-7's on 98 wont make 320-330

or

-7's on ethanol wont make 367

or both?

on top of Dyno's being a tuning tool.

Never had same results from different shops. I have Dyno charts that vary by 50kws

R/R seems average for ESP

Shoot 6F not 8 as it is sometimes to give better readings.

I don't know the capability of -7's on ethanol. What is their max?

Look Team,

Iv'e had heaps of fast cars, and this one seems nice and punchy. Even if it's within 10% who cares... It's still a built GTR.....That runs on Ethanol and a Haltech.

Feel free to meet me on the 24th of Jan at Wakefield for the fifth gear trackday. I'll be there as per usual, not hating on a keyboard.

Cheers. James

Great power James. You were a monster on the track day and given this power you'll be hitting 1:06's on the 24th? haha

Don't worry about the haters, everyone is going to have their opinion with a select few actually giving a thumbs up. I think people take it personally when a tuner gets more power out of something someone else couldn't. Should've seen what people said when I got a PowerFC as an ECU haha !

Might come down and watch on the 24th :)

not hating.

just saying that dont be disappointed when it doesnt run 130mph at the strip.

Also

esp is at 1800ft elevation and its summer.

so add 6% to that power figure for sea level conditions....makes it 390rwkws....

from -7s @23psi

but is wasnt the peak figure that made me say -5s it was the shape of the curve

not sure why everyone is on the defensive bandwagon lol isn't the whole point of a forum is to share info so we see what setups work for others, nice GTR much better track car than the 4 door :nyaanyaa:

Exactly,

I'm not trying to take anything away from James' car.

Id be happy to own it myself.

But when a dyno sheet pops up with 40kws more than every other -7 2.6 setup out there, and there are lots, there will be people who ask questions.

When I went searching for results for E85 on dash 7's I couldn't find any. Most peeps seem to go bigger, but they were already on the car so why not give it a crack.

Obviously I had it flex tuned and on 98 it made 300kw which seems normal. Perhaps -7's just respond well to E85.

As this was my old car I can confirm the -7's. The higher compression pistons probably help too. As for dynos when this car was running 98 it made 310kws at JEM and 296kws at ESP, so i belive it. Also wish I had gone the E85 route now....

Happy to see you looking after the car man.

Yeah but what we find here is arm chair experts that have never owned a GTR in their lives basing opinions on what they've read rather than real results.

It's not that different from results i had with -7s from a totally different workshop. I wasn't on E85 yet I had significant more work than most people with those turbos (head work, cams, 2.8 etc).

^^ Hey Shaun,

Well, I was told by ESP that the center diff, or is it transfer case, needs some love, (a change of fluids) and is causing the wobblieness on the graph, so maybe do both at once? haha

But really right now it is frighteningly quick as is. Very different car now. The E85 makes it come on boost a lot quicker and ramps harder.

Feel free if you want to come visit, and i'll take you for a spin.

James

    • 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?
