Steve, i think the reason why some people find the results abit fishy is because there have been a few cars with high hp power readings with no track time or not equivalent times with less then the usual mph. Every one has different views and im just writing what i seem to notice.

ps: jezrrr great results from such little modifications.

Cant deacrease scanned image of dyno graph sizue enough to attach.

Its a nice power curve though.

I will get 300RWKW out of these turbos BUt first need bigger injectors (currently running at 90% max) and will be getting stage 1 HKS cams (264 int 264 ext).

May upgrade to GTSS turbos later but want to see what I can get out of the stockers which, in the GTR 34's, are steel wheels and ball bearing.

steve & jezzrrr

you never mentioned what boost you guys ran? I't would be good to see the dyno, & your af ratios also..

ps: steve... so touchy mate :relax: like you say, we here are probably just a bunch of keyboard warriors :D no hard feelings... it makes for a good comparison when we can compare apples with apples....! not dyno queens running 20psi on stock turbos, with af ratio's bordering detonation... that's all..!

Dont mean to interupt your thread but seeing as tho i got a 34 i thought it would be good to compare results.....I got 245kw with 1 bar boost,ganador cat back pipe,japanese "Sift" rewritten ecu...the rest was all standard...i then fitted HKS manifolds,HKS dumps,GT2530's and a trust plenum and at 1.1 bar boost got 298kw.Now fitted HKS cams and gears havent fitted the engine yet so havent dynoed yet....still has the standard front pipe which i will replace after a short dyno run when its running again

but want to see what I can get out of the stockers which, in the GTR 34's, are steel wheels and ball bearing.

Jeremy

Be careful about that assumption though they are ball bearing....

I am running 1.2 bar of boost.

The turbos are safe at that level. "Mr HKS" has acheived some awesome ressults on his R33 GTR. He is getting 421 RWHP with GT SS's @ 1.1 bar of boost !! He has some very nice other mods but is not even running hot cams. He was getting 400 RWHP before moving to the GTSS's so theres some room for improvement.

Ken,

ive heard different things about whether theyre steel or not but the consensus is that they are at least from what ive been told  

Jeremy

N1's yes , std no.

btw , that came from Mr Jun when I was talking to him about some R34 terbs at Speedworks about 12mths ago

Cheers

my r34 gtr made 248rwks with mines ecu, pods, exhaust and 1.2bar.

ran 12.8 at 109mph at willowbank with 1.90 60 ft... but didnt really pull that well top end with the mapping in the mines ecu...

so your 278rwks is great , should do a mid 12 if you launch it hard...

since then have gone a little silly fitted hks2530's & hks dumps, 700cc sard, nismo fuel pump and reg.z32afms and super induction kit, power fc....

hope for high 11 or low 12 now even on close to base map in the power fc.

i will be going to the track soon if it stops raining in brisbane everyday....

I will be launching it hard but will have to wait till the HKS twin plate arrives. Those times are pretty decent, what pwoer are you getting now with the 2530's, did you consider the GTSS's ?

Gav Beer from these forums R32 R made 272rwhp on my dyno and ran 12.7, Ask him.

An R33GTS made 306rwhp and ran 12.3. GOTBOOST from this forum ran high 11s in his GTS with 344rwhp on my dyno.PSI2FLY ran 11.5 in a Silvia with 360rwhp.Ian balls SR powered rail ran 8.5 with with 302rwhp, Glen robinsons ford ran 9.1@156mph with 420rwhp in a 1300kg car.Geoff clarks Charger ran 11.4@114mph with 307rwhp,The 1UZ powered Celica from Zoom last year ran 9.1 with 522rwhp as a street car.A XC falcon street car ran 11.18 with 312rwhp,A GTS ran 13.4 last weds with 270rwhp,ND4SPDs Datto 1600 made 440rwhp and ran 11.7@130mph with wild wheelspin and his GTR ran 11.4 with 387rwhp.Simon Nattalotto from this forum ran high 12s with 285rwhp in his GTS, Racetunes Escort ran 13.2 with 170rwhp.Neil rassmussens 2.2 ton 4wd urvan ran 14 with 300rwhp etc etc etc plus we have 20years of outstanding track and rally results so the Dynos very accurate.

how do you like them apples, :(

(meshmesh not having a go just couldnt resist that one liner)

Hi guys Steve-SST has kindly posted some interesting times and power for Skylines (I have taken the liberty of adding rwkw for the metric minded). If we pick out say 5 Skyline examples and we all put down our own personal experiences, maybe we can shed some light on this……

1. “An R33GTS made 306rwhp (240 rwkw) and ran 12.3.”

2. “GOTBOOST from this forum ran high 11s in his GTS with 344rwhp (260 rwkw) on my dyno”

3. “A GTS ran 13.4 last weds with 270rwhp (205 rwkw)”

4. “GTR ran 11.4 with 387rwhp (290 rwkw)”

5. “Simon Nattalotto from this forum ran high 12s with 285rwhp (215 rwkw) in his GTS”

How does this compare with others’ experiences? No BS please, real timeslip and dyno numbers only.

As an update - Ive just come back from racepace where my car produced 255rwkw @ 15psi boost. We didnt want to increase the boost right now as the car is heading out to Phillip Island next weekend and 15psi is safe for the stock turbo's there.

But there was a power increase of 20rwkw when we upped the boost from 14psi to 15psi so I could see a figure very similar to that produced by jezzrrr @ 1.2bar.

So I got a nice 77rwkw gain by changing over to the power fc, adjusting the cam gears and a slight increase in boost. Very happy with that. And the power delivery is so smooth now. :P

LOL - your car has taken longer than mine. And it was still in bits this morning! My car was meant to be there LAST tuesday but only made it today. So good luck with getting it there on Friday! :P

Dyno took a couple of hours I guess. Didnt pay 100% attention to exactly how long as we were there for ages (I had to run Gerald around to try and find a M7 bolt) plus the cams hadn't been adjusted or the power fc fitted before we got there. And Im not sure as to cost considering I've also had a new clutch, plugs, oil cooler and pads as well as the power fc and cams fitted this last fortnight - and Im not sure of the exact individual breakdown of costs involved. I just know Im broke now.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
