sorry I can't get these messages and can't post because I can't get onto the message board, I think my internet has a problem or maybe it is the skylines australia website not working. Hang on, I'm trying to log onto Skylines Austria. Oh well you'll all have to wait until tomorrow to see if I can get this internet whachamacallit working.......

106rwkw at 5000rpm at 16psi apparently this is as much as a hotted up 5ltr HSV (cam exhaust, cold air) on his dyno. It was run in 5th gear.

This is a crap figure so you know I am not lying. There was no fan so the IC wasn't working (does that make sense.)

I have also had fitted a BOV that is set to 16.5psi, the turbo I got is not ceramic so it will go to 18psi.

Does anyone have a comment on how what dyno figures really mean.....?

He does it to simulate worst case scenarios for street cars IE 42 degrees start stop traffic on a freeway, but it doesn't help the wank factor of having some big bollocks number as your RWKW.

The problem was that the turbo blew up, I had to get a new one and then I was short a few parts because I bought something different than I thought it was... etc It had to have some major head work done too as it had lots of bits of turbo gone through it. So I am not complaining.

but if your in traffic your not going to be 5000rpm in 5th?? and in addition, if its 42 degrees, or just a generally hot ambient temperature day, you will probably take it easy or turn your boost down anyway ..

sounds very dodgey to me the general across the board thing is big bloody fan (to simulate the airspeed into your intercooler while you would be travelling along at 5000rpm!) and 4th gear as it is the 1:1 ratio as is mentioned thus its direct power to the ground through the diff. altho it will hit the limiter sometimes if you still have you, chances are your power curve will have started to drop by then anyway so it dun matter too much.

id say thanks to that guy for the help and go elsewhere that has a DynoDynamics Dyno which are the general across the board comparative dynos in australia now with the Shootout mode, and even not in shootout theyre very close now. so go somewhere else with a fan for $50 power run and see what you get in 4th gear.

thatd be more comparative to other pple i would assume !

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
