Might as well chuck mine into the mix... 187rwkw. Manual car.

Current mods:

HKS turbo back 3" exhaust - Silent Hi-power

X-Force 3" Cat

Hybrid FMIC

HKS POD

Cold air box

Power FC

Greddy Profec B-spec II

NGK Plugs @ 0.8

Running 12psi, moderate tune.

Mods to come to break well into the 200's:

HKS GT2835 ProS

Tomei poncams

Walbro Fuel pump

550cc+ injectors

Plazmaman plenum

Splitfire coilpack

Z32 AFM

Prior to all that it was running at 158rwkw. Same as yours. Dyno Dynamics dyno.

187rwkw WITH power fc? bit low isn't it?

anyways, it's pretty easy to work out. Take an average of 150rwkw for a GTT, that's a 28% drive train loss from the fly-wheel.

My aim is 300kw at the fly, giving me about a 215rwkw target, give or take.

So just do ~30% drive train loss. This does vary from car to car

I have some misfiring issues that are still being worked out, hence the new coilpack etc to come. Half the time she's running on 5 cylinders. Also a bit suss on the history of the car.

aaaahh dodgy coilpacks, all too common problem with the 34's unfortunately.

mine went, i got splitfires now. Not too major a problem and easily fixed. Have you tried the DIY solutions for it?

Coilpacks were a common problem for the GTT R34's is it? So i would expect some missfires to come after some mods too? Does anyone gap down plugs on R34's for misses?

Yes.

When the boost is increased.

Yes to 0.8 mm.

I thought we were almost at consensus that drivetrain losses are not are percentage, more of a certain amount of power for each car; ie the same number of kw no matter what the total power.

Evil34, is that your car in your avatar? If so do you have any more pics?

Coilpacks seem to be a problem with Skylines in general. I don't think I know a Skyline owner who hasn't had some sort of issue with misses.

Anyway, splitfires fix em up just fine. Price you pay for greatness.

I've got some money to pour into the car, so I am just going to bite the bullet and get it fixed permanently :P Along with the other mods I listed... needless to say I am looking forward to it.

Currently after a tune yesterday my car sits at 184 rwkw on .75 Bar.

My mods so far are:

Splitfire coil packs

Walbro fuel pump

Drift pod filter

Blitz front mount

3 inch turbo back exhaust

Platinum spark plugs gapped to 0.8

AVCR boost controller

They could not put anymore boost into the car due to the standard computer pulling timing and dumping fuel at any higher boost level.

I have the next round of mods sitting at home now ready to go in which are:

Power FC

550cc Injectors

Z32 airflow meter

just ran out of money to fit this stuff at the moment

Is this on Stock Turbo???? i'm about to get my PowerFC tuned..

158 is in the ball park. I'd say 145-155rwkw mark would be around what it would make.

I wanted to confirm if that's still correct because when you go to any automotive website like Supercheap auto for example, it only gives an option for an r34 gtt that has 206kw, which is same as a gtr r34 roughly. Makes no sense to me lol.

Manufacturers quote power at the engine, we quote power at the wheels, which will always be lower due to drivetrain losses.

The GTT's Neo actually did produce ~206kW at the flywheel.

The 34GTR's 26 really did not produce 206kW at the flywheel. By the time the 34 came around the 26 was likely up around 230-240 kW, and probably could have been more. The Japanese manufacturer's had an agreement to not sell any cars that made more than 206kW (actuall, their agreement was expressed in the stupid non-metric German ps units which is essentially horsepower, and the numerical value in the agreement was 280ps).

So Evos, Supras, GTRs, 3000GTs, and so on, all had official 206kW power outputs published, and all made variously larger numbers than that. Even the R32 GTR made a decent margin over the official number, all the way back in 1989. As you'd bloody well hope for a TT 2.6l 24v engine running ~12psi of boost.

The old "Gentleman's agreement". 

They all kept publishing that number to avoid government intervention.

They all kept pushing over it to be quicker than the other guy.

 

It's why I'll say it's smart the Gen4 Supra was more suited/targetted to taking on freeway runs, than taking on the GTR directly. Nissan and Yoda rivalry slightly more apart receiving a little less criticism compared to the Holden Vs Ford in the years gone by with the likes of the GTHO etc.

Ah Interesting to know.

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
