Hey people, I bought a skyline with a lot of mods but have yet to get it dyno'd so i have no idea what kw's its putting out.

I've listed what its had done and hopefully some1 can tell me possibly what power it could be putting out and any estimated times likes 0-100 km/h, quarter mile. I know nothings rock solid till I get papers to prove. Im after a sheer estimate.

The car is:

r33 GTS25T 95' Series I

GTR Front Mount Intercooler

GTR Fuel Pump

T3/T4 Highflowed VL Turbo

Apexi S-AFCII *yet to be tuned at Croyden 'Racing Emotion' will get Dyno before and after*

GReddy Profec B Boost Controller

Blitz Dual Turbo Timer

3" Exhaust

High Flow Cat

MegaFlow Muffler Twin 2" Tip

Pod Filter

Blitz Open-Atmosphere BOV

Brass Button Clutch

Locked Dif

Light Racing Rims

9.5" Wide Rear Tires

Lowerd 3" Inch *Estimated*

Strut Brace

Always run Optimax 98 Octane.

Stock ECU *Yes, PowerFC soon, Autronic would be nicer*

Max Boost 10psi because of Stocko ECU.

I'll have to get it on strips soon. Have to get 3-point belt first right?

Anyway anyone who has similar mods and any times, or readings would be great.

Cheers:run:

JimX, can you please explain why you dont agree that the Autronic is not nicer then the PowerFc

uh, oh ... i can see another ECU debate brewing ;)

Depending how the SAFCII goes with the static ignition timing i think you will make about 220rwkws with more to come with the management sorted...provided your T3/4 is a good thing

I didn't say the Autronic wasn't a better ECU. I was looking at his mods which are very mild, and wondering why he thinks an ECU geared up for racing cars would be "nicer". I'm not sure, but doesn't it ditch your climate control along with many other aftermarket ECUs such as Motec? This could have been something they've fixed, but I seem to remember way in the past reading that it didn't support the Skyline's climate control.

For a mild car, all I can see in an Autronic would be a higher initial purchase cost, higher tuning costs, a limited number of tuners that could do it, and potentially no more climate control. "Better" argument aside, I still can't see how it is "nicer".

Ahhhh great estimates, thanks.

I have done 0-100 in 6.01 with 1 passenger at 10psi, granny shifting with a stop watch.

I was a little disappointed with that thinking i would get into the 5's possibly a little easier. I would have to get into Mid 5's if i was running 10psi, No passengers, and Double Clutching. You can really feel the difference even with one passenger.

As for Quarter Mile. I did a street quarter mile at an approx 13 sec with 1 passenger, 10psi, granny shifting. I believe i'd get into mid to low 12's if no passengers, double clutch.

One Last Question. If I got my new ECU and say boosted to 14 - 16 psi. What type of rwkw and Quartermile times could i get then. Would we be talking about low 12's, high 11's would be nice. The difference between 7 and 10 psi is huge. That extra 3 psi gives me 20km/h higher speed in 2nd gear. So if i had another 4 - 6 pound. I'd imagine it'd really start flying then.

Yeh good point, I wouldnt get a Autronic for 2 reasons in my situation. 1. The price. 2. I'd have no use for my T Timer or Boost controller no more. Autronic handles all that. Its funn adding parts here and there to your car. There's a place i seen who said they'd do an Autronic for me for like $3000 or something, they great mechanics, but I'd just go the PowerFC coz all up you can buy 1, have it installed and tuned for around $1600. I never knew that about Climate Control? Surely the new models wouldnt have that problem, anyway who cares, i aint getting one.

The difference between 7 and 10 psi is huge. That extra 3 psi gives me 20km/h higher speed in 2nd gear.

Thats odd, as the top speed in each gear is restricted by the rev limit, unless you were shifting earlier, and changing boost wont change your rev limited

As for Quarter Mile. I did a street quarter mile at an approx 13 sec with 1 passenger, 10psi, granny shifting. I believe i'd get into mid to low 12's if no passengers, double clutch.

You should go a lot faster if you dont double clutch, you only need to double clutch a non-syncro gearbox, like an old truck or something.. meaning push the clutch in, let it out when its in neatural and blip the throttle, push the clutch back in and finish the gear change...

hahaha u think u would run quicker 0-100 times if u were double clutching?????

I think u mean flat shifting????

double clutching? wtf? i think you've been watching a little too much fast and the furiNAWS.

vin diesel's granny shifting speech was full of crap and didn't make sense... oooh..

Hmmm Ok. Firstly Yeh. I usually run standard 7 psi. Which gives me 80km/h in 2nd at around 6500 rpm. when i use boost controller and put it up to 10psi, i can do 100km/h in 2nd gear at same rpm 6500

As for doubleclutching. Have you even tried it? It really kicks you in to the back of your seat surges the car forward. The difference between 'flat' shifting and double clutchin in 3rd and above makes quite a difference. Certainly gets you do the next gear quicker.

This thread is great!

Must be all that "double clutching" which is changing your gear ratios on the fly dude!

Correct if im wrong...double clutching is depressing clutch entering neutral releasing clutch...get the sybnchros moving then depress clutch and enter gear...gas on..?

Thats not what u do in a drag...u just quick shift or flat shift

Yes Vin Diesel what you were told to say in the script is WRONG.

Please explain to us what you think double clutching is????

Dude the car does Nkm/h at Xrpm regardless. You will not change this without changing the gear ratios in the gearbox or the diff.

    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
    • So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg
