I don’t know how some people can get 200Kw at 4 wheels with Very light mods. Before I blew the GTR up, I had quite a few mods done, and only 2 weeks before the EC drive day I went to Croydon’s and did a dyno, 194Kw @ all 4.

If you have a R32 and you can switch to rear wheels only, 200Kw is achievable because of the lower losses. We hype up our KW regularly but ready I don’t think we get as much as we say we do.

Look at it this way.

On a GTR (R33) in 4WD you will loose about 40-45% of power from fly to wheels. Rear wheel only say about 25-30%. So!

350KW @ Fly - 42.5% drive train looses is 201Kw @4W

350KW @ Fly converted to horse's is 500HP.

The injectors / turbo's /airflow meter and fuel system are at its limits when it produces 500HP. So 200Kw is not as easy as it seams.

My 194Kw was with.

720mm x 360mm x 72mm FMIC

Apexi PFC

Bleed valve to 16LB

Steel shaft/wheel garret rebuilt turbo's

3" nismo exhaust and headers

Standard Box with high flow filter

I do have one reason why my run was low, my Platinum plugs were delaminated and my air filter was 20K Km old. I have had as high as 210Kw.

Since I blew the engine up I have a few other mods which will be doing.

Variable cams, dump pipe, high flowed 47.5 mm compressor turbo wheels, 550cc injectors, Apexi boost up kit to 17lb. I will be very happy if I produce 250Wk @all 4 which is about 600HP.

I hope this helps Ethan, and I open this to the floor for comment.

Oz GTR97V, I have to disagree with you here.... I believe that with a good turbo(s) back exhaust (3"+), twin pod air filters, power FC and good fuel you should be able to get to 200 4WKW. Standard turbos are Ok upto 14psi, and the 440cc injectors and pump can cope with ~16psi, and if you want a bit more, use ADJ CAM gears, they work wonders on RB26 motors.

Agreed, but replacing turbos, is no what I would call a "Basic Mod". To get Big HP from a GTR you need bigger turbo's.

Boost, exhaust, and pods are not enough to get a GTR much above 150Kw @4W on a GTR.

It is very easy to get caught up with big dyno figures (or low for that matter) but the relality is this-

Dyno's, particullaly chassis dyno's can vary greatly from one dyno to another.

I have seen variations with the same car of up to 30kw.

Same day, same car, same fuel batch - 3 different dyno's (long story)

What you should be more interested in is the percentage increase (or decreases) of the before and after modifications dyno run/tune.

i use this car for Targa Tasmainia every year the figures are correct it has been on three diffrent dynos in the last three years

Steve,

I assume your Turbo's were steel wheeled by Garrett? I just had mine redone due to the dropping of my inlet valve on number 3. (P.S. thanks for the short engine)

Various people have told me that the turbo's are good for 20Lb but talking to the guy in Garrett who rebuilds them he said they are only good for 3lb above stock standard boost on a GTR. That makes about 13Lb. What are your thoughts on the life span at 1.3 Bar? I ran 1.1 bar for 70,000Km and when he pulled them apart, except for the damage to the exhaust wheel he said they were in good condition.

hi oz gtr,get yourself a new tuner.

heres an example.

r32gtr

trust cooler,16psi,standard computer,exhaust,airfilters.

231 kw rear wheels.ran 11.8 at 121mph

i had similar on a r33gtr with power fc,made 255kw@4.

on 2 different dyno dynamics dyno.one was 255kw other was 251kw.

after being sold was redynoed on different dyno by new owner and made 254kw.

Vspec,

I actually used Karl, from down your way. We went to the tafe dyno and that is where we clocked the 210Kw. With the 440cc injectors they were 95% maxed and the fuel ratio was just right. I will be down in melb in the next couple of months, let me know who your tuner is and I will let him play with the car when Im down.

How much kw does a stock GTR have @ all 4 wheels? I'm guessing it would be less than 177, which is why I'm a little confused why EthanR33 is selling his car for one thats older, and has less power than the one he's currently got? Is it the 4 wheel traction your after or just the fact you WANT to own a GTR? I'm not having a go I'm just curious?

I guess it's the potential that it offers.

    • Assuming the current ECU is stock, it might be worth getting hold of a nissan data scan cable. It could be as simple as voltage at the ECU
    • You need to test for spark when it matters - ie cranking. Kill the fuel supply, pull a plug and earth it, set up a camera and go crank. The spark needs to be consistent, every other turn of the engine. Not some sputtering of occasional spark. The reason I say this is because spinning the CAS in the air is not the same as spinning it installed, and if there is a bearing problem in it, the disk might work differently in the air than in the engine. You won't want to try to set the timing unless you know the spark is happening right.  Also, reconsider running the R35 coils against the stock ECU. They like a different amount of dwell cf the originals. It's not massive, you can actually run them, but it is better if you can adjust the dwell (which you can with Nistune in the stocker, or with an aftermarket ECU). Besides any of that - when you had the multimeter out, have you got power where it needs to be, earth where it needs to be (and when, in the case of igniter triggers), etc?
    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
