Exactly, Jerry. There is more to it than just max power. I bet you that 33 makes more average power than one with a higher peak power figure.

You are right Charlie high average power is what you want not just peak .

The other thing is if we take it to another well known dyno it will make around 380 kw on all 4 .

Another vote for Ben at Bel's here :rofl:. Like wrxhoon peak power figures aren't the most important thing . My car was originally tuned by one of the above made 268rwkw on a 2wd dyno dynamics after the boys at Bel worked there magic it now makes 275rwkw by 4500rpm's at the same boost ;).

But like said times and trap speed are the real indication and the car managed to better it's previouse time on a 15deg hotter night and with a slipping clutch so thats what counts . Will be out there again hopefully soon and run the car to it's full potential .

Who pays the fine when they get caught speeding on the street doing a road tune?

At least they have one guy driving ( usualy Eric ) while Ben tunes it .

When i was in japan i saw this guy going out on his own with the laptop at 8 o'clock at night to tune this GTR on his own , scary .

ok guys who are where are BEL???

As for SAS....I will never ever go there...my brother can tell you all about the story of his 180sx after it got tuned at SAS.. Jim at CRD had to fix it...

As for Advan...know their GTRs do they???? I don't know about that...my mate had a problem with his 4wd system in his GTR and he took it there...They made him buy over $1000 in parts for nothing...Also gave him a big bill for their "diagnosing" after not being able to fix it. He took it somewhere else who found the problem in half a day..turned out be some be old worn wires....

Anyway I deceided to stick with who I know and got the car tuned at CRD yesterday...

so the car was tuned at CRD did you stay with it and watch what Jim did? did you have a lot of work to have set up like cams? cam gears? PFC? or was it just a retune for something minor?

I personally am going to go to CRD but will need someone that knows GTSS turbos and tomei cams on the GTR....

BEL's road tune is ~ $360-400. Dyno tune can be arranged as well - they have to hire at the moment, though that will change when they move. My previous car with PowerFC was tuned by them, and current car with HKS FCon SZ also tuned by BEL. they are the only ones who will ever touch my ECU :D

They tuned my R33 GTR with Power FC, JUN Cam gears, stock airbox, 3inch exhaust and hi-flow turbos. At the moment its got the boost restrictor removed so its running 14psi. It made 225-230kw@4wheels. Jim advised that the turbos aren't in their effeciency range till above 16psi. As a quick test he ran about 17psi through them and the result was 254kw@4wheels. He reckons the car will make alot more and so next time I go there, they'll fit the Apexi Power FC electronic boost controller, 550cc injectors and retune. There will be no charge for the retune...I'm happy at this boost level anyway but it will be interesting to see what he can safely get from it - aiming somewhere between 260-270kw@4wheels.

so the jury is still out? I am sitting on the fence of a BEL or CRD tune.... where do BEL do a dyno tune? and what sort of $$$ are we talking to the combo road + dyno?

I just want someone that knows there crapola and can sort out a car with a lot of new mods...

its going to have

GTSS turbos

greddy pipes

700cc injectors

blitz boost comp

tomei 260 260 poncom cams

RB20 AFMS

so it is going to take a switched on digger to get it all running in sync :D

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
