Hi guys, the rub for me is quite simple, Munro's car does the numbers on the Tillbrook dyno and runs the times and speed commensurate with what the dyno says. Wilson's car does the numbers on the Willall dyno and runs the times and speed commensurate with what the dyno says. Theo's car does the numbers on the Croydon dyno and runs the times and speed commensurate with what the dyno says. Mark's car does does the numbers on the Sub Zero dyno and runs the times and speed commensurate with what the dyno says. David Lee's car does the numbers on the Ice dyno and runs the times and speed commensurate with what the dyno says. Bu5ter's car ran the numbers on the dyno and guess what...............

That's Qld, NSW, Vic and SA Skylines all doing times and speed that look something like the cars are capable of according to their dyno results, not once but hundreds of times. Readers can draw your own conclusions:cheers:

Ok,

How about this, Fair enough your car made the power… How about the other factors effecting its performance ? Eg how about a 7th injector plumbed into the intake ? or even a shot of Gas ?, what about the fuel ? running Bp sure, but did you add a pinch of toluene ?

Some of the factors that can really increase power on a Dyno.

I know tristans car quite well. there is no 7th injector , no shot of gas , runs everyday b p ultimate with nothing mixed in it .

When tristan goes down to the plex next week he will be able to show what his car is capable of hopefully . 440 odd rwhp dd in a r33 should see it do maybe 120-125mph and hopefully an 11 to go with it. At the end of the day its not setup for drag. Its his street driven car and will just try and get the best out of it.

Im with you SydneyKid ........

I always see/hear awesome dyno results but am yet to see one of these cars run a decent time.

LOL..why is it if you dont take it down the 1/4 mile ppl wave the "shiela" flag:)

While i respect those that are into drag racing it does little for me...i find myself wanting to do a pass just so if ppl ask i have an idea:)

Either way even if dyno figures are playing silly buggers, its still making great power, hell even if the dyno is reading 100hp high, the thing still has plenty of mumbo:)

Im with Joel, i want a magnifying glass and 20mins alone with the car...i want to know how it makes that power with std injectors:) (LOL...for the sensitive ppl, i dont doubt the result, im just intrigued how it gets there)

Anytime any of you are in WA bring on the magnafying glasses.

This is Steve-SST not paul.

LOL...be careful im banned from most workshops. Someone told me a good tale about mechanic rates, $60/hr if you drop off the car, $90/hr if you want to watch and $120 if you want to help. LOL...sounds about right to me:)

I am too interested whats being done to my car and why its done a certain way to the point that mechanics typically want to sedate me upon entering the premises:)

Magic1 is posting a tru shootout graph today.

I think what we have here is that if i cant do it they cant, but we do sorry.

We get told by the same ppl in WA all the time that our power is shit and the only test is Speedworks dyno then when we make more than we claim on it we are still talking shit.

Last year SK said GTS-ts car cant make the 411rwhp we claim then it went on the Speedworks dyno and made 436 and here we are again even tho Magic one has topped 400rwhp on 4 diffrent brand dynos.SK pick up your game.

Ok so it seems, that Steve-SST and Sydney Kid, are having a argument so, is this why this thread was created ? How about we get both Sydney Kid and Steve-SST, in a boxing ring and they can vent their disagreements out their ?

Instead of trying to prove who is better then who.

My theory is, if you want to prove who is better then who, in Car land, Don’t do it on a dyno, Do it on a 1/4mile with the same tyre setup and the same driver for both cars. Ohh yes and on the same Strip.

I don't think that that is the solution. What is wrong with two different people expressing both their ideas and views on a certain subject? No one is trying to prove who is better than who, and I doubt that a boxing ring will prove anything apart from punching ability (or lack thereof :(). I don't mind intelligent debate that benefits everyone as there are always different methods that can be taken to achieve a certain goal. Keep things civil and on topic and we can all learn from it.

I do, however, think that a 1/4 mile drag battle will be a good spectacle :D

My 2c with respect to backing up dyno figures with drag results (especially mph)...

With a tad less than 300rkw (400rwhp) and with a race weight of 1557kg (car was 1475kg on weigh bridge with full tank of juice, + my 82kg) I managed to run 120mph. And it was far from a perfect pass.

So based on the above info I think a 400rwhp GTS25t should be able to run well into the 120-125mph range. A 500rwhp GTS25t should be into the 130mph range. These estimates are based on a full weight car, so naturally any weigh reduction will help to increase these terminal speeds. It might take a few passes to achieve these speeds, but even an average driver should manage to do it eventually. I did and I can't drive for shit :(

my full weight R33 128mph constantly with 420hp

I thought you had more than 420 by the time you ran 128 traps Brett? Weren't you into 330+rwkw (440+rwhp) territory?

Just going off track slightly, how much did your mph drop on a poor pass? Say a 2.1-2.2 60ft but clean pass otherwise?

yep Matt I had 330rwkw never got to run it with the more power though before it dropped the ringland, to be honest all my 60ft's were bad hahaha that mph was done doing 2.0 60fts even with a 2.1-2.2 it didn't change more then 2-3mph

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
