I don't see why everyone's so touchy over dyno results.

I don't see why everyone's so touchy over dyno results.

I did it and it was very wrong, my boat weighs about 1600 kg = 3527 lb, my trap speed is around 133mph, it said I had 647RWHP.

On the dyno at unigroup it says about 500hp ATM, so thats 150 stray horses my car does not have.

The ET one was at least partialy right with my 3527lb and 500 hp giving a 11.17, my best is 11.13, but the trap speed was 122, its missing the 11mph that I do have.

Mark did u actually weigh ur car? My GTR weighs 1550 which is full weight

Last time at the Creek on the scales with me in it (80kg then, fatty) it was 16??, no carpet/sound deadening/no rear seat, it does have a steel Bonds half cage in it though and a full tank of fuel .

Unless the scales were faulty ?????

I might have to re-weigh it without the anchor

Congrats on the airport high speed run Robo :D

Awesome top speed!!

Thanks mate, its was fun, apart from the f**king rocks, and my standard size brakes trying to slow me down from 245kph so I didnt hit the big white cones..

RB25/30RWDFTW

Good luck for me but bad luck for some other cars with the radar playing up, my last run was about 1200, apparently the radar glitch happened after I left.

That yellow 34 GTR was puching a heap of power to, there is a linky somewhere with incar footage.

Well I was a bit disappointed I had to leave so early, would have loved to see a few of the higher hp cars run..

The rocks and stone chips were a little annoying..

Your right though, those cones do approach very quickly.. Might be time for a brake upgrade mate :D

Mine says 560-580

Is the mercury 34 really running stock bottom end?

Can't find my hpi mag with full write up but found this http://www.mercurymotorsport.com.au/2011/04/“nitto”-r34-gtr-–-1072hp-at-all-4-wheels/

Maybe they have more than 1?

what the deal with manual vs auto trans with those moroso's. ..say my car made 710 moroso hp auto ..but if i put a manual in it

and it traps another 3.5-4mph..it would show more hp on a moroso, yet no make anymore, is that correct or how they work?

i have seen them, they are a basic sliding rule thing

cheers

I'm not really an expert on the subject but if you take out an auto and put in a manual, aren't you going to make more HP at the wheels?

This would also coincide with your higher trap speed

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
