pushead - I took off all my intake piping which was suprisingly clean, and gave it a bit more of a clean.

I then cleaned my afm and then took off the thottle body and cleaned that. Out of the lot the throttle body looked the worse (thin layer of very thick oil around it).

After putting it all back i found a noticible difference in throttle response and felt like it came on boost a bit smoother.

It will only cost u 1 bottle of carby cleaner. Would be interesting to see before and afters on a dyno of doing this.

yes it does... it always does... no matter what mods, tyre pressure, clutches all come into play.... put a decent clutch in a stock car and u will probably chop almost half a second off the time.

I made 140rwkw at BMT.

Mods:

* 3"dump/front

* 3" cat back (crappy cat is still the bottleneck)

* Bleed valve set at 0.7 bar (~10psi)

* K&N Panel filter in stock air box.

* Pineapples (prolly wont affect a power reading)

I couldnt give a rats ass what rwkw I've got. I ran a 13.83 @ 101mph last weekend which is similar to others with 180+rwkw.

nigasnt is 100% correct, rwkw dont mean squat!

thanks for all your input ppl. I was wondering ok, instead of measuring in rwkw but 1/4 mile times, did anyone measured their 0-100km/s? if so what results? reason why i asked is most street drags are 0-100km times, please also note i do not encourage anyone to street drag, but im sure we all have done it some stage :P:)

i think bmt dyno is lower (someones already prolly said what im saying b ut i cbf reading the whole thread)

so is racepace's dyno, best way to find out is either test on anotehr dyno or simply ask the guys at BMT if that's the average power they have seen on cars with your mods, they'd know best :P

This dyno is way low for sure!!

RiggaP said he ran a 13.8 or something with a dyno result of 141rwkw... For your car to run high 13's you have to be pushing about 180rwkw plus..

I had my r31 dynoed at Goodguys in bayswater and got 160rwkw @ 12psi and I know my car is probably good for low to mid 14's..

Take it to the track, see what sorta MPH you get

    • How do people sell and buy modified cars in Victoria? Because internet says you have to get a RWC every time the car is sold. In NSW the blue slip / full check is only required for cars that had their registration lapsed or are bought from interstate. The yearly pink slip / rego check just looks at tyres, lights, leaks and things like that. They tend to not care about modifications. So can buy a car that is modified as long as it was registered before modifications. And then keep driving it. With the lingering threat of getting defected and fu<ked at any time.
    • I think just better tyres, I'm just on Hankook RS-4 tyres at the moment, which aren't really meant for the track. Also, been mucking around with my suspension for sometime now and I'm really happy bow neutral it is. Car doesn't want to just oversteer or understeer like it did years ago.  Time to put on proper tyres one day and see what the shit box can do at SMSP, One Raceway and Luddenham again.

    • It's not "interpreted as" it literally is no more than 1 mod to the intake system. The turbo is considered something that affects emissions. So this has 0.0% chance of passing it's current state. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this would absolutely need thousands to get on the road. Perhaps the seller still has the stock bits, but god knows what state the OEM wiring is to run the ECU, whether an OEM cluster is still available, etc. Generally speaking, RWC testers in Victoria are more conservative than the rules actually are to boot, so even if the car will pass, they won't even want to look at it, nor consult the actual roadworthiness requirements. They will simply throw it in the too hard basket with a flavor of arrogance and move onto the next job, even if the mods you have meet the requirements of VSI14.
