I had my R32 GTR Dynoed a couple of months ago. It had a pissy 139kW at all 4 wheels. The place that did this for me said that this was as per normal for a GTR. For a sum of approx $5000 they could easily get me 200Kw at the wheels.

Since this time I have heard that Standard GTR's should have approx 175Kw at the wheels. Can anyone confirm this????

Does anyone have any ideas as to why my car would be down so much in power. The only modifications are blow off valves and a HKS exhaust. The importer has done a dodgy job of installing a cat converter - but would this take away this much power.

Any advice on places to look would be very helpful. I don't want to go to a shop again as they seem to just want to get your money and rip you off.

Have you driven other GTR's? Reason I'm asking is that before I got my car dynoed at 2 places and I got 2 very funny readings. Apparently I get more power at 4 wheels than 2 wheels???? Personally I don't live off dyno figures, the dyno is just a tuning tool.

You running bigger rims BTW? Mods? This also affects dyno figures.

You should be getting more power in 2WD mode than in 4WD mode. 139 @ 4 wheels sounds about right when compared to 175 @ 2 wheels. (My GTS4 runs 115 and 145).

Dodgy cat install could well be creating too much back pressure, which will adversely affect power.

If you want more power, check out the latest HPI (GT-R special edition #4) for some cheap yet effective power enhancements.

For a sum of approx $5000 they could easily get me 200Kw at the wheels.

Watch out for places that tell u that your car is running shit and then say for x amount of $$ we can make it do this as its very easy to bodge dyno figures.

Take it to another dyno and get it checked out

I haven't driven any other GTR's. But i have driven many other fast cars. There is no way my car wouold be able to cut a qtr mile time in the 13's. I think it would struggle to be under 15s.

Does anyone no a decent shop in Sydney I couls take my car too and get an honest assessment???

That dyno figure does not sound right. My 32 GTR is running at 160kw at all 4 without aftermarket exhaust or cat. Have been told that is poor too! A lot of car that come out of japan run to rich. What is fuel comsumption like? Should get at least 400 to 450 out of a tank. $5000 to get to 200kw is a joke! If you have a good exhaust, hiflow cat, HKS cam gears and a good tuner you should be able to make 200 to 250 with a bit of extra boost.

Call Ben (racepace motorsport) in Melb. to set you on the right track (0397629421). A 500kw at wheels R33 GTR is all the qualifications this guy needs!

    • I'm on the AD09, strictly on the street. They are a very nice tyre, have done ~16k km and are near the end, might make it to 20. They are, in my opinion, very much just a street tyre. I wouldn't expect them to be equivalent to some of the others in your list on the track. Although I'd be pleasantly willing to be surprised. My memory of the AD08Rs is vague enough, due to the passage of time, that I shouldn't try to compare them, but I feel as if the AD09 is not quite as "sporty" as the AD08R was.
    • There's a difference between "selling" a product to someone (which, if you walked into a workshop or bricks and mortar store and bought and walked out with it, is just the act of buying and selling) and rolling your buggy into a workshop and having them fit non-roadworthy stuff to the car. And for the latter, let's ignore any potential legal loophole arguments that the armchair lawyer might want to make to differentiate between supplying your own parts to be fit by the workshop or getting the shop to supply and fit. The workshops that have been dealt with in the US for this are in the latter category. It would be near impossible to try to charge/attack/criminalise a shop for selling "for off road use only" parts to someone unless those things were intrinsically illegal in their own right, or had other legislation wrapped around them, such as there is for guns, pharmaceuticals, etc. Well, no. And you knew your argument was silly when you made it. And there is. it might be somewhat harder in Vic, but then that's the price you pay for electing the long list of (unts that you have to run the whole shit hole**. But otherwise, you can put an aftermarket or otherwise tunable ECU into a car and get it run through the whole shebang of emissions testing as part of an engineering cert and, so long as the tune is "locked" afterwards, then that modification is on the list that is approved on the cert. But....it is an expensive process. ** Of course, the (unts who make up a large proportion of the population that eternally try to get around the rules are also a part of the problem and the reason that you end up with draconian rules in the first place. By contrast, SA was founded and the government and civil service set up and run by very sensible types (largely German) who set up good structures that enabled a lighter touch of government on the somewhat better behaved population. it is only more recently that we have followed the rest of Australia down the criminal drainhole of penal colony behaviour and now we have to catch up with mobile phone cameras and so on.  
    • Not specifically the revamp Toyos. In the past I've used Nitto NT01s, which were essentially the same compound as R888 with a different pattern (that's what the internetz said, so just be facts). I did like the NT01, progressive fade, didn't go from grip to 0 grip in a split second. If you look at the serious street/track guys, most are either on Cup 2, A052, A050, AD09, CR-S or AR-1.  
    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
