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.

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
