I don't see why everyone's so touchy over dyno results.

I don't see why everyone's so touchy over dyno results.

I did it and it was very wrong, my boat weighs about 1600 kg = 3527 lb, my trap speed is around 133mph, it said I had 647RWHP.

On the dyno at unigroup it says about 500hp ATM, so thats 150 stray horses my car does not have.

The ET one was at least partialy right with my 3527lb and 500 hp giving a 11.17, my best is 11.13, but the trap speed was 122, its missing the 11mph that I do have.

Mark did u actually weigh ur car? My GTR weighs 1550 which is full weight

Last time at the Creek on the scales with me in it (80kg then, fatty) it was 16??, no carpet/sound deadening/no rear seat, it does have a steel Bonds half cage in it though and a full tank of fuel .

Unless the scales were faulty ?????

I might have to re-weigh it without the anchor

Congrats on the airport high speed run Robo :D

Awesome top speed!!

Thanks mate, its was fun, apart from the f**king rocks, and my standard size brakes trying to slow me down from 245kph so I didnt hit the big white cones..

RB25/30RWDFTW

Good luck for me but bad luck for some other cars with the radar playing up, my last run was about 1200, apparently the radar glitch happened after I left.

That yellow 34 GTR was puching a heap of power to, there is a linky somewhere with incar footage.

Well I was a bit disappointed I had to leave so early, would have loved to see a few of the higher hp cars run..

The rocks and stone chips were a little annoying..

Your right though, those cones do approach very quickly.. Might be time for a brake upgrade mate :D

Mine says 560-580

Is the mercury 34 really running stock bottom end?

Can't find my hpi mag with full write up but found this http://www.mercurymotorsport.com.au/2011/04/“nitto”-r34-gtr-–-1072hp-at-all-4-wheels/

Maybe they have more than 1?

what the deal with manual vs auto trans with those moroso's. ..say my car made 710 moroso hp auto ..but if i put a manual in it

and it traps another 3.5-4mph..it would show more hp on a moroso, yet no make anymore, is that correct or how they work?

i have seen them, they are a basic sliding rule thing

cheers

I'm not really an expert on the subject but if you take out an auto and put in a manual, aren't you going to make more HP at the wheels?

This would also coincide with your higher trap speed

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
