Just Had Car Dyno'd

[Deziner]

Well I finally had my R33 GTR put on a dyno and slightly tuned. It is stock except for boost restrictor removed and slight timing adjustment.

I bought it when I was living in Perth about a year ago, which is where I had the initial tune done.

Before tune and boost restrictor removed it made 230hp at all four wheels.

After they removed the restrictor it made 288.2hp (214.99kw) at all fours.

Having moved to Canberra, different elevation and temp etc. I thought I would have it re-tuned.

Tonight it made 297.71hp (222kw) at all fours.

Feels slightly different in the way boost comes on but very happy. Not big numbers I know....But one day maybe! ; )

Well done - I'm certain your GTR will like the elevation and winter

Which local shop Tuned it ?

and by the way - Welcome to Canberra

[TiTAN]

if its stock except for a boost increase they cant tune it, they can advance the cam sensor and thats about it.

[Deziner]

Sinista32,

Cheers. Had it tuned at Ultimate Tunes in Phillip.

Sure seems to like the cold!

TiTAN,

Yes stock, so I think they spin the CAS?

It doesn't feel quite as torquy down low but has more in the top end now by the feel of things.

Get nistuneeeee

do it!

[Deziner]

Kasko,

I was looking at FCon etc. but was going to wait until I replace the exhaust and turbo's.

[Manuel Kasko]

When I looked at fcon people said no something to do with not many tuners. Can't really remember.

What's your plans with the car?

[Deziner]

Plans are:

• Replace stock turbo's
  
• turbo's back exhaust system
  
• Cams and cam gears
  
• Fcon Pro
  

Will do turbos and exhaust first and at the same time, then get the other stuff done. Unless I win that $50 million lotto draw!

Not looking for extreme power. Something super responsive.

  Not looking for extreme power. Something super responsive.
  

As someone who has done this (and still doing it), I'd suggest a couple of stages.

Stage 1

Part 1

Turbo's -9, -7 -5 (the smaller the better if you want response) GT'SS good but not worth twice the price of -7's

Exhaust including dumps and high flow cat

I think this should be able to be done without needing a tune, if it needs a tune save the money and get a computer (part 2)

Part 2

Computer, Haltech or Vipec most common and easy to work on with great support in Australia, unsure on the HKS Fcon pro, your choice.

Cam gears

Tune

Expect 260-280kw, fuel being your limiting factor.

Stage 2

Injectors, EG IDC1000

Fuel pump

Fuel regulator

Cams (if you want them)

Tune

Expect 320kw, depends on how hard you want to work the stock engine, this set up is good for much more power with more boost.

Stage 3

Full suspension approx $5000 in new parts + labour

Upgraded brake discs and pads DS2500 or Nismo's highly rated

Stage 4

big brake kit (optional if you find you need it) EG $5000 AP front kit

Stage 5

Rebuild

Stage 5 can happen any time

Most here can recomend ESP and Trojan (more good news then bad news anyway). Budget at least 20% more money then quoted for unknown problems that need to be fixed at the same time.

[Sinista32]

^ agreed ^

[Deziner]

Thanks for the info, much appreciated.

They found a couple little things during the service that I want to get sorted first, such as cracked CV boots etc.

[Shuyin]

Always with the cracked CV boots, In the space of a fortnight I had 3 boots fail on me, also 3 wasted inspections at Deakin

[Deziner]

Yeah not sure why. I had the same thing happen on my XT Forester as well as a front drive shaft.

Maybe its an all wheel drive thing!

[Shuyin]

It could also me the change from sydney to canberra. The good news is that rust shouldn't be an issue anymore.

[Deziner]

Yeah not likely to get any rust down here, unless its from salt during snow season! LOL

The CV boot cover and CV joint in my XT went during a drive from Sydney to Airlie Beach in Qld when we moved up there. The car started to shake at Mackay so nursed it all they way to Airlie Beach.

I actually think it happended on one of the caine rail crossings as we were fully loaded down and hitting them at about 120-130km's.

[a20089]

Deziner, I'll be out tonight if you want to see what I've done to my car.

[Deziner]

a20089,

I just saw your post.

Would be good to catch up some time and meet and see what you have done with your car.
