with 250kw at the wheels, mine must be 400hp awd :devil:;)

now dont talk costs :)

you'll need more than 3k to smash that xr8,

highflowed turo, garret spec, $2500

ecu remap/piggyback, $1000-$1500

fmic, dump pipe, air induction, $1000

and the list goes on....

More like 430hp... nice.

Those who don't have it want it.

Those that have it want more.

Those that have more are still not satisfied.

:) such the wallet hating addiction we seem to have...

did you use 30% drivetrain loss?? thats not necessarily true. generally the drivetrain costs power eg, 50kw, but it would be around 50kw no matter how much power you have. does that make sense?? there are some discussions about this ;) like a supercharger might cost 40kw to turn it, but the gains of forced induction gain more power than its using.......

I know you were talking generally, but drivetrain loss in a stagea is more like ~85kw. Based on s2 having supposedly 206kw and ~120awkw. Somehow the M35 250t with a very similar drivetrain still has 206kw but manages 135+ awkw. go figure.

Most other cars seem to have around 50-60kw drivetrain loss, so that makes sense. If you remove the front tailshaft in the stagea, the difference on a dyno is ~20kw compared to awd so that tells me that the awd "costs" about 20kw. However, the extra traction more than makes up for this on the road. Those who have been to the drags and tried a run with awd and then rwd (but in a awd stagea - so same weight) claim that the awd is quicker, despite the extra drivetrain losses.

For what its worth, factory rwd is a different story since we're then talking about a ~200kg weight difference.

yeah its pretty damn high, but what im explaining to others (i used 50kw as an example) that no matter how much power you have, the drivetrain will always take 85kw (for an M35 auto) not 30% which may end up being a bigger figure. i have more experience with silvias, AUDM S15s have around 40kw drivetrain loss, a little more efficient than their S13 bretheren at almost 50kw. but thats technology advancing. better still my honda lost 30kw which i think was pretty good!

yup i agree. I owned 2 s13's, one of them turbo. Very quick car (the turbo)....but a little slippery in the wet.

LOL.. Nah, I used SK's estimate of 70kw for the S2 regarding drivetrain loss which makes more sense to me than a percentage as why would the drivetrain sap more power from the engine the more powerful the engine is?

I figure it takes me X amount of energy to lift a chair. If I went nuts in the gym and grew 50% stronger, would it require more energy to lift the same chair? No, it would require the same energy, but I would have much more left over due to the strength increase (which is why it would feel easier to lift it).

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
