I don't know anything about the GTR driveline but I can imagine the front wheels smoking the hell out of the tune shop lol overheard someone saying you can pull a relay out or something for rear wheel drive only but I dunno about how truthful that is, seems a little silly to me but as above I've no idea if the front an rears can seperate 100% to stop it launching out the front door :D

P.S. Rav i apologise for my sarcastic post :D my imagination just got the better of me ;) I would assume they would be very comparable as the output of the motor will be the same just depends how well the driveline holds up running 4 or 2 wheels. I wouldnt imagine too much difference

Just asking because i made 297kw on a rw drive Dyno, And some guy was giving me Sh*t saying there no way i made that power with stock AFM's and if i put it on a 4wd Dyno it be way lower out put.

So i thought i would post up and ask if this is true.

Power has nothing to do with AFM's.

If you max the afm you can still tune for peak power. Just means there's a point when its ramping up on to boost where its a little rich and missing a little ignition timing as that 'load point' is tuned expecting more airflow which requires more fuel and less ignition.

Well he clearly doesn't know what he's talking about

So don't listen to him :D

Thanks guys for the info, It was pretty funny because i only meet this person for few mins and we fighting over how much the stock AFM's can handle and my tuner dyno is so happy.(I know thats not true so many people get a lower rideing on it then any other dyno).

Man i hate those guys... think they know it all and u dont even know them from a bar of soap, yet they are apparently the fountain of knowledge about YOUR car... I just laugh at them these days like these guys don't know crap... normally makes them madder and you win :)

I have a GTS4 and I always thought it was about 20-30kw less on a 4wd dyno?

You cant just pull the fuse out in a R34 GTR to go to RWD like with the R32s

I think in a R34 there is ~10% difference. Ie: 300AWKW is 330RWKW

Anyone done both in an R34??

You can pull a fuse out in a 34 , i have , its just highly unrecommended ... I done a test .

Power On RWD 17PSI = 335 REAR WHEEL KWS

Power On 4WD 17PSI = 310 REAR WHEEL KWS

Not much of a difference , Seems to be right .

Don't pull the fuse on the R33/R34, the clutch packs there is a pre-load on the transfer case, see the above post...

Its fine to do it in an R32 because they don't use this pre-load...

I've read this, but is the pre-load applied electronically or mechanically?

I have an R32 gearbox/transfer case in an R33 GT-R.

Does this mean that the transfer case still has a pre-load applied to it by the ATTESSA computer, or is there no pre-load because its an R32 transfer case?

There will be a difference between 2WD and 4WD readings on a dyno...

Its simple physics..In 4WD mode you have an extra driveline (minus g/box) running the front wheels. The transfer case, prop shaft, front diff and front drive shafts all exhibit frictional loss and therefore when they are moving, consume power. When they are not moving (2WD mode) they are not consuming power. There is also a fair amount of power loss between the tyres and the dyno rollers...So an extra pair of tyres spinning an extra two rollers...you guessed it more friction.

So there WILL be a difference between 2WD and 4WD mode on a Dyno...I would guess around 10-15%...

On the road however it is a completely different story... the front driveline is either being rotated by the transfer case (when torque is being directed to the front) or in 2WD mode, by the road itself turning the front wheels. Irrespective of what is turning what, the front driveline is rotating so it is still consuming power.

So in my mind looking at GTR dyno figures in 2WD mode and comparing to RWD figures is not a useful comparison because it is not considering 100% of the driveline loss. Even with a RWD on a dyno you are neglecting to measure the loss from the front wheels and bearings as well.

It all gets down to what do you really want to find out...If you want to know how quick your car really is take it to the strip..If you like seeing big (slightly exaggerated) HP numbers on a screen, put it in 2WD mode and take it to the dyno... If you are looking for a simple correlation between the 2, stop looking because it is not as simple as that. (PS I know you weren't asking this but I know it will come up...)

cheers

bugger all because a GTR isnt fulltime 4WD, nor is it a 50/50 split like a WRX/EVO

The guy (he is THE GTR tuner) who does your dynoing does the same we do and simulate the small extra load, . That way they pull the same whether it be 4wd or 2wd.

    • I think the concept is highlighting the various scenarios where thicker oil helps, and thicker oil potentially doesn't help and only generates heat and costs power, in turn for safety which isn't actually any safer (unless you're going real hot). If anything this does highlight why throwing Castrol 10w-60 for your track days is always a solid, safe bet. 
    • Jason should have shown a real viscosity vs temp chart. All the grades have very little viscosity difference at full operating temperature.
    • Oops... I meant to include the connector  view... BR/W - power from fuse L/W - motor negative to fan control amp (and off to HVAC pin19) OR/B - PWM signal (from HVAC pin20) B --  ground  
    • Yep, if you are applying filler it sounds like there is something wrong with the body lol. Safe to assume there is going to be a lot of sanding going on if your still applying fillers.  Picture a perfect bare metal panel, smooth as glass. You lay down your primer, it's perfect. (why are you going to sand it?) You lay down the colour and clear, it's perfect. No sanding at all took place and you've got a perfectly finished panel.  You won't be chasing your tail, sounds like you were prepping to start laying filler. If your happy with the body after the sanding, there is some bare metal exposed and some areas with primer, no issues at all, start laying the filler. You are safe to lay filler on bare metal or primer (of course check your technical data sheet as usual for what your filler is happy to adhere to).  This isn't a 100% correct statement. There is primer that is happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. There are fillers that are happy to adhere to smooth bare metal. Just make sure you're using the right materials for the job.  Typically if you are using filler, you would go primer, colour and clear. I've never seen any instances before where someone has laid colour over body filler (maybe this happens, but I haven't seen it before). So your plan sounds pretty normal to me. 
    • I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
