Forgive the terminology, maybe I will get it later on

Well bs is still alive in the carsales industry and why am I supprised :verymad:

The R34 I am buying that was supposed to be able to be tuned to 700HP to 800HP could not make 400HP. It could not get enough boost to kick the turbo off.I think he said it was only about 12 lb., it was about 200KW :(

Had it on the Dyno today and found out I need a turbo boost controller and new cam once the turbo controller was installed to be able to take the power it was capible of acheiving , Mmmmmmm :verymad::yucky:

Trouble is learning can be an expensive business :pirate: Grrrrrrrrrr!

What makes you think you can achieve 700+ HP? What Turbo are you running? Is that your engine bay in your avatar? looks like you have a high mount single?

Going from 200KW to 350+ with just a change of boost controller is highly doubtful... Unless you can tell everyone what the specs are of your engine...

Thanks for your input guys, I have paid the deposit and signed the contract, I am not worried about that, the car is worth it to me, I just get sick of being crapped to.

The motor work was done by Croydon Racing Developements and from what I found out about them they know what they are doing.

The car had $42K SPENT ON THE MOTOR , too many things to write and most of it I do not understand but here are some of the mods; GikenT78 Single turbo kit, OS quad Clutch, push /pull kit, Koyorad radiator , custom made catch tank, Z32 air flow meter', ,nitto h beam connecting rods; je/nitto rb 26 forged pistons, nitto rb series high volume oil pump, 9 lt sump conversion, machine work on engine block, engine rebuild- hand file rings ect, bosch fuel pump ; and all of the other bits and peices that needed to be done.

That is not counting stuff that Advan Performance did, I think they know their stuff.

So there was alot of money spent and the work was done by people in the performance business. I feel OK about the car, well I love it :thumbsup:

I do not know very much about getting a R34 up and running and I maybe wrong, but 600HP, I will soon find out?

Some of the parts should give someone an idea of the type of work done on the engine, no thoughts on what was done to the engine can get up to 600hp ?

When the cam and boost control have been fitted and after the final tune mid next I will take a photo of the Dyno readout and post it

A bit late it seems.....

They just added the Boost controller and Dyno done, 338 AWKW ,so nowhere near the sales pitch talk.

Spoke to the bloke at CRD and he said it is a good unit and if I wanted more from it i would need to update the fuel system and a new cam and they could lift the performance, think that will be enough for me for a while and see what I want to do in the future .

So I will pick it up on Saturday and see how it goes on the 330 kls ride home , should be fun :action-smiley-069:

Normally when those figures are thrown around it means that the engine is capable of making that power given all the supporting mods are in place.

You clearly didn't do much research into what you bought, u just saw a big parts list n they told you this n that and you were none the wiser.

Without a complete fuel system including surge tank and external pumps it's never realy gona make over 400kw (540 hp).

Mine maxed out at 401kw

Also a fuel system from croydon is not cheap, I know from experience as they built mine.

So unless your going to spend cash on a fuel system and upgrade to e85 your not going to see over 550hp

Also who builds a forged motor with all that and doesn't even put in a simple boost controller?

Also a Gtr has camshafts (there is 2 of them)

If it didn't have a set of basic aftermarket cams in there all ready then I'd take it that no head work was carried out at all and now even less likely to make 7-800hp

also 800 at the wheel/ dyno hp is a f**king monster. do you want that sort of power, do you understand what that is like to drive and maintain?

if you get a solid reliable 450-500 atw then you have got to be happy.

sorry to say it again but if your not sure on whats what with the parts list then a 7-800hp car might not be the best idea to chase.

do you like driving it? is it a good car? then drive it love it and be happy with a good purchase.

i can say my rb25 is capable of 800hp.......with $200k

Ontop of that it would be boring as hell to drive everyday as with that power you are not seeing boost in the rpm you spend most your time in on the road, when I drove a 500kw gtr on the road it really felt boring compared to a 350kw one that is until you go past 5-6k lol.

      R34 Handbrake light saying ON and intermittently flashing

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
