hey...

I had my GTS r32 dynoed about 1 1/2 years ago, mods were a 2 1/4inch exhaust and a k&n pod (which is actually on an adapter thats about 1 -2mm smaller that the afm opening) with no cold air induction..

Heres my dyno chart, i had lost it for quite some time but found it the other day and started to have a really good look at it.

rb20de dyno

As you can probably tell by the speed it would have been done in 3rd gear which isnt right i know but...

I noticed that my peak power was reached at about 5700-5800rpm, the power then seems to drop off significantly after this, thats what i find quite odd. This engine stock should be producing its peak power at 6100or something like that but by the time iv reached those revs the powers already dropping off quite quickly.

Is there anything that anyone can suggest that could be going wrong there to make the engine stop producing power where it does?? Is it possible that the dyno reading was setup wrong therefore meaning that the speed shown on the graph does not match that of the revs that i have plotted on there?.

Its hard to say for sure but when the car was new to me it used to come on power at about 5000rpm and pretty much maintain that pull right through to about 6500 and only slightly drop off by the time i would shift at 7000rpm. Now the car seems to all ova sudden go quite hard as soon as i huit about 5grand but die off again quite drammatically after this point.

In a way im kind of hopeing theres something only simple wrong so meaning that when fixed the motor should continue to make more power right up untill atleast where it makes it stock from the factory.Im wondering if it is my pod setup though thats sent things a bit wierd.. i should really do it properly and mount it down in the front bar and use the right adapter for it..i know people that have gained about 2.5 to 3kw's at the wheels by doing this..( a neck breaking difference i know, LOL :yes: )

Any input appreciated... cheers!

have your AFRs cleaned up, it won't entirely solve your problem - but it is a little over the shop. do you have an SAFC, ecu, chip or anything?

as to your power issue, the graph looks fine to me - but you've had history with the car, so just start troubleshooting. have a fiddle with your pod filter, service the car, look into timing advance/retard, etc.

that said - the dyno always feels/drives differently to when your actually on the street, so don't take it as gospel. does it "feel" slower to you?

Well the cars just clocked over 149 000 km's and it would appear to be the factory standard cat going by what it looked like when i got the got. i doubt the jap owner would hav changed it in the 90 000kms he they had the car for.. You think my cat could be killing off some of the power?

nah its the stock ecu etc... iv been told of someone that can do a remap for really cheap for me that might help things along a bit..

i just spent a few hours re-drilling and cleaning up my pod adapter and I THINK the car seems to be pulling a bit harder up top, but id say the biggest thing that has changed is the engine seems to respond a bit better now iv mucked around with it a bit.

Cubes, so you think its normal that my peak power is coming on before what nissan quote for my motor and already start dropping off hardcore by time it reaches that point, i would have thought that having a pod and exhaust would have pushed it up further if anything..

cheers

The RPM data on the bottom of the sheet seems to jump around everywhere. Speed versus RPM will remain constant in one gear. From what I can make out, your RPM jumps from as little as 600rpm per 15km/h increase to 1000rpm per 15km/h increase in speed. This can not happen. Until you can find out your actual RPM I wouldn't bother trying to work out anything, it looks like a normal dynograph to me.

Fixxxer

Hey mate,

I've got an r-32 GTS too, I can't really help you with the graph business caus I don't have a great deal of knowledge when it comes to dyno's, but I noticed you said about mounting the Pod in your front bar, how do you do that without cutting into your chassis?

I have had a good look and I can't seem to find any route to cold air?

Sorry for the off topic ness lol

your graph doesn't look that bad for a stock ecu. i'd say that is pretty close to what it should make.

when i had a SSS pulsar (natro sr20) i put it on the dyno and got a similar readout. graph was a little bit more stagered than that. and got about 2kw less.

then my last car before my skyline had a dead smooth curve. no rough spots. the dyno guy said it was one of the smoothest curves he had ever seen. it was a '00 magna with a stock ecu and full exhaust.

