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.

    • It's all about selling non-compliant emmisions stuff, and things like tuning stuff that makes your car have more emmisions, a very small percentage of modifications and tuning go into race cars, the vast majority of tuning and mods, like catless exhausts, or non-compliant cats, go into street cars with registration  Like a gun shop can only sell to someone with a gun licence, if they don't, they are fined and even jailed, and whilst a gun is totally different to a tune, or a catless exhaust, they are still illegal for a street car As for customers, it easy, they send a letter and tell them to show up for an inspection, like if someone says your car is to loud now, if they don't show up for the test, they can cancel rego, just like not paying a traffic fine This has been happening for years overseas in other countries  I'm in no way happy about it, but, I think there is definitely writing on the wall for modern cars with emissions standards, which will effect tuning shops, parts suppliers and end users And like other countries around the world, it is the government's that makes the rules and regulations for street cars with rego What would happen to a tuner or workshop if they were investigated about turning off stuff in a ECU IRT emmisions stuff like engine check lights for cats, or removing cats, or putting in a lower cell cat, this is apparently all illegal IAW modifications to registered cars, or, retuning the car so that with even stock emmision stuff still installed, but due to the tuning, or parts, like bigger cam shafts, it will now not pass the emmisions test Yes, I am going into a rabbit hole, but going off what other countries are doing IRT everything related to emmisions........cars, trucks, manufacturing, mining, modified vehicles are a easy target Meh, time will tell how it goes either way 
    • This^^^ 100%. Endless Male Attention. "buy a cool car, attract females". No reality is the opposite. "Buy a cool car, attract males".     
    • Just wanted to share the recent dyno results on my car. 20lbs of boost on pump gas. Pulled the fuse on the AWD so it was only rear wheels on the dyno. It made 484 hp at the wheels. I asked the tuner to see if we could do something so it breaks the 500hp level, but he said that we were maxxed out on pump gas. If i wanted to make more power, id have to go to E85.      8739a97a-9408-4eeb-b769-108ff1678736.mp4
    • While there is no current law for the spoon, let's swap to a different utensil. Example, does the store get fined for selling a butter knife if it ends up being a murder weapon? Perhaps they cpuld be done for assisting if they *knew* it was going to be for such a purpose. But, if used properly, which was its primary design, it's a tool for a job that's legal. I could understand companies being prosecuted if they advertise their products for being road legal if they in fact, are not. Possibly, but not necessarily, the tuners for tuning a car to a non legal fashion(emissions), but there is always the possibility that the customer really doesn't intend to use the car, in that configuration, on the road. So long as the companies can prove they have conveyed how illegal it is to use the now illegal car, in a place where the vehicle must meet the laws, they shouldn't be punished. Not sure about other countries or states, but I've been made aware that I can't legally stop a client from taking and driving their own car in NSW, Australia, even if they owe the shop money. It must go through court to get the funds from the customer, and you need to get the police or roads covering body representatives to come and stop the owner from driving the car, even if I know how hazardous the vehicle is.
    • probably around the $1700-1800 fitted in his sizes.  The ar1 is heaps cheaper. Get on scumplace I got some A052 295/35/18 for $400 that had done maybe 20-25 hot laps of SMP.
