That would make sense, but a search around online says the figure varies considerably depending on the car (obviously).

But AWD autos have the most drivetrain loss, and figures I saw thrown around online were between 25-35% loss. If this figure is constant, which would make sense, maybe it's 25-35% off the stock figure?

exactly...I was gonna say so my car must be 370kw at the flywheel!!

AFAIK the loss is a constant figure, not a % which increases with power!

Correct it's a constant. If initial loss is say 35kw thats it. It doesn't multiply the loss as it makes more power. The amount lost can also vary depending what gear the car is tested in. So it's a highly variable figure and one I don't usually worry about.

Hey guys.........excuse me.........,m35 owners???

Less talk about killa wasps more about cruising, this isn't another" I can't tune my 35 because turbo is about to blow up" thread.

Back on topic please

Ok, lets resume our regularly scheduled program.

Are the C34s going to turn up or have they all rusted apart? :nyaanyaa:

Yesterday I picked up ours from the "Ding Shop"...now looking very "bling"

All the "cuts & bruises" have been repaired...not sure why the Japs put foam under the mirrors ?

....sure doesn't help long term preservation. Did they do it to the M35's ?

"them OLD folks"

Too early to organise a northern meeting point for a convoy to the dirty south? Parrofield airport carwash anyone?

Happy to meet at the carwash first :yes:

"the OLD peeps"

Must of been the year for bubs

satachi >>> olds>>>

im up for a carwash convoy at parafield.. when we thinking.. 9:00 7 leave 9;15 to get there by 10?

let me know

I'm not sure where the meet point is exactly yet...then we can work out how much time we need to get there

but 9am is OK with us ???....over to you Satachi ??

OLD Mark

If the meeting point is the same as the last cruise Robbie organised, leaving the wash at 9:15 should get us there in time.

Robbie can ya pass on the plan of the car wash meeting point to the northern leggys for us? Cheers

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
