if found the 595rs to be a semi semi (ie not as soft as r888 or 555 etc) so you should be ok, ive dynoed a few with the 595rs without drama, mind you they were only high 200 rwkw cars.

Those and the KU36 are a street compound in a semi pattern not an R compound(Like the RE55), or an I mistaken?

these were the tyres I was using. well actually 595rs-r's

it should be somewhere around 350+kw at the rears which is the bit that concerns me (RB30 + GT3582 0.82)

They have a tread wear rating around 150 unlike the RE55's which are between 50-100 from memory

yep the KU36 and 595rs-r and RT615 are all in the same basket... pretty aggro tread pattern but no where near as soft as full semis... all around 180-200 tread wear rating

I've just had a set of the KU36 put on my car... I wouldn't think they will affect the dyno at all... they drive pretty much like normal road tyres just have a stiffer sidewall, fatter shoulder and bigger tread blocks

I dunno what's up with your car but I would be looking for a second opinion

480rwkw... yes!

480rwhp... no!

unless it was stripped to a bare shell and even then it would probably be too heavy

Defiantly 480rwhp and full body totally as driven and as it sits at my house for sale right now. So many shops give dodgy power figures and people have become so brainwashed that they believe these silly figures. Many high powered GTRs are Dyno queens with very poor power curves with late boost and falling off boost between gears etc.

This thing even does over 500ks to a tank and is very nice to drive with a simple smart package that now its sorted works.

sold haha.

I had mine tuned ages ago and at the time it only had 250ish kw, but it was strapped down with NUMEROUS straps. Anyone who has been to the PITS knows the top notch setup matty has going on there.

Pluss I would think that it would have to be strapped down WELL due to OH&S requirements. I dont care who you are, not strapping a car down, or just using 1 strap is completely negligent.

Well I have the Time cards and I tuned it myself. Ive been accused of over rating Power graphs but under rating is a first.

I have racecars at every meeting at Wanneroo beating similar cars that claim sometimes 100s of HP more than my cars so these huge power claims make me laugh.

Ive even seen GTRs with 800rwhp power graphs run 11.9s etc so forget Dyno sheets and rely on time cards.

i said you could run 134mph with 480rwkw... doesnt mean it would be a good run!

480rwhp on the other hand is bending physics

No it's not... Head out to WSID...

Maybe a car making 480RWHP at 9000RPM it is...

But if it's pushing 480RWHP at 4500RPM... You're making double the torque... IE, it'll accelerate twice as fast... :(

Edit: As to that video of the car "climbing" out of the dyno... I wouldn't even call that movement if you'd seen how mine used to walk around when coming on boost until we worked out how to strap it on perfectly...

Car used to walk 1.5Ft sideways, and if it didn't go sideways, it'd climb OVER the front of the roller and nearly touch the front of the dyno... Oh, and the whole time it's doing this it's filling the work shop with tyre smoke... :cool:

Took us a bit to work it out, but lower the ramp rate, and we actually LOOSENED one of the straps to stop it wheel spinning so much... Still shredded the tyres though in the end... And they were just normal streets!

You developing double the torque in order to make the power at that speed but will you accelerate twice as fast?

ive only dyno'd a few cars... but in my experience, when i strap them down (using dyno dynamics dyno) that this will not stop them from jumping off the dyno.. the front wheels being choc'd will more then likely .. the strapping down with snatch straps via the lower control arms to the traction bar only achieves better downforce on the rollers for more accurate figures and hopefully preventing wheelspin..

i get alot of people who get scared of thier cars jumping off the dyno and hitting the brick wall 8m infront of the dyno haha... does no one understand the theory of momentum ... a car has none when on the dyno... its not going far if it jumps off, especially when choc'd and the operator backing off.

Never claimed outrageous power numbers and nothing like I see posted these days. I did once claim very high 400rwkw from a Skyline and it did run well over 140mph over the 1/4 in full street trim to back it up.

what am i doing wrong?...ive got a r32 running around 145 MPH weighing 1571kg...its got over 600kw at the treads.

In 2004 ND4SPD was 500rwkw(683rwhp) on My Dyno and ran over 140mph on normal road Dunlops. ET was quite poor at high 10s but Speed proves the power.

I think people like having unrealistic power figures on their cars and are happy to believe they do even if they cant run the MPH they should.

http://www.dragsource.com/index.php?navsel...mp;calctoview=4

checks out here...

3457lb

best et 9.45

best MPH 145

best dyno figure 820hp

the result is only 2.5hp off

its made between 810 and 820 on two different dyno's in two different cities with a very skilled dyno operator.

NIB the car you are refering to is a freak (not ND4SPD the other one)...actually something has come to mind...what final drive is it using? ND4SPD's MPH is about right for the power as i ran 139.6 holding 3rd with 500KW at the treads.

Fatz the 145MPH was using 4 gears...hehe

Engine HP maybe not rear wheel. The figures used for these Power/weight v Speed calculators are all based on USA Superflow type dynos.

The car I was talking about backed up its power within 2rwhp at a big car show. 500rwkw is just short of 800 at the flywheel and returned 143 and a bit MPH.

Big George Toyota is around 1440kg and ran 150 and low 9s with 600rwhp, Glen Robinsons Ford is 1275KGs and ran 8.8@ 152mph with 820 flywheel on a Superflow engine dyno.

they refer in the text below the calculator to being within 2hp of a dynojet dyno...i.e. a chassis dyno

Thats with you in the car and the fuel cell filled right? I thought a stripped R32 drag GTR would weigh less than that... I suppose the roll cage adds a bit of weight back?

I've weighed mine with me in the car and fuel (can't remember exactly how much fuel there was, probably half a tank) and it was 1500kg on the dot. Mates aero top supra was 1620kg with him and fuel in it for reference.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
