That Yellow R33 GTSt did a good run on the dyno. I think it was around 260Hp. I still can't get over that turbo Barina at 170 odd at the front wheels... WHY.

I reckon it was too loud. I tried to have a conversation with the head of the Soarer's club and we ended up yelling at each other and finally gave up!

260 is that all??? mine has done 240 at 10psi and was expecting 270hp after mods and 12psi. Even if mine was At 270 i wasn't going to put my car on the dyno as i was a bit embarrased what i was up against. the 34GTR and i thought that yellow one was doing mid 300Hp's.....I was wrong on that one

R32GTR that was there pulled only 220 at the REARS not all 4's!!! Hmmm something wrong there maybe needs to be tuned correctly??.....!!

After hearing all that maybe i could have had a dyno run...???

looking at some of the results from the dyno it looked like it was reading low but in the same proportions as it would if all the cars went on other dyno.

but 220HP@wheels is about 220KW@engine guestimatedly, plus the purple GTR was stock.

I ran one of my old GTR's on PSI's dyno and got 220 at all four with similar mods to Skyes 32 ( zorst, pods ,boost restrictor removed ) . Doesn't sound much but they do put it ALL to the ground well.

Some of the guy's there did say the dyno was reading hard for them and were disappointed with some of the numbers.

HEHEHE maybe they aren't used to true readings:lol:

With the GTR if they disable the front wheels and have just the rear wheels then should the reading be higher? I here that there is more of a HP loss with 4WD. With the GTR it only had it's rear wheels spinning and still got 220rwhp i was thinking of a bit more than that thats all. I thinnk it represented some Mad enhancements group.....Hmmmmm didn't look all that MAD to me..... :D

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
