I had my r32 GTR on 2 Dyno's

At croydon at all 4 wheels it had 139kw

At Unique Auto Sports it had 178kw at the rear wheels at 11psi boost (same as @ croydon)

At Unique Auto Sports it had 208kw at the rear wheels at 14psi boost

The only other mods the car has is exhaust and BOV.

So at Croydon, where it made 139 awkw you were also running 11 psi boost? 40 kw seems like a big difference even taking into account the difference between 2 and 4 wd. Did you quiz them at all?

Yeah I had 11psi boost at Croydon. I had only recently got my car so I was unsure of figures. They told me that was a fairly normal awdkw figure for a GTR. I thought it was a bit low thats why I had the car checked at Unique.

This is really interesting. Prior to purchase I had my car dynoed at an independent 4 W dyno shop here in Canberra and it pulled 180 awkw. Yesterday at Silverwater Auto Services who apparently pride themselves on the accuracy of their dyno it pulled 130 awkw.

I know dynos aren't dynos but given that both runs were on the same boost, about 9 psi, this presents me with a bit of a dilemma because I don't know if there is a problem or not; 50 kW is a hell of a big drop although I note that it's about the same as the increase you experienced going from four-wheel to two wheel dynos. I really don't think it it was in 2wd mode the first time but it must've been.

Did the guys at Unique say anything about whether they felt that power readings there were fairly typical of what your car should be producing?

does your car feel like it has lost a shitload of power since u have had it??

coz im oretty sure u would feel that sort of power loss?

Bretto;

No I didn't notice, I agree that I should / would have. But I suspect that the dyno here is optimistic.

Good news is that the problem has been found by the guys working on it. Would you believe the throttle wasn't opening all the way?! Checking for power loss Rule 1: Is the throttle opening fully? I guess neither they nor I believed that it could be the case but...there you go. Latest reading is 168 AWKW at Silverwater on standard boost ie .7 bar and with an exhaust. Doesn't explain the difference in inital readings, but I'm happy to put that down to an optimistic dyno here.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

i thought the figure was about 140 awkw standard. My r32 GTR started with about that figure then i added a power FC and full 3inch exhaust and got it tuned, gave me 180 awkw then i fit an AVCR, HKS filters and screwed it to 1bar boost and it gave me 210 awkw. I also read that GTR's pull 140 awkw in standard form in an issue of Hi Performance Imports.

    • 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.
    • How much work to get you in the 55s? Or just more seat time?

    • 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.
