i've been reading alot of posts about 200rwkw 33's with stock ecu and turbo. i rekon its bullshit. im running the same mods as these guys, including the 12psi boost and i get 170rwkw. id love to line up beside on of these so call 200rwkw stock ecu'd cars.

no shit.. its just the young'uns who take it to "kens dyno tuning" and they tweak the graphs to make it look like they're just tuned it up to give big figures.. shootout mode - add another 10% or so.. .. whatever other tricks they use like temp correction, etc (?) 10%.. etc. Or they just tune for peak power somewhere around 150km/hr which isn't really of much use to anybody.

1995 and later ECU can go a bit better before requiring aftermarket management.. but still..

Mine got anywhere from 165rwkw to 190rwkw the few times it was stuck on different dynos. Pretty much exactly the same setup...

I know I have said my car had 200rwkw once but i really thought it did that was like 2 yrs ago when i first got my car. im sure my car would struggle to pull 120rwkw bahahaha :Oops:

wish i could go watch.. but going to do absolutely sweet FA tomorrow.. on my day of rest..

once i get some small stuff fixed on my old car i'll take it out on the track i reckon.. why not :D its not like I would be devestated if i wrote it off :D

yeah.. i think most ppl go through that phase at first "oh my car does xxx", but get over it a bit over time.

so yours is still having some probs?

We asked for the figure to be manipulated on the dyno when sinbad got tuned, but they guy wouldn't do it. We wanted to make it so we got 1hp more than Melv for shits n giggles. But the guy (Matty Spry) would have no part in it.

I can understand why, so we weren't too dissappointed

yeah not sure my car doesnt seem as bad as it was, just not feeling to full force that you would expect from 12 pound.

just needs a good service and tune

yeah.. mine was like that for a while.. then autotek tuned it up pretty nicely.. then got to drive it for about 2 weeks like that.. then sold :D always the way.

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
