thats if its about 20-25% power loss through the drivetrain. Ppl in Japan been getting around 243 Kw at the flywheel, probley here in AUS too!

Stock you talking like nothing, no pods, exhaust, nothing...

yeah i mean stock as a rock

the only thing it has is tein coilovers

and im sellin them anyways

:rofl:

stock... so we will see if its at your 187 or so figure...

The compliance cat is probably your biggest enemy. Generally they use the cheapest cat they can get and often they are not even new. Therefore the flow of the cat is probably less than factory one from Japan.

I know with mine the cat was like a 2" opening pipe and flange and as soon as I got rid of it power returned.

I'd say get a good cat or "customise" your cat if it's a good size, adn this should return the car to stock power.

Thats what I was thinking. Just get a new high flow cat or find a stock GTR one, thats if there are any that are still in good condition.

The mines ECU won't be helping either. Who knows what that thing has been set up to do.

True that!

Yes, looking at an X-force stainless steel high flow cat (around 700 cfm according to the manufacturer) not the $160 one from JustJap....

Also looking at PowerFC + tune, just need to ring around for a price of tuning, PowerFC is looking at between $950 and $980 from forum traders.

Sweet! with that high flow cat you will feel the difference and the car will run a lot smoother and you can feel the exhaust flow better.

Member on the forum Carizma / David might sell them...

HA! Autobarns probley got Apexi PowerFC. If not RE Customs, Kamikaze Motors and On The Run Motor Sports.

Actually I will likely be buying the cat from BOS importing. I'll give RE customs a call about purchase + tune on Monday.

Just measured the exhaust, 10.5 inches circumference (HKS super dragger), so roughly 3.3inches (so that would be a 3inch exhaust?)

Compliance cat, 8.5 inches circumference at the start of it, or 2.7inches, so probably a 2.5inch compliance cat....

I quickly scanned thru these pages but didn't see anything at first glance...do you have to register to run the car on the dyno or is it just rock up and wait?

Mate just come down and say hi

I'll be in a sau Top Ask for mav. Once you have paid and i'll hand out a numbered ticket and that will be the order in which the runs will take place :laugh:

Catch ya there...

Hey Mav.

Will I be able to run my commodore and my skyline if I get there early then drive home and bring the other car? I'm interested to see what both cars make.

So i can pay for my SAU vic membership and then get 3 dyno runs for $40? or will it still be $60? lol im curious about my power it will be embarrassing though with my auto n/a with a crowd :'(

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
