no i mean as is... people are getting higher numbers that yours. isn't yours on a fairly "conservative" tune?

[UNR33L]

oh, yeah timing is completely standard, not retarded at all. I'm happy with how it is at the moment, any more aggressive tune and i'd want some new injectors first.

What kind of level do they start breaking things? Shafts, Gearbox etc?

Like a daily driven R33 you want to keep under 300rwkw if you don't want to constantly be throwing money at it for repairs...

[MrWindsurf]

Just a lazy 4.6 million Km on this merc

engine and gearbox seem fine, people running ~500rwkw no issues

only issue is 400rwkw + mark with sticky tyres and generally manuals break tailshaft / drive shaft on a launch then replace with some stronger aftermarket components.

Yeah, that is thin.
