Now tha we have the track and drag tables. How a bout a horsepower one, similar to these. Proven power of course.

Split it up into engine catorgories : RB20DE, RB20DET, RB25DE, RB25DET, RB26DETT(and above ie 2.6-3.0 litres). Also a 4 & 8 cylinder class for those not as lucky as some.

Not sure if this thought is original, probably not.

This is very dependant on dynos... all it'll do is encourage people to dyno their car at the highest reading dyno in their area to get the best figure...

I think the 1/4 Mile and Racetrack lap times are much better units of measurement for comparing our cars...

Yep.Times rule.Dynos are for tuning.Tracks are for proving.

Besides, what good is 1000hp if you can't harness it & do what we all like doing - going heaps fast.

Often more power doen't make a car go faster.Power + traction+

good driving = killer times(drags or circuit)

Just my opinion.

I love the idea so long as "Dyno/Workshop Where Recorded" is a required field.

I think it'd be great.

Just cos you feel that 1/4 times or lap times are more important shouldn't preclude those with a raw hp bent from having their achievements recorded.

I'm all for it.

Adrian.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!

      Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.

      https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
