Heya Everyone! I have the most amazing news! I won highest Horsepowered 6 !!! YAY!!!

Got a nice trophy and some promo girl pics with cars.. waiting for them to be developed but some should be on the perth-wrx website...

OK the dyno was running EXTREMELY LOW!!! so much so a R33 GTR Vspec II with boost wound up to 1 bar only got 170 rwhp!

Mahy people were asking for re dynoes coz things were just too low...

However must give credit were credit is due the Formaz dyno team did really well! with over 120 competitors i did not see 1 stuff up and were always proffesional. so thats there free plug :-)

Congrats Dan!

Saw your car ONCE at motorvation hey! and that was on the sunday super cruise... talk about hard to find!

Sidenote: Did anyone notice: What happened to announcing scores over the PA?, with 100+ people craning to see the monitor screen, wasn't good.

Yeah they did have a mic on saturday but no one could here it anyway so i'd say they just packed it up for sunday.. hahhaah ahh yes the super cruise..... i did a burn out on saruday and got the most diff bounce i've ever felt... didn't want to do that again so i just drove it nicely on the final one on sunday! everytime someone did a burnout in front of me my car would COMPLETELY fill with smoke and then they would break something!! Orange datsun complete driveline snapped on saturday in front of me!!!

Well done  

I didnt find Formaz THAT low

I got 296rwhp on it and adam32 has 270 with his RB20

Thats all a stock but boosted GTR is good for on a dyno that reads properly, shared between the 4 wheels.

Yeah i know! The funny thing is that Vspec GTR that i mentioned which only pulled 170 rwhp had pulled 250 rwhp on the EXACT same Dyno a few weeks ago.... he even couldn't beleive it..... many of the V8's were getting there mates to sit in the back coz they though the wheels were sleeping but they were still getting low readings.... strnge.... then again wheel slippage can be a VERY big factor especially since it is a car show and every person that was on there had armourall'd there tyres!

Yeah i know mine aint the most powerful thing out there but i was happy to take the trophy and know that i have 60 more HP that a R33 GTR Vspec:uh-huh:

Cabin Auto salon is where I'm hoping I will be getting sweet real figures at though boys... Thats what I'm shooting at next time.... ND4SPD is doing pretty well though... dunno what my end result will be but money like most people is also an issue in this.....

Cabin is a ricers paradise..... i give it NO respect.....

What was your horse power reading........ Dan you must admit the dyno was set wrong if a GTR is reading that low..... Anyway well down.. i didnt see you there... i was with Perth WRX most if Sunday........

Daniel

Ahhh spewin Dan! I didn't think you were gunna be there!!! Yeah the perth wrx girls had some pics taken with my car on saturday.... i think one of the boys had a bad photo of one of em but when there was 4 of em draped over my car it wasn't bad! I was hanging out a lot with the subaru dealership guys there aswell.... sussing out the darkside for us skyline owners... unfortunately some of us turn to the dark side don't they Dan ehehehe!!

Xspeed R34 Gtr ushing out 550 rwhp aint that ricey to me when at cabin!:lol: I do admit though the judges certainly do like ricey stuff!!!!!:uh-huh:

    • Well, in the same way that you can't tell any SUV from any manufacturer in any size category from any other one, "sports" coupes now all look identical. Stand back and squint your eyes and the Supra and the 400Z and the GR/BRZ things all look the same. I was just thinking last night, when sitting behind a Subaru CrossTrek, that I have no idea what it is, how it differs from an XV, or a Forester, or an Outback, or anything else Subaru offer, and I couldn't tell if it was supposed to be small, medium or large. I contrasted that to the good old days, where a HQ Kingswood had familial similarities to an LJ Torana, but there is no way that you could confuse them, and how a bit later, the HX Kinger and the concurrent Torana and the Gemini all had familial similarities, but you still could not confuse them. Ditto the ugly Fords and Chryslers of the era. But now, a RAV4 looks like a Kluger, looks like a Yaris/Cross/whatever they're calling those stupid f**king things, looks like every other Toyota that's not a Camry/Corolla sedan.
    • The Prelude doesn't look that bad without all that lens distortion in those pics. Makes it look disproportionate when it isn't. Actually I kind of liked it at the Osaka Auto Messe earlier this year. 
    • Pour in the highest octane, non-ethanol fuel you can get and see if the readout changes. If it's dead bang on 11% then I would question the sensor. Another quick test, just take it out and run normal (in an american accent) gas-o-line through it and see if the sampled ethanol or lack of changes.   United E85 here in the land of drop bears does vary a bit, I've had as high as E87 (could be water in their tanks too, who knows)
    • Yep. And if you ever do, you'll just have to deal with it then.
    • E10 is pretty tightly regulated in percentage. Too much and engines can't adapt. Every incentive is against them to have too little ethanol though. The more ethanol the higher the octane.
