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.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • 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.
