You will always get used to the power and want to chase more, it's just the way things are.

Remember that feeling of getting into your 200kw car and thinking it was quick? Well that's what 300kw will feel like for the first few months.

I'm running 250rwkw and to be honest it's really good for the street because I have a responsive turbo. I find it hard to even use 250kw on the street without breaking laws.

Exactly

I spent part of today in a Mclaren MP4-12C, i can tell you if it lays the power down well like the Mclaren, even 441Kw can get boring after a while. :)

Something with big cams and a big turbo hit of power can feel far more quicker and scarier, even though it wont be doing 0-100 in under 3 seconds......

I had 380 in the old 33, it was enough to destroy gearboxes but after a while even 380 is boring.

Was fun at the track and drags though.

I would say if you are looking for a powerful car you need at least over 400 with lots of torque all coming on by a least 4500.

Just remember that at that power level most of the drive train becomes a consumable.

As for chasing power, my latest car has around 85kwaw but handles like a go cart, and I think it's much more fun that way.

That +100kws will cost you around $3,500 (or more) depending on what modifications you have now.

He speaks the truth!

-standalone ECU

-fuel pump

-injectors

-intake

-exhaust

-intercooler

-AFM (depending on ECU)

And a tune of course.

Plus other bits I probably missed.

If you want 400kw for later then ditch that RB25 and get a 2J Supra, else you will have your money disappearing really fast once things break in the r33. Or have a built RB25 and still waste as much cash. Thats what my plans are for later once I get hold of a nice RZ Supra, not a big fan of the bulbuous looks though..

300kw on the street is quite quick. .. but you will still be done by Evos, WRX etc.

On the track or drag strip you will have to do some serious work on the tyres and suspension etc to take advantage of more power.

I never wanted 300kw to hose off anyone, it was the pure sound and ability to lay rubber like butter when the torque comes on, Evo's and

WRX's can be quick but sound boring to me.

Go to the drags and even a 10sec V8 or EVO gets boring, watching a pissed off RB is more exciting.

    • Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ? 
    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
