Hi,

I'm starting this thread for anyone that is interested in seeing the results before and after auto to manual conversion. I have 3 sets of results taken at different stages over the last year.

1st off is the dyno results as an auto, using 96 octane petrol

Mods to the car

K & N panel air filter

Extractors (6,2,1)

2 1/2" exhaust straight from the extractors (no Cat)

2nd dyno, was done shortly after the manual conversion (4th gear dyno), still running the auto diff, 96 petrol + Nulon pro strength octane booster (Note; low torque figures at the wheels) 16kw increase at the rear wheels:D

3rd dyno was taken today, running a 4:3.1 ratio LSD diff, using 98 octane petrol and nulon pro strength octane booster.

Unfortunatly I have lost a few kw somewhere, but gained another 175Nm of torque at the wheels:D

Both dynos run after the conversion were done still using the old auto ECU.

u didnt use the octane on the first?

how much of an improvement is that stuff?

Opps, yeah I did but a different brand, think it was 108+ octane booster (black bottle).

To be honest I don't really know if the octane booster, makes that much difference. I can't really feel any power increase over using BP ultimate. I think each car is a little different in the way it responds, some people swear by it.

about the 4:3.1 ratio LSD diff you put on, is that the standard diff that comes on manual GTS25's?? (ie the same diff i would have)

It wasn't a R33 GTS25 diff, it was off another Nissan thou. Every thing was the same except the plate on the back of the diff(different sized mounting), we just swaped the plates over and it fitted. I believe the ratio shoud be the same.

I red somewhere that when a car is auto, the torque converter somehow doubles the figures. If I could only remember the site, it was quite interesting.

interesting that it had heaps more torque when it was auto, wonder why....?

Ok found the site explaining why, Have alook at www.howstuffworks.com just look up torque converters in the auto section.

thanks skyla that was a very intersting read. it backs up what your dyno results showed us: with an auto you get more torque but less power.

btw, you made a little typo in your link, this should work :stupid:http://auto.howstuffworks.com/torque-converter.htm

of course holdens are gonna have more rwkw's as there a bigger heavier car, but yes our na liners will beat v6 commies and straight 6 vct vvt and non vvt fords i know this from expierience.

Ive got a na skyline and have had a bit of work done to the engine. First thing was the throttle body with a bigger butterfly.

Extractors with full 2 1/2 exhaust. Air Filter and had it dyno tuned with a piggy bak on the ecu. I have now got 137.5kw at the wheels. Pretty good, kills V6 commodores and falcons easy.

Hey Nick,

A few questions about your throttle body, I'm looking at getting mine done in the not too distant future, Just got to get a problem sorted first.

Did you get your factory TB and intake plenium bored out, if so how many mm did you get removed, or was the TB from a different car?

Yeh, a bit more profromance with the bigger butterfly. Also there is two mesh round circles in the pipe in the air box. Take this out they also ad little power. Better air flow. Na didn't get canaried sat nite. The dumb cop was going to give me one for my driving light on the series two bumper. They dont work because there not hookt up. He reckons if you have driving light they must work.

What about the fake tail lights on the new nissan patrol. He left me alone after that.lol.

I have also been told you can use a 300sx TB as long as you duno tune the car after doing so.

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
