WAAWHO,

Rippin time Shaun, the diff change might increase your final MPH, great 60' time, that is where you make all the good ET's, thinking you will need a terminal speed around 119-120mph to really crack the 12SEC barrier. YES Shaun, send your times into HPI because that time puts you in the TOP 10 6 cyl RWD assisted. WELL DONE.

yeah, I was thinking that too Gav.....

when Rs are run on a rwd dyno using the "secret method", does this rwhp represent the true hp that would be seen if the car was in fact FR? or is there still some high drive train loss? I can only assume so, since standard R 1/4 times are in the high twelves. surely, if there was that much to be gained by running the 26 to the rear wheels, everyone who wanted an 11 second GTR would just pull a fuse!

there are quite a few gts-ts floating around now with well over the "stockish" gtr rwhp figures (~330 to 350) but not many with these sort of times...

...so is it all about the nittos? or is there something more to it?

Sean - not sure of the weight difference, but nothing in the drivetrain is light.

When I ripped out the HICAS and replaced it with a solid bar I saved more than 10kg!

Nothing secret in the R32 about 2wd mode, just pull the fuse. As there isn't a free wheeling hub set-up in GTRs, there will still be added resistance of the front drive shafts free wheeling when driving.

I can't imagine that this plays a part on the dyno, however.

I'd be really interested to see a comparison between a GTRs 1/4 times on 4wd and then with the fuse pulled.

if there isnt a free wheeling hub, you'd really expect additional drivetrain losses over RwD - which would mean that the actual power made will be greater than "represented" by the dyno readout.

...not wanting to go getting into a "dyno readouts arent what it's about" slagging match....

I think that Gav should take his down with nitto's, he has virtually the same power as Got Boost, will make an interesting comparison:D

Not for long Paul - should be bolting on a couple of 25/40s in the next couple of weeks anong with some bigger injectors.

Hope to have all/most done by the time I get back to Perth in early Nov.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
