You got a fair bit of power given the weight of your car. You should of taken the GT and SS not only high end but up to 100km/h as well.

I think traction / throttle control is my problem 0-100 even with 275s :) I see the car still near me so I open the throttle up more wanting it to go faster but I must still be wheel spinning, I’m concentrating too much to realise lol.

Had a clubsport trying to catch me from 50-100 the other day, I was running stock 7psi ‘not expecting to race’ & we seemed to be even ‘wish I was running 12psi :)

309.6hp = 230.87kW for ~1.3 tonne

Actually my car is supposedly 1390 kg, it was weighed when at the EPA, I'm not sure if there was someone sitting in there not when they got that figure, I assume while it was on the dyno getting tested for emissions 'which it failed 3 times lol' it was weighed.

I guess the skyline guys I talked to were right when they said that the problem with these gtsts are that there are quite a few out there with poor suspension/tyres therefore it doesn't matter how much more power they add to their car they can't launch properly. That probably explains why you do well up top when traction isn't an issue.

Are they R34 N1 turbos or R34 GTR turbos?

ok, just looked and I think the turbos say Garrett A/R T3, can't tell if its a T or a 3 tho...

Also what colour injectors?

The injector tops are a dark yellow/orange sort of colors

cheers

Ahh ok

If they have the A/R written on the front then they're not R34 N1 turbos unfortunately. Prolly just the 34 GTR ones.

And if they're a yellowy coloured injector top they're most probably standard.

Ahh ok ...

If the turbos have got an A/R rating on the front, then they aren't R34 N1 turbos.

They may well be R34 GTR items but you'd have to get them looked at.

And yellowy coloured injectors are the colour of the standard injectors

Hope that helps :rant:

My car has been dyno tuned yes... My power curve is as follows:

dyno_7.10.04.jpg  

I'd really like to know my torque.  On an old dyno sheet I had a peak of 3400 lb when I was making 292 rwhp, how you convert that into an estimated Nm I dont know!?

IT of 56deg?

someone has been playing with the figures a bit...

I just did a quick search and found that 1 ft.lb = 1.356Nm

so in your case 3400lbs = 4610.4Nm :rant:

The sensor was off yeah, there'd be a few kw in inaccuracies there. I’ll get it dyno’d again one day.

LMAO Holy shit wouldnt that have some throw back!! Nar I'd guess it would have to be somewhere around 500 Nm. I'm such a yutz, I read the wrong line on my old dyno sheet, its more like around 1100.

huh, well I must have gotten a different conversion then

TORQUE RANGE: 50600 ft.lbs./68814 Nm NBT* (Nut Busting Torque): 1000 ft.-lbs./1356

Nm Max. Torque: (Forward)-625 ft.-lbs./848 Nm; (Reverse)-700 ft.-lbs. ...

so thats aboviously wrong!, my bad :chairshot

    • Ah ok. I seem to be mixing it like everyone else does so not sure what's happening. Will experiment with it more.
    • Depends on what you mean by OK. First up, was this done cold or hot? Are they reasonably consistent? Yes, they are reasonably consistent. Could be better. But unless it has had a build at some point, it is a ~30 year old engine and you'd expect some variation. Some of the difference could also be in user technique Is it good compression? Well....not numerically, no. New they were >160 psi. The one at 140 would be fine, in that context. If they were all ~140, you'd be reasonably happy. But the one that is @120 is twice as far down from the original numbers as the one @ 140. But.. (again)... technique can play a part in the absolute magnitude of these numbers, and the quality/state of repair/accuracy of the pressure gauge is not known. In the context of the above, the compression tester that was used last on my car is regularly compared to a known good pressure gauge. Not calibrated, exactly, but compared to a reference instrument that is not used for any other purpose, so cops no abuse. So we can trust the measurements off that tester. But another tester in the same workshop wasn't being compared against the standard and was reading a good 30ish psi lower. When you're reading 100 psu but the engine is really doing 130, you can make bad decisions.
    • More likely from tiny bubbles in the filler/putty. Maybe be less aggressive when mixing it. Perhaps invest in a vacuum chamber to pull the air bubbles out?** **I don't know if this is a thing for body filler. I see hardcore epoxy makers degassing their mixed resin on the regular.
    • IIRC, the speedo on these is fed from the sensor in/on the snout of the diff.
    • They were. I bought the AWD for experimenting but racing it would disqualify or disadvantage me from a few race classes. Def getting a FWD for racing.
