exactly 206kw at the motor for sure :D

There is plenty of disagreement about whether 2wd vs 4wd makes much difference. I've never run them back to back 2wd/4wd but I have had the same car dynoed at different places with the same tune and found up to 20kw difference.

And flywheel to wheels loss also comes with some controversy. Some claim about 25% loss from flywheel to wheels, but personally I guess it is mostly a fixed amount, not a simple%...otherwise a 1000kw car would be loosing 250kw in the drivetrain :teehee:

I'd work on an estimate of 30-50kw loss, but flywheel kw really don't mean much....it's what you put to the ground that matters ;)

BTW....191awkw for a dead stock gtr sounds pretty right to me. Great result considering it's 20 years old.

BTW Bob, is your car an ex-Kerry Packer car, or another one?

Another one ...... Mine was a 1 owner I bought late last year. Mark set it up for me so he can confirm exactly its credentials.

My mate looked at one of the Packer cars but unfortunately it didn't have the original motor so he passed.

He too bought a one owner from Manly although his is tricked up a bit. I think his pulls around 260 awkws.

Cheers,

Bob.

supposebly RWD and AWD readings in GTRs are the same because of how the ATESSA works

4th gear runs... dry dyno... no power would b going to the front wheels...

Except the Attessa detects the front wheels aren't spinning and sends power to the front wheels to make them spin...

There is no direct correlation between awkw and rwkw. You cant say that an evo, for example, making 200awkw will make 250rwkw and that 300rwkw = 250awkw. Flywheel power is not really useful for us, as said above, its what you lay on road. I had some guy at CRD(not a worker, some dead shit dynoing his twin turbo awd mitubishi something). He made 140awkw. My skyline made 225rwkw, he walks up to me and goes "my car is 4wd so as a 2wd it will make about 280. I think he thinks that he is losing 50% power on the front wheels turning...

RB26DETT from Nissan is quoted at 206kw. Ive read on wiki I think that Nissan may not be truthful with this figure though and that it might be more as they needed to list it as 206kw to be able to sell the car in Japan or something. I read something crazy like that somewhere, I'm not too sure. If you have advanced your timing a little and your engine is healthy, it should be making close to 206kw, maybe more, at the flywheel. Given the age of the engine and the quality of fuel here, it could vary.

The drivetrain loss would be a combo of both a fixed amount and percentage (or inverse log, or some such). Anyway I use 15% loss then add 10kw.

4WD is probably another 5% or so.

So (191awkw/0.85 + 10)/0.95 = ?

We all know that the 206kw was always BS so I'd say 247 is probably pretty close to the mark with boost restrictor removed and 2-3 degree additional advance......

Bob.

EVO/STi are full time AWD, so it's affected much between all and rear wheels.

A GTR isn't as ATTESSA works differently, it also does not send as much to the front.

Most GTR's will have pretty close awkw & rwkw figures, often they can be the same. Variance either way generally minimal unless you have rebuilt transfer cases that are a bit tighter. In that instance it tends to soak a bit more as it locks up more.

I was gonna mention that too.

Regardless, it's hard to make an accurate correlation between power at the wheels compared to at the flywheel - there are too many variances to factor in: fluids in gearbox, diff and transfer cases; loss of efficiency in CV and uni joints; tyres (including compounds and pressures); etc.

Oh, and because I'm pedantic, ATTESA is spelt with two T's and one S.

ATTESA (acronym for Advanced Total Traction Engineering System for All-Terrain) is a four-wheel drive system used in some automobiles produced by the Japanese automaker Nissan, including some models under its luxury marque Infiniti.

This is so far the best of these threads I've read. Putting a percentage is bs, but ignoring the power output in the calculation is also pretty uninformed. There is no formula between flywheel and the rubber wheels, but you could get a rough number if you took the engine out, measured flywheel torque, converted to kw, put the engine back in and did a dyno run.

There are a lot of variables between cars though, and dyno's aren't the most accurate of devices.

I have run my GTR in awd and rwd quite a few time on a dyno same day just flick the switch in the cabin for one run after it's fully tuned. The power in KW goes up by 18 to 28KW pending the heat of the day and heat soak in the motor/turbos.

What total outputs are you achieving?

interesting

What I've always wanted to know is what are R34 and R33 GTR drivers talking about when they say their car has XXX RWKW? Surely they aren't taking the driveshaft out of the transfer case to get these readings, and to my knowledge only the 32's AWD can be disabled by pulling a fuse. Is there a way to disable AWD in a 33/34 GTR?

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
