My mate had -9's stock 34 GTR bottom end, cams, head studs and made 360ish kw at 26psi if I recall

Do head studs and keep boosting till there's nothing left

Don't think you will go over 26psi with such small rear housings

I've seen another 2 that were reported as making 370s one on 98 and the other on e85

Given what was said about the position on the comp map etc, I can't imagine it would make more than 350 or so, but then again you made that on -7s... Tuner did say his dyno tends to read a bit lower than the other locals.

Cams help top end a fair bit.

Seems head studs are a wise investment though. Saves replacing the whole gasket which is a flamin mongrel of a job in a CA, so would be heaps worse in a 26.

If you made 348 on -7s, is it not reasonable to think -9's could make 10-30 or so kw more?

Genuine question, not baiting etc.

I realise different dynos, different days etc.

Stock manifolds, exhaust is Midori dumps then 2x3in into 3.5in the rest of the way, can't remember where the cam gears are set, haltech plug in and full boost is before 4000rpm

Similar to me then. N1 manifolds, HPI 3" dumps into 3.5" front pipe and 3.5" the rest of the way. Same ECU. Full boost seemed laggier to me though. I will do some proper plotting to confirm though.

Yes I realise -9s are bigger/laigger and also that larger ports in the N1s will not assist response.

The extra power is just a nicety and something to keep me happy. The pods is the same, make it noiser and more dramatic/fun to drive. Same as removing the mid muffler, more noise, more fun.

I can get a video when it dries out enough for me to get it out of the shed and drive it.

How power feels from one person to the next is relative, 330rwkw in a 1500+kg car isn't that much. Some of the "drama" is also lost purely because the 34 hooks up so well. I could put cheese cutter tyres on it and do mad skids everywhere and it would be more exciting to drive lol

Haha, I will be for the next tune if I do this.

Even still, I was surprised to find how little, as in almost zero, front drive was being engaged through the hill run. More an indication of how much harder I could have pushed grip wise. It only has ATR Sports on it, but they're 275 so even if they're a cheap tyre, there's plenty of it. Probably on par with a half decent 255 which is all my old one had on it.

Mine start pushing coolant on 20psi e85 350kw or so.

Just do studs and gasket while engines out save doing it twice like me.

why would he be taking the engine out?

Didn't I say head studs a page ago?

we all have

I don't think you have pushed the car hard enough yet to enjoy it. I know in my 32 with 265 z221 hankooks its grips like mad through the hills but if you push hard enough it will still step out. That was with 332kw with -5 dinosaurs.

Owned and driven a few fast cars but the GTR keeps me happy. Don't get me wrong evo's are great but it's not the same driving one.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • 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 馃槀 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.
