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?

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
