I'm sure the dyno sheet would only tell half the story of how this thing behaves. Drive it through the hills with its tricky diffs and sticky tyres and it would be an absolute bullet. E85 and give it more boost through the middle would fatten it up even more but I'm not sure how much the peak figure would change.

Definitely want a drive!

Wish the speed reference was revs instead easier to read, anyone able to give rpm reference points?

That run would have been done in 3rd gear.

That's 22.5 km/h per 1000 RPM. (Close enough when factoring in tyre sizes)

90 km\h is 4000 RPM.

Why would anyone use 3rd, not even wheel/ tyres would simulate a proper 4th gear pull.

Wouldn't those dots on the map represent rpm points?

Last dot meaning 8k?

Out of interest, what makes you say it is in 3rd gear?

Because the dyno run went to 180 km/h which is the top of 3rd in a factory geared box. It's making peak power around 160 km/h which is 7000 ish RPM. If it was in 4th it's peak power would be like 5500 RPM (rough calcs) which isn't right.

Hmmm I just look at it again, I'm an idiot. Thanks.

I agree.

Real world experience In this car would be the only true testament.

Even if it doesn't make more than 360kw peak it would have such a absolute meaty power band.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