    • I did read your post, a few times actually.    Done. Followed this step. [Negative probe should be on the cars chassis. Positive on the wire.]   Did this partially.. now that im reading this over, i only unplugged the LED lights. [Start as said above by unplugging everything (unplug the lights, and switches.] When you are talking about the switch, you're talking about the knob thing on the right side in the drivers seat right? If so, i need to take that apart?  [Now at the switch, there is a wire from the fuse, to the switch, so out your positive on that terminal. It should read open circuit. If it reads something, especially a stupid low value, the short is somewhere between the fuse and the switch.] At this point are you referring to the connector by the headlights?  [If that's fine, now put the positive probe on the wire that goes to the headlight (at the switch plug). If it reads stupid low, the fault is from the switch, to the headlight.] Did this. I can confirm that the LED lights aren't the issue [Another quick test, is take the whole LED light setup from the left, and plug it into the right side, does it still blow the fuse? If you put the right hand side led light setup on the left hand side wiring, does the left hand side wiring now blow?  If the blowing fuse swaps from right to left doing this, your LED lights are the issue.]
    • Hey was wondering if you ended up installing the R33 GTR speed sensor - I found one too and wanted to confirm it's a direct swap into the R34 6 speed?
    • After 23 years of owning a Skyline, finally had the latch go.  Followed this guide,  works like a dream again. Great Guide 👍
    • Hi all,   I’ve got the biggest lot of problems with my R33 GTS-T   It was a freshly rebuilt 25th anniversary RB25DET (plastic cas, neo cams) probably 6 years ago now   The engine was running so well but I fkd up badly and trusted someone I’d known for 10 years that was well known around Plazmaman for his welding and fab work. I added a lovely photo of some of his previous work. Not sure why my car was worked on by whoever did this shit     I’m normally someone who would never open myself up to something like this, I still can’t believe I did it. Trusting him literally fkd it all up for me. Everything has been a struggle, like it’s almost been 6 years that’s how much I’ve just on and off been trying to work it all out.    All I wanted was a car that danced down low, like full boost from around 3~3500rpm to redline, don’t really care what power it puts down (if it ever does) but I just wanted it to be quick to get on it.    He recommended the turbo to get, I picked Hypergear but he told me to get the front 4” with a T4 and 0.68 rear housing.    I was expecting all these beautiful welds, tidy fab work and paid for it to be ready to go to a tuner when I got it back.    I got a car back that was an absolute mess, I actually couldn’t believe it was my car anymore. I don’t think you could even call what he did welds, they’re disgusting.    So I stripped everything he touched off it and with every bolt I loosened it just got worse and worse.    I covered it and literally built and finished another car in the meantime but now it’s getting to the point where I really want my Skyline back.   Its a struggle because I paid him to do all this shit because I didn’t know how to and now I’ve had to try and figure it all out omg    Please excuse the bird shit horrible welds, I’ve got my show pony car and am so beyond dealing with this car I don’t even really care at this point.    If someone told me about what he did to my car I wouldn’t have believed them but it happened to me. It was unbelievable. He went missing, my car went missing, it came back missing parts, the straight af chassis rails bore the scars of being dragged up a trailer backwards, even the sandwich plate was bent. Everything was leaking and open to whatever fell into it, rounded off/ missing bolts, power steering oil and coolant everywhere, no gaskets, parts stolen off it, even managed to damage the sump pan.   Promised me he’d finish the car, knew what it meant to me, I paid him thousands and thousands just for him to trash it. He told me he was fully licensed and insured, come to find out he’d cancelled his ABN, so obviously no insurance. I had laid up insurance on the car and would’ve been covered but I was scared they would’ve written it off or because the business was no longer trading I’d still be liable.    He was supposed to:  New fully custom mild steam pipe exhaust manifold with turbo location moved from factory position to high forward mount. (I don’t know if it is a mild steam pipe, I’ve got a funny feeling the waste gate isn’t in a very good position and I don’t think the outlets off each cylinder are equal) 4” custom stainless steel dump with external gate (he re-plumbed it) Cut and shut OEM intake manifold with throttle reposition (I ended up doing the throttle reposition) Box in pod filter (left out) New 100cel catalytic converter (pretty sure it’s there but unsure if it’s 100cel) Front mount intercooler piping fabricated to suit (all smashed up and rusty holes where he was supposed to make it look standard where fmic piping passes through. I don’t even think my front bar is going to fit 🙄) Custom 5” intake pipe from pod to turbo (didn’t come with it so had to do something to make it work with the Z32 afm)   Engine: Full cylinder head service & machining  Brand new valves Precision upgraded spring kit Engine block honed New bearings  New piston rings  New ARP conrod bolt kit New ARP head studs Cometic head gasket VRS kit   ATR43SS2 ball bearing turbo 0.68 rear housing  Turbosmart 45mm external wastegate (got delivered to the fab bloke, I’ve got no idea what spring is in it, I’m assuming the one that came pre installed) Walbro 260 fuel pump  Nismo 740cc injectors (tested to 880) Spitfire coil packs GCG FMIC RB25DET manual 5 speed 4:11 rear diff   I’ve got an Apexi Power FC in it atm, I was hoping to just get it to operating temp to make sure everything was okay before towing to a tuner but it’s over-fuelling too much. I don’t think that’s going to happen so i think I’m going to get either a Link G4 or Haltech for it. What do you guys recommend? I can’t work out the power FC so just gonna give up on that one     It’s got an exhaust leak coming from somewhere I can’t see 🙄    The fuel pressure was steady but now it like drops from 40 to 20psi randomly (noticed this yesterday)    I’ll attach pics of the shit he put on my car and the engine bay now as it sits    I really just need some help, I need a tuner in Sydney I can trust, I’d like to be with the car while it’s being tuned if possible, I know it looks terrible but unfortunately I’ve just got to put up with it for now and fix the cosmetic stuff later   Do you guys think the manifolds are going to be okay? Or do I throw the exhaust manifold and try again?   I don’t even think these combinations are going to work tbh   I know everything I fitted was rated to be able to take at least 400kW but most rated higher    If you’ve gotten this far I really really appreciate it 🙏 I don’t mind if you trash me or the car, I made a rookie error and f**k I’ve paid for it. As you’ll see 🙄
