i really hope thats not your car in your sig if it is.... you belong somewhere else..... and im sorry if im the first person to tell you this , but other then that lets see what your car put down? other then that gillete ricer wing and vinyl bumper cover

Sorry Manuel, I am somewhere else. Anyway what happened to your job at Fawlty Towers, did Basil fire you???

People on this board are notorious for regurgitating what has been said on here over and over so many times it's now considered fact. Somebody gets different numbers from what you expect and they are full of shit, or are using BS "american hp numbers". I'm not saying everybody does it, but a lot.

I will grant you guys there are differences in dyno's, and there are a lot of inertia dyno numbers still coming out of the states, but these differences are not 10-15% different from what you guys are claiming--especially on a Mustang dyno which is one of the lowest reading dyno's out there. His 132mph was with less boost and less timing than the dyno run also, so keep that in mind. He's go a full weight R33 and he's not a skinny guy. BTW, how many dyno figures are there on here of people pushing 30psi with that much timing out of a GT35r?

**Edit--perfect example, how many of you guys jumping on this "that's a BS number" bandwagon have any experience with anything but a stock turbined car? I know some of the guys posting have some nasty cars, or have built quit a few, but if you haven't ever run quicker than 13's, you might want to keep your comments to yourself. :)

I am more then qualified to comment in this thread. So i will.

I have had arguements with Mr Reagan on many occations over the last year about his claimed power figures, he never had a dyno (appart from a engine dyno) to test it on and the quarter mile runs he does does not count the MPH from what he tells me.

This guys only passion in life is his skyline, like most of us here but there is one difference, he has no support, access to no spare parts.. In fact it is ILLEGAL to import second hand car parts into his country, only NEW parts are allowed.

they tune his car on the STREET, with 380 - 400rwkw that he has he would be spinning the wheels all over the road and only the bottom to mid range of the tune was too rich if anything.

His tuner got rolled and robbed for his laptop and personal belongings when on the side of the road tuning a car for someone. Honestly i can admit we are spoilt here compared to how he has it and he still manages to pull out a low second quarter at 132 mph. Its easier to let him have his HP claim even though we know its not fully acurate but he is packin alot of horse power and is out there kicking everyones ass showing who is boss.

We did help him heaps in his travels, sorry you took this the wrong way mate but good work and it would be good to see you grab 140mph - that way we can put the power to MPH in our own aussie gauge.

Post up some more pics of your skyline...

BTW Reagan, Trident lives in the outback of australia.. he has access to open roads you could only dream of and he has the cover to protect his Skyline. Things are different in all parts of this country. Maybe you should visit sometime.

& BTW mate, you can take back the comment about where you are from.. I am from a country next door to yours.. (well half of me) my dad used to build and tune Race Boats in Argentina.. :(

To say nothing of the meth injection as well.

on gtr.co.uk someone took a car (probably crank hp dyno) on N1s from 460 to 620 on water/meth, without changing a thing just the tune.

at least that is what they posted, but it is quite plausible.

Its the internet. Everyone is qualified, You just ask them.

I dont think there is one person who doesnt respect what regan has done with his car, Given the obvious difficulty in completing a project like that in his locale it is a credit to him and all involved.

I just wish he'd find his funny bone. We take the piss out of each other on a daily basis and if any one burrs up the dose doubles. Maybe its a cultural difference or maybe hes just a humorless twit, or maybe our attempt at humor is just pathetic. Who knows. The truth is, as long as he keeps bitin like a moreton bay shark hes going to get baited.

This is after all an aussie forum. I dont think its our duty to do a cultural study to find out what makes regan tick.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Maybe we should introduce him to Roger Cordia. I see similar personality traits.

As I said earlier Seriously don't worry about telling people dyno numbers, there are many who's whole car experience and life goals revolve around these silly pieces of paper.

Instead the idea is to get the car to run great times, which you are certainly on the way to doing and no doubt having fun with. Having quicker or more consistant times as you goal will see you become a more competitive racer.

Alot of the drag racing people I grew up around had no idea exactly how much power thier cars were making, at the time the dyno's that exsisted would not have been able to cope.

And it's still true today of the most competitve.

Awesome effort!

By the way Aussies do have a big side to thier humour thats about cutting each other down, we aren't serious when we do it. :laugh:

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 :laugh:

And I did a 128mph with only 350kw out of a stock RB25 with a GT30, also on a dusty POS track like Regan runs on,,, bad tracks make for very odd MPH's

Video of 128mph at only 11.6

Nope, not according to 2rismo and some others!! Spinning violently through 1st, 2nd, and part of third will not affect your mph, not even a little! Just ask him :thumbsup:

Ha ha ha, thats why with my new suspension setup and decent track I ran a 11.1 at 1mph slower.

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
