206kW was the "gentlemans agreement" between all jap car manufacturer's. So cars like gtr, evo supra's etc all will quote 206kW. But guess what...

I have heard that the R34 GTR was released claiming it had 206 Kw. But when they places it on the dyno, it actually had 244Kw, is that true?

Or 280HP but truly had 327 HP!?!

I read that too, on Wikipedia tho and I don't really count Wiki as solid info.

would seem that the gentlemans agreement was more to be 'kind' to the opposing car manufacturers; Japanese culture is very different to western business and seems to include more morals and integrity.

Same as the new GTR; no-one knows how much power it really makes as every engine is different.

An RB26 would definitely make over 240kw standard; thats without any mods

i'm sure someone will correct me here, as i've never owned a GTR (or looked inside a standard one), but i read somewhere Nissan were kind enough to mark the restrictor in the boost control line so it was easy to remove, thus returning the engine to it's intended power.

yes the boost restrictor is marked on the line. I have owned quite a few GTRs now. 32, 33 and 34 and have had a standard 32, standard 33 and standard 34. I would agree they do have more than 206kw at the engine standard, but I don't think it's 240 or 260, I would say around 210-220 for 32s about 220 for 33s and about 230-235 for 34s. but what they really did was add a couple of basic resitrctions to bring the cars fown to the 206kw limit. so with a free flowing exhaust and 4 pounds more boost you get great gains. an extra 30-40kws just with those mods.

well that's kind of an individual choice! but personally yeah I think it's ok. providing you get the car checked on the dyno when you remove it. check the AFR, knock, and boost level. providing the boost is not going past 14psi and the AFR is ok and there is no knock then go for it. enjoy some free power. just be aware that any 32 with standard turbos is a bit of hit and miss. some will blow a turbo even at standard boost. some will live for years and years on 15psi with no problems. so if we are talking R32 (or even R33 really) then do it at your own risk!

Ben at RacePace put my 100% stock R34 GTR on his dyno and it made 211 rwkw. I fitted a HKS cat back and boost has now hit 1.2 bar, so I'm guessing it makes a bit more now.

The 211rwkw figure was made with stock airbox and panel filter, shitty compliance cat, stock exhaust, 180km restricted. The motor had 59,000kms on it.

    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
