Rob, we are not really saying this either. We would like cars to have more power. Makes it easier to kick Holdes and Fords. :P

But what we are saying is that we find it very strange for an engine of that calibre to pull that amount of horses with the mods that you have done.

(Is it me or is this deja vu with the mid 13 drag times?)

I know this from experience.... as does 25GTT.... and probably a few others.....

A properly tuned FMIC (FMIC + fuel control) should give 30+ hp. I'll confirm that, so will Barrie at Barries Dyno and Steve at SST.

What you really said:

I spotted the possible confusion from a mile away, so I defined "properly tuned" to mean setup in conjunction with fuel control.

I put fuel control in my car went from 181rwhp to 219rwhp.

Nice. Same sort of gain I got.

When i put FMIC later car went from 241rwhp to 252rwhp.

And if you had "properly tuned" the s-afc to suit, there should have been another 20+ hp hiding in there.

Aahh dont for get boost is very relative as the standard intercooler is efficient at 7psi :) the more boost u run the less efficient the ic and more gains to be had when tuned with the bigger ic

You guys should be lucky i got 26hp from turbo upgrade , 2 psi jump and AFC tune! beat that :P

Only in the same way as a dyno mate (ie: under controlled conditions and with calibration).

Things like weight and diff ratio can have a very large bearing on terminal speed.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
