Let's not turn yet another thread into a discussion about your car, please.

Yep, pretty hard to actually race dyno graphs.......

My tuner told me once the only figure he cares about is the one on the podium.

Because race car!

This is my point. So really dyno tuning is for tuning not rattling off numbers. Real track numbers are the only ones that matter. So why do people waste their time asking for builds based on power numbers. Every car that I have ever modified I have never really cared about anything else except how it performs when I drive it or race it. Don't know. Must be getting old.

You can still base your mods/builds on power figures, but when you are using the dyno as the comparative tool rather than the track, the reality can sometimes be skewed. If you race against someone and they are 0.1 second faster around the circuit and you make X amount of hp, you then know you've either gotta make X + 50, get better suspension or tune the suspension or just get better at driving.

You're not old, you're just wiser. We are slowly educating our customers as much as possible but it's a slow task. If they ever leave here with a low power figure on the print out, we always tell them to drive it and call back if they are disappointed.....or run it down the 1/4 and compare it to their previous result.

It's just common sense really

After much reading I think the only way to settle this is a "Rate my fun Car Thread"

Show how much fun your having in your skyline and then it gets rated from 1 - 10 by your peers.

Maybe we could factor in how many kilometers the car does a year to show the true useableness of said car.

I'm pretty sure the 400kw thread can be locked now.

402kw 10.81et 131.36mph. As per 2wd dyno dynamics dyno.

So is it safe to say that to run these numbers this is the power you need?

Maybe we need to start multiple threads 9 sec cars, 10 sec cars, 11sec cars so people can post their times, mods and driving style. Just a thought

We tend to get used to what general effect x.kw on a familiar dyno has on the way a car goes. Case in point, I have been helping out with the tuning on a mates S14 track car - he has got weight down to around 1090kg and he figured that 250-270kw @ hubs on the local hub dyno would make more than sufficient to have an awesome amount of fun with it. From there we were able to work out that sweet - a "350hp" rated turbo, a stock SR20DET and E85 should work together fairly well together to provide somewhere in that territory. Again, it wasn't to create claims to show off on forums - it was just more the knowledge that the power figure on that dyno should be able to allow for a fairly reliable but quick car.

Who cares if it would be maybe "only" 230-240kw on a Dyno Dynamics dyno or 300kw on a dyno set up to inflate figures? We know that it would be a figure that it can be competitive and reliable on the track in the type of racing he wants to do as well as be fun to drive. This all comes down to the "Dyno is a tuning too" thing, you can compare between results on that same dyno and fine tune different aspects to suit your requirements.

Spot on. its a tuning tool and the only relavence to its figures is when it needs to be used to modify the engine management computer to optimise engine efficiency..nothing to do with comparing to another dyno down the road.

Also in a street car engine power does not necessarily relate to how quick your car is. An example is when I was active on the ls1 forums there were cars running 0.5 seconds quicker down the quarter with 50 rwkw less, why, because of hi stalls and diff gears and rear suspension setups and all streetable not radical stuff AND a good healthy tune. In other words there cars were efficient for their purpose and drivers knew how to drive. Higher dyno HP really means nothing to me.

If I had to get an engine built (which I am) I say to my mechanic I want to run low 10s in my daily. He should tell me what he is going to do and how much and when. When I get it back and after run in or whatever he tells me to do.....I want it running low 10s and I don't care if its got 300 400 or 500awkw.

I know its a rant but hopefully it helps steer the younger crew into the older ways of thinking....pipe dream maybe

Standard weight 32 or 33 GTR / GTST that runs 129-130 mph has 400rwkw

That's based on everything from 1400-1450kg (3100-3200lb)

@ 1550kg (3400lb) it needs to be about 125mph

And lets not forget.. Driver could be anywhere from 70kg through to 120kg.. Tanks of fuel or empty changes things by another possible 50kg..

(not disagreeing with you by the way - just pointing out even this has a bearing on it)

My car with 120.8rwkw on Unique autosports dyno ran 14.58 @ 95mph (97.6MPH Best). 1450kg 300zx. Injector Duty Cycle at 85% approx 270cc.

Most definitely. Half a tank of fuel changes your mph by 1. Another 25kg around the belly can cancel that out too haha.

So us fat bastards need to race on 1/4 tank to be just as fast

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
