Maybe your car is tuned to do well at top end?

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!?

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:

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

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
