if i remember, i'll bring down my laptop and conZult cable... only ever used it on my zed but i think it can hook up to the consult port on any skyline upto 33 series 1 (i think it works on the pre '95 ODB1 cars, won't work on ODB2) so if anyone wants error codes checked before they hit the dyno i can probz do that (until the battery runs out). I'll only be there in the morning though, can't stay for the whole day.

Hmm, I have a stock-ish R33 GTR, exhaust system, compliance cat, mines ECU, HKS EVC boost controller, compliance air filter. The car was running 10psi and I got 156.6AWKW.

So is my car not making enough power....some people have said it sounds roughly correct?

I will be making some more mods next month for more power :rofl:

compliance cat / compliance air filter..? Does that mean these items cause restrictions to the air flow?

Factory Stock GTR boost is 0.5 Bar = 7.2 Psi and I believe the brass boost restrictor has been removed for a SAFE Factor Boost increase which takes it up to 0.7 Bar = 10.1 Psi.

As what Russman said, all dynos are different, temprature might have affected the perfomance, some ppl put a gigantic fan to feed air to the pods and have a fan to blow against the intercooler... It can all affect it. Iam guessing.

Well atleast you got the HKS Boost controller. Take it up another 1 or 2 bars and should give abit more power increase.

A member on this forum revhed01, he is running about 1.25 Bar = 18.1 Psi and he put it on a dyno and got about 280 AWKW. Also hes got N1 Turbos.

I think they make about 187.4 Kw at all wheels, thats if its about 20-25% power loss through the drivetrain. Ppl in Japan been getting around 243 Kw at the flywheel, probley here in AUS too!

Stock you talking like nothing, no pods, exhaust, nothing...

yeah i mean stock as a rock

the only thing it has is tein coilovers

and im sellin them anyways

:rofl:

stock... so we will see if its at your 187 or so figure...

The compliance cat is probably your biggest enemy. Generally they use the cheapest cat they can get and often they are not even new. Therefore the flow of the cat is probably less than factory one from Japan.

I know with mine the cat was like a 2" opening pipe and flange and as soon as I got rid of it power returned.

I'd say get a good cat or "customise" your cat if it's a good size, adn this should return the car to stock power.

Thats what I was thinking. Just get a new high flow cat or find a stock GTR one, thats if there are any that are still in good condition.

The mines ECU won't be helping either. Who knows what that thing has been set up to do.

True that!

Yes, looking at an X-force stainless steel high flow cat (around 700 cfm according to the manufacturer) not the $160 one from JustJap....

Also looking at PowerFC + tune, just need to ring around for a price of tuning, PowerFC is looking at between $950 and $980 from forum traders.

Sweet! with that high flow cat you will feel the difference and the car will run a lot smoother and you can feel the exhaust flow better.

Member on the forum Carizma / David might sell them...

HA! Autobarns probley got Apexi PowerFC. If not RE Customs, Kamikaze Motors and On The Run Motor Sports.

Actually I will likely be buying the cat from BOS importing. I'll give RE customs a call about purchase + tune on Monday.

Just measured the exhaust, 10.5 inches circumference (HKS super dragger), so roughly 3.3inches (so that would be a 3inch exhaust?)

Compliance cat, 8.5 inches circumference at the start of it, or 2.7inches, so probably a 2.5inch compliance cat....

I quickly scanned thru these pages but didn't see anything at first glance...do you have to register to run the car on the dyno or is it just rock up and wait?

Mate just come down and say hi

I'll be in a sau Top Ask for mav. Once you have paid and i'll hand out a numbered ticket and that will be the order in which the runs will take place :laugh:

Catch ya there...

Hey Mav.

Will I be able to run my commodore and my skyline if I get there early then drive home and bring the other car? I'm interested to see what both cars make.

