5 Cylinder Gtr Wins Autosalon Dyno Comp


Recommended Posts

Guest DIRTgarage

Stacey's R32 GTR won this weekends dyno comp at Autosalon.

Her GTR was run in the qualifiers on Saturday and had a severe misfire due to a broken spark plug insulator (the white ceramic bit) on no.2 cylinder, but still managed a figure of 407 AWKW. We changed the plugs Sunday morning had her all iced up, and put some race fuel in her, keen to break 500 AWKW. But to no avail......as the last car to run before the finals was finishing its run, a power surge through the building destroyed the electronics on the dyno.....As the power figure in the qualifiers was the highest...by 43 kw....she took 6/5 cylinder class as well as highest outright power. The "tough as nails" trophy was also earned, as top judged toughest car at the show.

"Ask any real racer, It doesnt matter whether you win by an inch or a mile, winnings winning." :lol:

Nice work

Yeah but its almost winning by default.....A VL there was running low boost in the qualifiers and made 366 RWKW....he missed his chance to have a shot at us......he's probably thinking he should have won......but we had a lot more power in reserve.......we also missed our opportunity to show what the car was really capable of. Thats the reason we entered the dyno comp.....not to win trophy's....thats just a bonus if you get to take something home.

I think it would have been hollow had you run, then the power surge occured before your competitors, not giving them a run at all against your 6cyl run.... I think the though as nails is deserved.

Hope you have a sau sticker on there :)

Thanks everyone. I am happy. We always strive to have TWOOGLE running at its best, so we just felt like kickin ourselves when we realised the plug was broken......when all along a had a nice set of race plugs very handy in my handbag.......Trust a girl to come prepared, but forget what she has at the bottom of her (bottomless pit) handbag!!! :)

    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate 
    • He means "as opposed to mechanical cable drive". Older cars (R32 for ex.) had cable drive. Later cars with essentially the same gearbox, ie R34 GT (NA RB25) used essentially the same box as the R32 GTSt, but instead of a cable drive, had an electronic speed sender plugged into the same hole in the box, running from the same little gear that would have run the cable. Some of the shittier later cars use a speed sender on the nose of the diff, or the ABS sensors.
    • Lower than engine, or lower than it should at the hubs? Either way, that is a nice power figure and I'm not surprised you say it rips now. What stopped you from turning it up any more? Injectors? Or did it just stop responding to boost?
    • Got my 34 gtt tuned last week. Car made 362 wheel horsepower at 19 psi. Turbo was the ATR43SS. Only other upgrades were haltech 2000 series. 650cc injectors, walbro 250, fmic. Pro hub dyno reads 6% lower than actual figure according to my tuner. Car is a real ripper now.  IMG_7261.mov
    • Hi everyone, I'm wondering if anyone in Melbourne (preferably West) has a non-S2 R34 front bar. If it's already off the car, even better!  Nothing too weird, I just need to get a cut-out of the hole that the front indicators clip into 🤣 (image attached for reference)   I've got a front bar from JSAI Aero, but those holes need to be cut myself, and I want to get it right so the indicators will clip securely. And my OEM bumper is a S2, so I have no reference. So looking for a member who might be able to spare me a few minutes to make a cardboard cut-out using your front bar.
