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.

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.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
