less power than you... :P ...with slightly less boost. Very safe tune though.

We thought it best to get the car set-up and running good consistant times with a sensible tune and reasonable boost levels. Ringing the engines neck while trying to get the set-up right is a bit silly as these engines have a short life at 1000hp+. Its now set-up right and quite consistant as the last 6 or 7 passes have been 9.7's or better with all the 60' times being in the high to mid 1.3's. Mark says there is lots left in it (about another 120hp at the treads with further boost and tuning) so ill be flying back up in a few weeks to run it again with a bit more power and set-up in the car. Small steps are the order of the day...trying big jumps can leave you frustrated and or a big expensive mess to fix.

any idea of how long till you take it out? remember the suspension guide i gave you...its a good starting platform and easier to fine tune from there.

good luck

Thanx mate. it wont be for about a month or two ive got other things going on{work shit}

so i still have to bolt the auto in and get shafts made but i will let you know

i know its easy enough to make the power we just have to get it down the track

Ok dyno dynamics could read high but knock 200kw off the figure and im still making 300kw more than most :P

i lol'd.....to save an arguement...get Vic to do it in 'Shootout' mode...its the industry standard and cross-references directly to Mainline figures.

dyno's are for tuning anyway...racing is the true measure of performance.

id like to see it run so stay in touch before you take it out.

Haha its been a while since the last "flame someones dyno figures" session on here.

Nice work Superjet, sounds like a very impressive setup - be good to hear how it goes on the strip. I know RIPS has run around 150mph in a full weight R34 GTR without NOS and slightly less boost on an RB26/30 with the same or less amount of "turbo" so while I can't make heads nor tails of how different Oz dynos read, I know that if your head is good and the tune is nice - a 26/30 with a bunch of turbo, good fuel and 30psi can make for a very hearty amount of power.

Well done mate, glad it worked out well for ya.

Was good talking to Con last week, we discussed a few things and I told him to go for it as we'd been alot further than you wanted to go with the same bottom end setup.

Best of luck mate, get the gas on there and let me know how me old auto goes too :D

Rob is this the Turbo400 4WD you been working on?

Nah, this is a different set up alltogether.

The TH400 is all but done, I'm just waiting for the car to get here from overseas thats going to be our test mule.

    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car  
    • For that price you could buy the hypergear turbo (big fan as I run one) and the Haltech ECU..
    • +1 for the Elite 2500. Get some new knock sensors while you are at it (pretty cheap), look up the TAARKS Nissan knock sensor kit. You may also want to get new coils (R35gtr) while your at it (assuming your on stock ones), as they are a liability. Mine started right up and idled fine on the base map. Also go MAP over MAF, as said above, Haltech make this super simple right out the box. Another fanboy of DBW here, Outsider Garage from your neck of the woods make some nice conversion gear for the R33 (that’s where I got some of my gear from).
