aw/rw = same shit anyway.

Not really but to certain extend yes.

There's someone I know of in Brisbane that dyno-ed his 32 GTR on rwd and awd mode the same day on the same dyno. The difference in reading is around 10kW. But the difference isnt THAT great and definately not worth the extra money for awd dyno tuning.

Thats prob why Racepace (Working on mostly GTRs) have only a rwd dyno instead of awd...makes sense...i always wondered why dont they have a awd dyno when all the GTRs are 4wd...

10kw is the same shit to me :P

Its been proven by a number of people with over 400rwkw/awkw that any differences are so negligebile its not worth splitting hairs over.

This is with a factory transfer case etc.

With a modified transfer case, its a different story but most punters are not in that category

Hi Guys,

Wanted to know that how much kW can you get on standard turbo and engine, but with below mods :

- Exhaust (Highflow)

- PowerFC

- Cam Gears

- Bleed Valve

Any idea anyone??? Car is GTR33....

Got 264.6rwkW after the above mods!!!!!

very impressed......

RPM cam gears supplied by racepace....

14psi boost and chris from racepace tuned it.....

nice....did the cam gears make much different? i am thinking of getting them too...but not sure of their exact use on the car yet...still due to researching that...lol

it makes difference.....

car accelerates and takes off faster than usual......

surely you have to get it dialed in once you fit it.....

ask chris at racepace....he'll let you know.....

thought it did make difference in response....but when i am rebuilding my engine to hold more power ill be putting the HKS variable cam in which come with cam gears too i think...so thats when i am planning to put them in...but still need to look around for the best combo i can use to make my baby "fly"...lol.. :P

You do know that HKS V-Cam is $5000 on its own, just for the variable timing.

Thats not including the 8-10k for the rebuild and all the rest :woot:

HAHAHA!!! YUP :P itll be done one day...if i get hands on a blown up RB engine to practise on..i might do it myself with my machanics guidance otherwise i am planning to spend around the 20k mark on the engine for my car to pull SAFE 400+awkw...might even make it a bigger block..but will do as my machanic instructs...then work on suspension and make is a nice quick track car..(my dream) :P

There was a test done with VCAM on/off lap times, didnt make much of a difference. But the test car already put out 650HP irregardless, so i guess the argument to have one is marginal

Yes i did watch that video when i was researching about the combo of mods i should do on the car...but the guy who tested it and the comparision video did show a VERY quick response time and the engine was able to rev much quickly with the Vcam on...thats why i am PLANNING to get that done too...but its still in the planning mode...when the time comes for me to do it, new things might arrive that might interest me...lol..

Try it on a different Dyno and you might get the same result, i wouldn't worry about that 20 odd kw differ.

+1...all dyno does give out different readings..so gives more others give less...if the difference is around 20 kw...its more likely both the cars are pretty equal in power...

and peak rwkw is a single figure at any one time

it hardly explains the cars acceleration and how it performs on the street

if johnny where you said it makes 232rwkw and the other makes 264kw

it could be dyno differences, how it is strapped down, air temp correction etc

as long as it feels quicker on the street its all good

the only comparison that is useful is your same car on the same dyno each time

when you do mods, you check before and after, as long as the power goes up, all good

its only if you add mods and get no gain then you need to check it

id perfer to make less rwkw (vs higher for bragging rights) and have quicker times

:) +1...spot on...numbers mean nothing as long as you can get the times better...and its only 20 odd kw diff...so nothing really to stress about...

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
