I think you can estimate engine HP from rwhp fairly easily

If a stock r33 has 187kw @ the engine and roughly 140rwkw

then that's a 25% drivetrain loss (25% of 187kw is 47kw)

assuming the same drivetrain loss, if you have 240rwhp then you would have approx 320hp at the engine.

Only way you can get engine horsepower on a dyno sheet is if the engine has been out of the car and put on a engine dyno (highly unlikely).

Not necessarily. Some dynos let you calculate flywheel power, which is about as accurate as the rear wheel power.

The dynos will continue to measure after the driver lifts off (I'd assume they have to put the car in neutral). The speed at which the rear wheels spin down gives the dyno an idea of the drivetrain loss, which it can then use to calculate the flywheel power.

It's not a common practice in Australia, but I know quite a few UK dyno operators will do this.

not trying to get into a debate, but i highly doubt standard r33s are still making 140rw kw being 15 years old or so! i threw mine on the dyno to see... it made 160hp@wheels and developed anout 6 1/2 psi... completely standard motor/exhaust/clutch. but thats off topic :) lol

Hmm very interesting, never heard of that before. I'm going to do some reading on that, cheers man.

If you are refering to my above comment, all i was saying was that these cars are gettign old and in stock form i highly doubt they would still make the same power they were claimed to have from the factory new. Back on topic, the 240hp would be At the wheels, yes!

Try 180hp @ flywheel (unless, of course, you actually make hp through the drivetrain)

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
