John hires Jake's dyno - John's the one doing the tuning though.

You can keep the line now!!!!!

Damn hitting a cone! Woulda got 1.52 on the backtrack otherwise... (which still aint fantastic tho)

Jebus! Swap you your starlet for my 33 lol. Or maybe the driving skill in just your left pinky! Fair deal I think?

I'd recommend John at Trojan Motorsport. A lot of guys around here have had John tune theirs. I just had a PFC and numerous other bits put in my 33. Happy to show you how the car runs and feels. Bullet32 will agree, and I've ridden in his car, it feels as good/smooth as mine. Or you could catch up with us at the museum some Friday. More importantly than just knowing how to tune - if u tell him you want rock-solid reliability or outright power or whatever, John will make recommendations, and set up your car exactly as you like.

Spotted Bluprint: And me waving like a madman at him from my brother's teg behind ya haha I was just thinking "I wonder if he sees/recognises... we really need a SAU 'wave'..." like how Kramer gets out of being beaten up with his secret hand sign haha

I looked using terms like: weight, rims, wheels, r33 and stock, but didn't find the answer. Anyone know? Thanks.

Your wish is my command: My dyno printout The max power figure shows when he had a hacked up airbox on the engine, but the line just below (much quieter and only 3rwkw less) is how it stands today. From page 11 of the Rb25 turbo upgrade thread. There's no torque readout, but it plants me hard in the seat. There's a few other dyno's around here, next time there's a dyno day I might go and ask for a torque readout. My tuner said he used 'setting 6' on a Dyno Dynamics, and didn't mess with the correction/adjustment figures to make power look big, like some others do. Also said if I go on any other realistic dyno, used properly, I should get the same result +/- 5rwkw depending on the weather and all that. Of course if I get on something happy, he said I'll get way more. I love the way the power is delivered, very smooth and predictable and it just ramps on the speed. Just out of curiousity, the same mechanic said he could have easily given me 280rwkw, I just asked for safe and easy. He's also tuned a GTRS equipped engine to over 300rwkw (but doesn't recommend it).

Then don't!

LOL @ ^^^ Yeah, the R31s were nuts hahha

I can't believe I never posted here in 3 years of owning the car haha. I think I was always waiting for the car to be in the state I wanted it to present it, but here goes anyway! (Curtesy of Bluprint)

For anyone interested in one of my best laps (only 1.18.... I now realise my brakes were shot before I even arrived at the track, which I'm sure cost me time... and probably helped in creating the end of this video ).

There'll be a ton of pics Thanks for organising the day guys/girls, had a great time! Look forward to seeing times/results!

Myth

Yeah mine was chosen for ease of installation, the fact it is 99% street driven in the city and I hate lag, and combined with what the bottom end can handle safely (without any doubt, because I have no intentions of paying for opening it up). Having said that, I'm sure there are people with Garret (/HKS hybrid custom) setups that ended up cheaper than mine. Mine is on boost a bit faster than stock and is only JUST starting to tail off in power when I hit 7k. If you think about the machines Nismo make, ie not the most powerful, but thoroughly designed and relatively easy to drive when compared with some of the big power 'monsters' that are out there, that's the kind of result I went for with my car.

Claw

Rightio. If we're meant to be there by 8, being enroute by 7.30 sounds good to me! Anyone else?

If a bunch of ppl are meeting up before heading out, I'll come too. What kinda time r u thinkin?

Ohhhh lol

Well I got my GTRS in last week and just tracked it at Wakefield, had a ball. I wouldn't want the turbo to come on any later or harder. As it is, it's nice and smooth and (call me a woose) but I'm happy with the 256rwkw I ended up with (stock airbox too) and don't want/need any more GTRS's have made more power for others, but I asked my mechanic for an insanely safe tune and to set things to I don't have to worry about killing the engine AT ALL. Revs are limited to 7.5k. My low boost is set to 12.5PSI giving 240rwkw, high is 16.5 and gives 256rwkw. You're easily doing 110kph before you realise it. It holds traction very well and doesn't wheelspin at all as has been suggested earlier in this thread unless you drop a gear and stomp it on purpose (but I've sorted the suspension and my tyres aren't junk so that helps). Absolutely lovin' it. Oh, and I just hit 3/4 full on the tank and have done 132kms!

You'll go faster if u leave the lighter broken (you, not the car )

Don't see a reason why I shouldn't be able to rock up, squealy new brakes n all! I'm still trying to get a handle on when the majority of the crowd rocks up.... 930? 10?

Haha what is this, Christmas? Nah you're right, can't wait!

Maroon S1 R33 pulling into Page as I was pulling out, I only saw ya as I heard the BOV! Another maroon R33 and a silver S2 R33 as I was going past UC today.

Didn't check the calipers, but I guess it's him cos he asked if I knew a Simon
