Default My Skyline on the Dyno

Hi,

This is my 6-Cell custom Black Pearl Nissan Skyline with a spinbrush converted Stage 2 blue motor having just completed a dyno run, each time it hits 44KMH / 27.3MPH which I think is pretty impressive!



The torque from this thing is sick! Obviously that is something that my model speed checker can not read but when you put this thing on the dyno there is so much pull its just insane!! This was the chassis that was shredding up tires, that I orignally planned to use for my F&TF Supra but due to lack of space I swapped everything over!

I have a new EP coming with FETs so hopefully I can improve upon this speed.

Thanks,
Andrew.

Yeah in the US the only place I have ever found them is on ebay! Its pretty stupid because pay like $5 for the dyno and then $15 - $20 for the shipping but its the only way you will get one!!

They are good fun to have around but the problem I had with it is that if you put a short body on it, e.g. Skyline, Civic, Evo, etc, or if you have AWD you have rest the front skid plate up on the bumper of the dyno otherwise the car doesnt sit properly and you cant get its speed!

because ebay charges a fee based on how much the selling price is. if the seller cranks up the shipping cost, and then assumes that it sells for less. they get the same total amount, but a smaller ebay fee...

If you have $25 spare then get one because they are fun just to mess around with and I would say totally worth the money!

Mods to the car are:

Custom paint job
Red springs front and back
Stage 2 motor with spinbrush magnet upgrade - this is what gives me the torque
6-cell upgrade
Tenergy 1000MAh batteries - these are really nice! They output about 250MAh more than the RS rechargeables - I got them from eBay with the 6-cell upgrade kit for like $12 I think!

I think thats about it but check my web site for more info on this car.

Thanks.
