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

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
