Yet another keyboard god that knows everything from behind the computer screen just ask him....

Try geting some real world experience old boy instead of just reading the interwebs then thinking your an expert on everything

dude, Hadouken wasn't even having a go at you, he was commenting on the Canadian GTR vid posted above. You're (as in 'you are') taking swipes at people who aren't even talking about you.

If you honestly don't care, you certainly have a funny way of showing it....

and as for that Canadian GTR, in the link posted to the GTR forum... it says 94 octane, not VP 109, so about 98-100 here.... 470rwkw.... that's seriously impressive! Only 21psi as well!! That's a farken good effort as we know the numbers are legit.

*goes to have a word with my 26*

:D

He was actually right.

People are questioning things, that's the purpose of the forum. It does not give you the right to go on the personal against them all however - time to pull your head in.

Fair call by bad.

I definately don't know everything and I'm still learning i was simply trying to show my experiences in regards to my setup.

It just seemed like a few guys thought I had fabricated the dyno results out of thin air or something which gets frustrating after the dollars I have spent.

End rant

I think everything needs to lighten up as we are talking about cars here & not kids.

I too am extremely passionate about cars & I probably sometimes over do it as well haha, but we should all feel privileged that ppl choose to share their results of their pride & joy after heavy investment...does it honestly matter if someone is making mid 400's or high 400's? pffft

Mark-32: It is evident that you are making serious power on that track (don't need to be a rocket scientist to figure that one out). I'd like to see more ppl push the envelope like you have - congrats again & enjoy it.

Yeah I understand that and I wasnt even going to put the graphs up but someone pm'd me so I emailed them to him then he posted them up.

I dont have the recent graphs on me but the car now runs a haltech and with a normal boost curve on the same dyno it makes 430-450kw in 5th with a fair bit of wheelspin.

That figure seems to be the norm for dash 5's

Thanks mate appreciate it.

Dyno figures are not god and overule! Too many factors that can be changed to alter power readings

I would have to add something to that in saying it's more often not changing of figures rather than incorrect setup of the dyno. Strap it down too loose and the wheel pulls up too far on to the front roller and bam, there's another 50hp. Air temp in the wrong place (by mistake) or just an inaccurate uncalabrated dyno.

Most times the dyno operator isn't doing it intentionally but mph on a drag strip has always been the best way to determine how accurate that power figure is.

That is completely true but.....

I think SAU has been around long enough to be able to make claim to being the absolute best source of information available in the world. It's really nice for people to share their passion and their joy here but at the same time, the figures MUST be open to scrutiny if they are more than expected or even lower for that matter. It's a public forum, people have different opinions and knowledge.

The worst thing for us is when we build/tune a car that has a specific setup based on what a mate has or what he read on a forum and it doesn't get the result they hoped for. Sometimes by a long shot!. They go down the road and get a higher reading and then suddenly tuner #1 is a bad tuner or their dyno reads 'low'. Get a print out from the other that says 550hp in your 33 GTST but only run 122mph

Well f**k low, f**k it in its arse. Go out and run it down the 1/4. I guarantee you'll run the mph that's accurate for the power and weight you have.....if you make it to the end in one piece hehe.

Reading, learning from others and pulling ones head in can often make you a smarter man, but only when you know what information to listen to and what information to hear.

Finally someone with some backed up proof.

How much does your car weigh? I suspect you have more than 480kw

... why?

I used to run 136/8mph in '06 with just shy of 400rwkw and a little hit of gas (50hp). Full weight r32GTR.

Your mph suggests you have more like 620-650hp (462-485kw)

What did it make with the gas included?

lol, i can understand people thinking Ash is a flamin mongrel some times, ..lol, ..having said that, after being made a moderator

on another forum, it ain't as easy as it looks and gets old very quick..not many people have the time or the patience for it..as well as

it being unpaid for.. its all basically for the love..if you did it for a while, you'd be just as harsh or worse, i can guarantee it..

cheers

It's all water off a ducks back to me really - but I know you get it Darren :)

End of the day people get their backs up too often when questioned... If they didn't want to be questioned, don't post.

Thread cleaned - I did try to give a friendly warning, seems it lasted about 4 posts and off topic it went again.

If its water off a ducks back then why delete my post.....

You still didn't answer my question either where is your 400kw results...?

Remembering what you said if you don't want to be questioned then don't post....

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