So i can pay for my SAU vic membership and then get 3 dyno runs for $40? or will it still be $60? lol im curious about my power it will be embarrassing though with my auto n/a with a crowd :'(

    • So, I've been a little busy on this car. I replaced the bonnet struts which is always satisfying but very confusing that nobody else on the planet seems to do this. Its just my routine first thing I do on any car I buy. The boot struts for both the tailgate and the separately opening glass window was a bastard. And, I found a fair bit of rust in the strut cavity. I filled it with rust converter and cleaned up as much of the dirt as I could. There was so much dirt. One piece of the trim was barely hanging on and so I've left it off. I'll try to get a replacement. You can see how disgusting and dirty it all was in this thread; I had to remove the little clips that hold the struts on the ball. The ones I took off had no clips and it was impossible to get them on with them in place. Fingers crossed they stay put. So, I turned my attention to the headlights, they were in a bad way and likely would stop rego. I took the headlights out and found the adjusters were all just loose. So, I fixed those and unclipped the lenses to clean them up. Couldn't believe how easy it was to take all this apart compared to the E90.   I also cleaned up the stockies which was awesome, these are super cool with lug nut covers. They're in good nic but the tyres are shot. I was going to use these for rego but in the end got a fresh pair of rubber for the 17's on the front of the car instead. The front bar of this car is from a late(r) model one. I don't think it's quite LCI but who knows. I'll need to find out. Anyway, the bar was missing the fog lights and the wiring and plugs were for the original ones so I got new plugs and some cheap fogs. I wasn't sure if missing original equipment would hamper my blue slip attempts. Had a couple of these little fellas helping out. But not Ben who got stuck behind the pool heater .... How embarressment.  I ordered new speed sensors for all corners because I knew one was out. I just got cheapies and will replace them with Bosch items when I can find Bosch items. Again, this was just for rego. Alas, it seems the blue speed sensors are not the same as the grey ones. Back they went and replacements ordered. In the end, with my new scan tool, it was just rear left that was shot. Replaced it and cleared the codes. All good now. Lastly, my aux (thermo) fan is being a bit odd. Its powering up at strange times and NOT powering up when I think it should (100C). While this can be caused by a few things, the most likely (for me) is the ambient temp sensor. Given mine reads -40.0C regardless of the temp, I figured it would be good to replace it. In the end, the sensor wiring was abysmal with (terrible) attempts made by somebody to fix it.   I fixed this all up but the sensor is only attached using pins into the wires. The plug is not there. Despite trying and trying to connect it securely it wouldn't work so a replacement sensor and plug is on the way. Oh, I also ordered a replacement piece of trim for the part missing here at the bottom. Ordered from Latvia for $70 delivered. I took a bit of a leap of faith because I didn't have the exact part number and, as usual, there were eleventy billion pieces of trim that looked to fit. Nailed it. Well, its not totally perfect but I think its more a 28 y/o car problem than a trim problem. And, as of today ..... I have bought the workshop manuals 2nd hand off a guy in tassie. 1000+ pages of E39 goodness, hopefully it helps me with the fan. I also have a new temp switch on the way incase its the problem. Stoked.
    • I don't even know that you want an M2 Competition as a track car. My rule for a track car is only risk as much as you're willing to completely total out. Clean stock C5 Z06 Corvettes out here are cheap. Buying someone else's already ruined track car is even cheaper. Maybe I'm just not that good a driver but even a Fiesta ST on the Nordschleife felt like as much car as I could realistically handle.
    • I've already gone over the cam. A new one is going in. An old one is coming out! The new one is smaller, with less overlap. It has way more lift, but it will be more mild mannered (hopefully, probably very minorly) I'm also measuring for two more mufflers, with the goal of having four mufflers in my car. But that probably will be done by an exhaust shop in a drive in, measure, buy parts, install parts later kind of deal.
    • Mine is not even a GTR and I've been resisting the urge to make it a power monster for the last 25 years. And as a consequence, I have driven it to work nearly every day across that span of time.
    • Since the motor is out, I suggest pop in a nice dirty LS chop cam. MOAR of this please:
