That's not what I was saying at all. Forget the ET. It's irrelevant. What's a full-weight RB S13 weigh? Not as much as a full-weight Skyline I'd imagine.

My point was that the 128mph doesn't match that car with 600rwhp. That's all.

And dyno figures are about as relevant as post counts.

I love how everyone assumes ideal real world case’s in every single situation. I don’t control dyno calibration. 2 out of 3 where within each other, one was less (lets call the lower one closer to correct) for the sake of this discussion.

Next time I’ll have a rabi over see the dyno :happy:

thats great! so lets see it then? after you get it blessed of course.

See what? a dyno run + Rabi? I’m not actually arguing over the power being right or wrong. It ran a 10.8 at 128mph, it made happy power on a machine I do not control. If 128mph means less HP in real world testing, then so be it. What are we all trying to prove here?

AFAIK the guy I sold it to now runs an auto, keep an eye out at Willow Bank I guess :happy:

All good mate. I believe that your car made 600 and that it ran 128mph. I was just suggesting that the mph doesn't support the dyno.

And Ive been suggesting like 90% of dynos its probably incorrect. I thought this was about old mate saying my mph didnt match up with the ¼ mile time, not mph matching up with dyno print off.

2rismo is right.. that mph does not match the time.

jesus what a way to jack my thread..... yea i know your messing antony still not cool though, i always though my car had 640 crank hp back when i ran at 29 psi with 3 degress less timing i put the timing and the extra pound and it did feel like a 30+hp gain, and as for the dyno its a brand new mustang dyno its 1 of the lowest reading dyno's in the us its nick name is the heart breaker..... my freinds gt4092r talon at 38 pounds of boost dyno'd 571 awhp ... normal?? i just dont like it when people think thier stuff is better or more right then some 1 elses just cause of where they live or got it from.... ill get the sheet for you in about 30 mins when i get to the dyno

CYA haters.....

come on mate.. we aint haters.. we just have different horsepower / kw then you do. Your MPH is about the same as mine and i had only 374kw at the wheels on a proper prepped track.. the MPH tells all.

Your car may have that much hp over there, but over here its a different ball game with different dyno's... we often hear bogus power figures come out of the US that we cannot work out how.. we have the most support - more parts cheaper available to us then anyone else around the world and we been playing with imports longer then anyone else so its not because we do not know what we are doing. Its just the readings that are different.

So tell me how did you go in Chille?

thats bs man bring your car 2.5 vs 3.0 pump vs pump ill smoke you, i have 50 hp more then that time i raced and you forgeting the weight diference between our cars and drivers and i dont care if you invented the damn engine dont mean my numbers are bogus

when you get a low low 10sec quarter and 140ish mph then it will seem more realistic.

I've been waiting for someone to say that guilt man. Forget the et if his track is as dusty and shitty as he says then its unlikely he'll get the times. The mph is the litnus test tho. 130 doesnt cut the mustard.

No doubt its a tuff car and good luck to the owner/builder but unless the strip is on a 45 degree uphill slope those numbers simply do not equate to 600 plus hp.

when your looking at my rear lights it will seema little more realistic also, btw the mustang dyno was designed in australia and mustang dyno's software and formulas are made and written in australia

100% mate. I was disagreeing with GT and clarifying my point. We're on the same page :-)

not good with the whole reading thing are we i ran the 132 trap back when the car had 50 hp less less boost and less timing and my car weighs 1580 kilos with driver

Look Raegan, no one is denying your setup is tough, you have the quickest car in your class in your country and you do it all yourself which is friggin awesome. Its a great credit to you and whoever helped you.

What happened in Chille? post up pics!!! post up dyno sheet as well

and as for you floggin my car... Everyone talked it up and said that to me has learnt the hard way.. besides i am over drag racing i don't even think i will drag race it again.

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
