I have highlighted the operative word. I was merely stating what they are capable of. Sure there are other factors involved but that would be my estimate at their maximum capability with all variables taken into account. Perfect A/F ratio, good base pressure etc etc.

Lipstick on a pig, champ. Even trying to get an accurate look at the capabilities without all of the aspects you failed mention in your post is silly. Imagine it's running a 'heavy' non-oxygenated fuel for a moment, something that burns nice and slow that you can lean out quite a bit and that the base fuel pressure is 75psi.

What are the 1000cc injectors worth in horsepower terms then?

DiRT smelled a rat...and indeed his nose has been vindicated...there was something not right and now its been highlighted by the tuner as fact.

Ok...back to discussing this monster R34

My balls are far too small to drive a car that nuts on the road! Yes H@ME the owner certainly is looking over his shoulder for the men in white coats.

Im having trouble working out what is more awesome in this thread...this car...or Johnny's avatar.

i vote for johnnys avatar happening on the bonnet of this r34. win win.

and i take it you mean the injectors infact being different to what was stated as the rat..

regardless tho.. well done trent great work.

yes...rat = injector size that was stated

not anything to do with any person, dyno, drivetrain losses etc

Im tempted to jump on the plane and come down to MAS to see it unleashed.

Ok so you're saying that 1000cc injectors are not capable of supporting 1200 engine hp?

And it's even more silly to start adding variables. Sure, change the fuel, change the base pressure....the 1000cc injector can still do it, just not with that arrangement. So you haven't disproved anything. That's like the guys from Bugatti saying their Veyron can do 400 and you say, oh but can it do it against a head wind with flat tyres? uh ah!.

No it can't do it against a head wind with flat tyres...but it can still do it.

Ok so you're saying that 1000cc injectors are not capable of supporting 1200 engine hp?

Quite the opposite, champ. I see you have misread/misinterpreted what I meant. No matter.

My point was that it's silly to make assumptions and guesstimates without knowing or at least having a pretty bloody good idea at what the other variables are.

so trent what injectors is the car actually running? brand? size?

indy blues, they look the same only the indys have a black body not silver..... 1600cc. i think it is covered on page 6 http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Tu...html&st=100

interesting... wats the idle like.. i assume you'd probaly have troubles getting it down to 1000-1100 range with injectors of that size? than again.. the cams in that thing would be rather large and probaly prefer an idle around the 1200rpm mark?

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
