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. :)

well guys this thread has gotten out of hand i come here to share my numbers and really extend my joy of making this engine by my self tuning it by my self and dyno'in these numbers, with you guys, you guys are really suposed to have my back we have the same car we all strive for the same goals, ive invested almost 3 years of my life into this car.., when i made this thread i didnt think id be made fun of because of where i am located, i didnt think id get bombarded by every 1 saying im full of shit and nothing i did is worth anything and basically calling me a liar to my face, i get for soem of you this forum is your entertainment but doesnt mean you should do these things, im done with this thread you guys enjoy whats left of it ......

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.

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
