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.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
