it almost looks like the real output is the lesser 1 about 300kw , maybe the 526kw was cause it had masive wheel spin on the dyno maybe ?

see how the graph lines are identicle ! but 1 is less......

I dont think the pic is the skyline on the dyno. White in the pic and dark blue on the dyno. The car on the dyno has been in a few magazines, its called GTR700 from memory and it also runs twin HKS 3540s from veilside. Special order as apparently HKS dont have them in there catalouge. Definately not low mounts. It has massive power now and has achieved a 9.xx pass. It was shown at one of the melbourne car shows at the front (It was under cover to start with). I forget which show it was.

Cheers

Wierd stuff like this can happe on dynos. A club in Canberra recently had a dyno day using shootout mode on a dyno dynamics and we had a Honda Civic non vtec sohc (i think? mightve been dohc) run on the dyno. All previous runs this made around 55-60kw at the wheels, but this one particular run something went wierd and it went up to almost 100kw at the wheels (thats almost integra type r figures).

Not disputing the one above isnt real, just seems pretty hard to believe still running low mount turbos, mightve been dyno error?

it can be done with low mount turbo's in similar specs as the 2540's, ..........BUT that's with either avgas or a mixture of fuels.

then you have the issue if the dyno is calibrated properly even if it is in shootout mode (which reads slightly more) as most dyno's/workshops around australia are starting to use shootout mode to get consistency.

+ with a hit of nitrious which from the photo i can't see it hooked up.

just my 2 cents

Mario's GTR has dipped into the 8s, but we're not talking about that car... I have no idea why a video of it on the dyno was posted in this thread...

Erm... perhaps because i thought the video was pretty ****in impressive?

Perhaps i wanted to contribute to the thread?

Perhaps because it was a similar subject - one skyline on a dyno shown on a graph, and another skyline on a dyno in a video.

Perhaps i didn't know you'd all seen "Mario's" skyline before?

You guys should really lighten up. I'm talking about Morgs and Merli here. If you don't want me to post links to interesting videos then just say. I wasn't by any means trying to confuse people - the fact of the matter is if you can get confused between a black skyline and a white one you must be pretty dumb.

Wise words from a 20 year old kid from the UK, trying to tell an Australian Skylines Forum about one of the most famous GTRs in Australia uh.gif

You guys should really lighten up.

... and you should really take your own advice. We didn't even flame you for it, we just commented how your post came out of nowhere and didn't really pertain to the thread at all.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
