Luke we are not having a go at you or anything like that man

I just seriously believe these ppl know jack shit about cars (PMR33 will back me up there ) and if you are not happy get a second opinion as to why the car is down on power

If you are happy then good they did a good job for you

Well what else could be the problem if it is down on power???

I have been told everything is Sweet in the car by the mechanic! He said its one of the better GTR's he has ever seen in the shop!

So if there is someone out there that can tell me what else it is thats causing crap power apart from everything that has been checked, cause i will be listening!!

And can some one please tell me the RWKW's on a R32 GTR STOCK Straight out of the Factory back in the 90's!!!

I think someone needs to tell me what the Factory Rear Wheel KW's of a 32 GTR if it was taken straight from the factory floor and put on a DYNO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Claimed factory 206KW's

Actual figures 240KW's

This is at the fly-wheel I am assuming...correct me any one if I am wrong

Loss of power through the drive train etc.......brings you to around 160 kw at the rears...or 140 AWKW.

Wear and tear through age and carbon build up in your exhaust ie pipes,cat and rear muffler

combined with bad oils in your engine/diff/gear box can cause more than a 30% loss in power delivered to the ground.

The figures you stated earlier in this topic...the before figures confirm this.

The figures you got after PFC install and tune bought your power delivery back up to well over a stock motor(new).

Thinking again about your mods.....

I am suspecting your muffler may have a large build up of carbon.

Check your rear muffler.

If it is stock...get it re-conditioned.

Do not get a cannon.

Well it came with a Sheep Dog Exhaust when i Bought it but i did swap it with a Turbosmart Cannon about 2 Years ago. I liked the Look of a Cannon Rather then the oval style with the 3 Inch tip!!!

Still got it though!!!

This is a pic of the exact item!! (Not my pic though)

Loss thru 4wd drive train isn't anywhere near that high, i've seen a few ppl that have done back to back test 2wd vs 4wd on GTRs, lucky to be 10kW difference.

Besides this was already covered early on in the post.

Keep that if it is original...

The mufflers are very hard to find..I should know...have been looking for a GTR33 one for ages.

Luke.......if you have a chance to give it a run in a 1/4 mile drag...pm me your times.....

Just don't fry your clutch to much though....this will be your next mod if you do.

oh i don't think its a Factory Original!!! Just original on it when i bought it 6 years ago!!!

Pretty sure standard R32 RB26's make about 160-170rwkw as standard RB25's make about 130-140rwkw, obviously depending on dyno and in what condition the motor is in. All i know is from knowing quite a few ppl with similar mods on RB26's up here they make about 220-230rwkw with a Power FC, bit more boost and taking out major restrictions such as the exhaust. Now maybe that extra 20rwkw doesn't sound like much but thats around 35-40HP at the engine, hell thats a low of power to just "lose". But maybe its just something like your exhaust isnt that free flowing or your intercooler is a bit filled with oil build up or your engine is just getting a bit old and worn etc.

But hell, if it drives fine and feals fine and you don't really care about getting power out of the car and want just a nice driver, then who really cares, just leave it.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
