It is _exactly_ what my graph looked like when i was spinning the wheels. Doesn't necessarily mean massive power (well maybe for Melv but not for me) just poor alignment or strapping. The dyno calculates your power depending on your torque but Millenium Motorsport was explaining that all the new software can recognise the different gear and modify the output to be closer to 1:1.

We asked all the hard questions today at Gavin's....

3rd gear was because 4th puts too much load for too long on the engine. During a power run its probably fine to do, but when tuning you want to hold specific revs for a bit and its too much load to stay on in 4th. *gasp* At least, thats my dumbed-down understanding of what Gavin actually said, which had lots of complex words in them (most of them were more than 1 syllable so buggered if I could understand them) and scientific words like "torque" and "kilowatt" and Stuff :bonk:

Uhm and the blips are indeed caused by power transfering cause the Thing that measures g forces and Stuff and decides when to put drive to the front wheels gets all confused :headspin: cause the car is actually sitting still. Again, this is a dumbed down version for I am but a lowly fridgie and he is the almighty Running Bear Who Works On Skylines With Sitting Bull ;)

So yeah, I'll bet THAT clears it all up.... :looney:

krawler - dont know mate u will have to ask them.

it was done at DYNO SOURCE a 4wd dyno and was just be re-calabrated a week before hand.

gavin sayed another one of his gtrs made 617hp on a engine dyno and on the dyno source dyno it made 387hp@awhp

and that car has the works done to it with a HUGE single turbo.

wouldnt mind seeing what it would make on another dyno, prob another 60hp all depends on the dyno and how it reads.

Why dont you bring it to the dyno shoot-out at all star tuning on Saturday!!!!

I wouldn't trust her Melv.....

Me on the other hand? ........well lets just say they don't call me honest Chris for nothing and not only that, I will come and pick the car up for you, so you don't have to bring the keys to me like you do with Erin :(

    • I'll just leave this with, holy shit, those cars at work are awesome, and this will look wicked!
    • Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...
    • Do you have any before and after photos? That's $200 just for the hydro blasting?
    • Yea pedal box and no abs
    • It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
