It's cool Jack, i know what you are getting at.

My point is, why see a power figure or a boost level and get fixated on it...? Without knowing any of the other variables, figures are just that : figures.

Don't forget, it is a business funded car promoting that business.

summoner,

Good on them all mate, but they are not the only ones that are doing it. There are workshops getting big hp on pump fuel across the country. Are you insinuating that, the Perth boys are a step ahead...? Cause that's the feeling i get from some of the posts, hence the reason i put that remark in ( ) in my previous post.

Emre, yeah I know what you mean, its just a figure at the end of the day!!!! I guess 1/4 mile times speak louder words than dyno figures.....

summoner- I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not but how is WA ahead of everybody else?? Is there any proof??? And you also say that you can comment from 'experience' and what you have seen.... At the age of 21???

dont most of the guys in wa use dynapac, we see dream figure coming out of the states also.

unless i see it  in the flesh, i take dyno figures witha grain of salt.

The best in the west certainly does not use dynapack and his dyno dynamics dyno is extremely accurate - if anyone can reduce a chart I will attach my latest chart (not the one below)

Jezzzr that you Jeremy with teh daily 33 and w/end 34? :rofl:

As said, the best in WA use DD units which have been accredited by DD themselves. Only speedworks use the Dynapack and 1 other workshop I think. Majority of places are Dyno Dynamics.

I agree with the SOTP dyno, works best since end of day something like dynapack, Dyno Dynamics, Dynojet and all the others are just tuning tools.

Jack,

I'm taking my car into ICE either this Saturday or Early next week (just waiting for the boys to let me know), see if you can have your car there the same time. To add a bit of spice to the showdown, lets put a wager on it "Winner Shouts".. in that case I'll have a bottle Chivas Regal Royal Salute, an espresso & maybe some dessert if you don't mind thanks :D

:)

yeah mate thats me.

On a serious note is anyone really claiming that one side of the continent has a mortgage on tuning ability ? I am certainly not buying into that sort of shit, at the end of the day its a science (and perhaps somewhat of an art) and the "formula" is available to all good tuners.

summoner - ready for battle!!!!! hehe

meshmesh - sounds sweet, let me know exactly when and I'll try and organise it... Do I hear a challenge?!?!? j/k

Well guys just got back from Calder tonight and if dyno figures aren't your cup of tea, well then heres the results form the 1/4 mile:

11.6 @119mph

Not a bad effort, was expecting mid to high 11's...

One thing I noticed was how hard it was to launch the bastard!!!! With the standard turbos I would normally launch it at 6.5 - 7k rpm, and it would more or less braek traction but tonight, it was bogging down hard off the line at about 7k rpm, and couldn't better a 12.3 all night, with 2.2 60ft times!!!!!

This became too frustrating so there was not much else to do than hit 8k rpm and side step the clutch!!!! and presto, an 11.9 followed by an 11.6 on the very last run...

Obviously being the 10cm version of the T517Z's, it wouldn't get boost off the line at around 7k rpm, causing it to bog down to 2k rpm, which resulted in 2.2-2.4 60ft times...

So therefore I might have to do something about the lag, not too keen on 8k launches, maybe adjust cam gears for low end power, or even change dump pipes, just to get the turbos boosting earlier....

    • Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.
    • Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
