Well I'm not 100% sure on this one... but apparently its where the AUTO kicks in? I found this kinda strange as well - if someone has any ideas please share?

How good would a smooth curve straight up and above the original line be :O

As it gets hot, the auto slips a bit more, hence you tend to get slightly lower power readings. Coupla kw, not a big deal.

:) cheers :)

Just thought I'd follow a lot of people and tell all about my dyno tuning experience today...  had my R34GTT tuned at Bromspec Performance (Brookvale) by Justin from Haltech/Tweakit.  ECU was the stocker + SAFCII D1 Limited Edition.

First Power Run: 171.5rwkw

Final Power Run: 194.6rwkw

Final Power Gain: 23.1rwkw

Total Runs for Tune: 15~20

Total Time: ~ 60 minutes

Total Cost: $160.00

I am very very pleased with the results; especially since my rather shocking result at the Dumar Dyno Day (27/08/05) and its good to see that money has been well spent since then :P  Also like to thank Bromspec Performance and Justin for doing such a great job at such short notice (basically just caled them up and told them I'd be there 15 :))

AFRs are also fixed now to a flat 12.5 instead of the 10.6 - 11.3 I got in the past.  This will make fuel economy better, though I think with the new power it won't make much difference :D

Inch by inch we are getting closer to that magical 250rwkw number... now in an AUTO, that would be FAN-BLOODY-MARVELLOUS :lol:

I put my car on the DYNO today at TODO performance. My first run was weak 143.4kw on 7psi, so i upped the boost to 12 and got 184.4

mods i got so far is Apexi 3 inch exhaust, Drift Pod Filter ( CRAP going to put standard box back in ) and The ECU has been tuned by Mines. but im running a 2 inch dump pipe. what power should i be getting im aiming for 200kw dont really want to buy FMIC right now.

You should be getting over 200 then... I am assuming yours is an auto as well? 143.4kw at 7psi is rather low... my first dyno run ever on a rather stockish setup came up with 156kw?

Stan - nice work mate - definately higher than when we were at DAT wasn't it..

Makes me wanna do some stuff.. however i'll hold off.. i'm happy with 156kw..

$160 + SAFC2 + Intercooler + Turbotech = 40kw gain.. can't complain there.. any more than that your $$'s start going up I think.. careful of the tranny as everyone said..

enjoy mate..

Ed - what's wrong with a Mine's ECU? And more importantly where can one get one :)

Links - you forgot about the new sparkies and oil that made the car do 100kw more alone :P;):(

Yeah, being very mindful of the gearbox... thanks everyone for your feedback - those who are about to tune, we salute you!

Ed - what's wrong with a Mine's ECU?  And more importantly where can one get one :P

Mines ECU's are typically a custom tune for a specific setup on any given car, so you never know what exactly what they've been tuned for or what effect subsequent mods will have on the way the car runs. Or at least, that was the case with my car.

My R33 had one when it came over from Japan and it wasn't too bad, but it seemed to be running pretty rich (probably due to the higher octane levels in Japanese fuel). I ended up selling it and bought a PFC instead.

Yeah it's auto, hard to find a manual. So what do you think is making me lose so much power, could it be the mods with the car. All the modifications so far were already in when i bought it. Do you have anyway of helping me getting my power back before i get a Dyno tune?

Hey ECR033 did you get a tune yesterday? A friend of mine with a white R34 was talking about your exact setup and figures today...

He explained what a Mines ECU is and it's all clear now. I'd say just get a SAFCII or something to correct whatever the Mines isn't.

As for the power figure, I can't say to be honest... I don't know enough just yet to comment. :P Perhaps one of the gentlemen here can...

    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
