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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
