I recently had a few mods done, eg plenum cooler and computer. Now my car only made 180kw at the wheels

I was wondering how different dyno's compare with read outs, Cause I have raced skyline's with 200-220kw and made a meal of them

So is mine makin more power than my dyno sheet is sayin

I ran it at calder and got 13.2 at 108.7mph

Does that seem right for a car with only 180 at the wheels

i ran 13.8 @ 104 with 2.2 60ft i think, and i had about 180rwkw maybe a bit less (at time of 1/4 run)

but mines auto and i couldnt stall up any higher than 2000rpm without the wheels spinning on the spot, ide say if you launched at 2000rpm you'd have a simialar time to me

so yeh, all looks good :)

Sorry not enough data to make a call. R32 or R33 or R34? GTST, GTR or GTT? Manual or Auto?

That's quite easy to do at the drags just from experience and knowledge. In some races you can make 0.75sec on the other driver just in reaction time and 0.25sec in 60ft time, so theirs 1 full second in the first 20m which has absolutely nothing at all to do with engine power. At 1 of my last drags I did I raced a forum member whom had around 250-260rwkw (180rwkw for me). I knew he'd get me easily in the TS so I made an extra effort to get off the line before him and make him run me down. As above I had him easily in the Reaction and 60ft and even by 3/4 track but in the last 100m when his turbo kicked in he blew past me like I was standing still. I did a 14.1sec and he did a low 13sec pass.

They are 2 completely different things.

A Dyno measures how much power your engine is making minus the drivetrain loss giving a result. It doesn't matter whether it's your mum revving out your engine or the guy from your local fish & chip shop as it is still going to give the same result on that dyno.

A 1/4 Mile drag race measures how good your suspension setup is, traction, accelleration, top end, driver ability, track preperation, weather conditions, experience, knowledge and how big your balls are.

I'd be pretty happy with that. I think 108mph (not knowing what your 60ft was) would be good for a 12.9sec pass though, hell I see torana's doing low 12's with only 108mph every wednesday night so its not the TS but more so the first 330ft is where all the time is made, after that it comes down to just pure horsepower.

I wish, i'm at ~180rwkw and can't for the life of me beat a 14.1sec :) I'm determined to break into the 13's before I sell my car though.

Holy hell - your dynos must read extremely low, or your tracks must be insane.....

I'm thinking it might be a bit of a combination. I did 14.1 @ 103mph with 2.35s 60ft time with 183rwkw in the manual GTS25t here, on a cold unprepped track and raced and beat all the other R33s present, as well as a manual twin turbo 300ZX.

Either your dyno read's high or the timing system of the track is out.

14.1 @ 103 mph indicates around 165rwkw's

183rwkw's you should be able to get mid to low 13's at 105 - 107mph - with good traction.

Sounds like your car is more towards the 195 - 200rwkw mark with 108mph at 13.2. - 2.5 60fter

And yes different dyno's can read differently - depending on calibration and air temps etc.

a lesson I've learn't lately is that peak rwkw doesn't meen that you are going to run a certain ET or mph at the track even if your launch and changes are up to scratch. Good ET's and even a nice high mph depends alot on your power curve and other things as such .

Take my GTR as an example currently making 270rwkw on a dynamic's dyno best ET and mph so far is 12.1@114mph with a 1.760ft and nice clean changes at the right rpms all the way down the track. Just looking at the peak power and comparing it with other r32 GTR's you would think it should be mid to high 11's at something closer to 120mph but it isn't .

7heavn, have you worked out what is up with your car and that time? Could the dyno be reading too high? How is the power made? Peaky or linear? I mean you are getting 1.7 60 ft's, so it really isn't lacking at the line. Is it running clean in the top end?

I just ran a few numbers on a calculator and came up with 11.88@114MPH, so the MPH is there, but the time is a bit out.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
