For my run, that calculator is out by 100kw.

What happened to the nitto engine in mercurys gtr?

I heard a few different stories, one was bent rods in 1 and 6 after running on the dyno with a headgasket leak.

This is what i heard to. Also heard it happened before that 1072hp run :wacko: .

Also heard there is a nitto rb32 being built for when the current bottom end gives way.

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

of course..lol, but doesn't the moroso calculator work out weight shifted power at the "engine"?, engine power will still be the same

rwhp will be different, in my old car it would make another 50-60rwhp i would have thought manual, hence me asking the question..

guessing it doesnt account for that

cheers

Marko ur time and mph is very impressive for that power

My best is 11.30 @ 127.5mph with 340rwkw

And my 32 Gtr got weighed during engineering process and was 1620kg i think (full interior, spare wheel, etc)

With reduced weight it is closer to my power but still 70kw over the mark

Is it possible you actually had 500hp? And half a tank of fuel? Can you send me a PM with your setup so I can see what sort of power you should/would make?

my cat isn't too healthy at the moment unfortunately :( - i'm not going de-cat, so should i just get one of those 100cell 5" venom ones? haven't bought a cat since my last GT-T and that was years ago... just some little 3" catco one....

some SAU searching brings up Venom a lot but some uber german brand called HJS gets a bit of a mention...

don't know if there have been any major cat improvements over the years, bit out of the loop with these things....

EDIT: forgot about the ballistic cats... i do remember those from a while back

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
