400rwkw= 536rwhp over 650hp at the flywheel,
Thats unbelievable, No wonder you are happy!
Could you post up some pics and your dyno sheets mate please? :)
Should be capable of somewhere in the mid 10's!

Brumby,

It makes 500hp at engine
And around 400kw@wheels
As I said thats with no NOS
It's got 150 shot that can be hooked up.
Loves snaping axles. Time for a billet job

HUGE Cam got to love it!!

400kw = 536hp plus drivetrain loss

WhiteLS1ss,

Would be happy to post up dyno sheet just have to figure out how to do it.
Really cant be that hard!! Sheet shall be up in the next few days.
Old engine ran 340rwkw and ran a 11.4 in street trim.
This should be easy capable of mid 10's.
Sorry must of got my calcuations wrong but I no for sure it has 400kw@rear.
Cant wait to run some gas through it.

Brumby,

So does that mean my calculations would be right??

500hp engine
400kw rear??

Brumby
07-07-2008, 10:16 PM
650hp at engine would be closer. unless it 400hp@wheels Big power for a na well done where was it tuned

Was tuned, owned and built by michael at KANE Performance (Melbourne)
I'm 100% sure he said 400kw@rear. It's he's pride and joy but has offered it to me for a reasonable price so just couldn't say no. Haven't actualy got it in my garage yet but will by next week. Not to much street driving though dont think it's that wise. I'll get the dyno sheet by wednesday and post it up.
It really does look mint I'm wrapped, just a little to loud for too much road use.

Cheers Nate

Going for a drive on wednesday so shall fill you all in on all the goss.
I no he sais there is no traction in 1'2'3. Got the monaro bonnet on it aswell looks tuff as.

10-07-2008, 04:33 PM
I think you got your figures wrong, 400rwkw would be close to 500-530kw at engine which is 670+hp at engine. In a 383 hrmmmm.....one angry 383!

Yeah but I'm sure you dont want to see em had a bit of a accident the other day. Has not been a good week put it that way!!

Looking for a VT SS Rolling Shell now or a claped out one either way need one asap if there's any hanging around please let me no.

Cheers nate.

I might have my figures wrong but that is the cam in it for sure!!
Only just starts getting traction in 4th and by then your doing well over 200km. Believe me it's one scary machine maby just a little to scary for me.

As I said accident has happend need VTSS Rolling Shell ASAP for a good price any one got please let me no.

+1

sound like it might have a heap more power then your claiming being able to pull power skids and only get traction a 200km/h i reakon you got 1000hp. Love to hear a sound file of the car idling 272/272 cam would sound extreme

Hmm. Something's not right here.

At 10:26p.m. on the 07/07 (Monday) it wasn't in your garage. But by 11:51p.m. last night you say you had crashed it?

Within 5 days you have a bought a car (tough one by the sounds of it), crashed it, and now your selling the parts?

Guys smell what ya want i test drove the beast and it unleashed on me in 3rd gear smashed into the back of a truck coming towards me and did a 360 and ended up smashing into a gutter and stopping in the back of a tree.
I wish it was bullshit i'd be driving the animal right now but things went wrong now I have to fix it, thats why I would be asking for a rolling shell because the other one is f@cked. And yeah your right it did have about 600+hp I was speaking to the EX owner today, now I'm the owner because I wrapped it.
Going to fowles on wednesday to try and find a shell or cheap SS to solve this nightmare. I dont no why you think someone would waste there time writing crap WHAT"S THE POINT!!!! you dont even no me. I'm down about 30k I wish that was school talk. Think before you write guys..

I wont bother next time everyone just seems to like to smell shit!!
Thats what happend guys get over it, I no it will take me a while.
At least it's only money not lives..thats all I have to say.

Post up the pictures so everybody can shut up and apologise.

Until then as the saying goes.....looks like bullshit.....smells like bullshit....then it is bullshit...all 400rwkw of bullshit.

I have pics on my phone guys of engine tell me how to put them on here and I will, Now the story is going to change even more because I have decided to sell engine, gearbox, diff and all other parts that are still in good working order. After I get the engine and box out and dyno the engine which I have been told will make around 600hp I'm sure I'll be able to get a good $ for it.

But as you all want pics soooooo bad please explain how I do it and they will be on for all to see.

Cheers nath

Even give me a phone number of a trusted member and i can send via mutimedia and then they can post em up for ya all to see.

More than happy to back up what I've wrote and as I said before my power figures we misunderstood by me 400rwkw / 500hp@rear = around 620hp engine. Correct??
C'mon guys give me a chance I dont like people calling me a sh@t talker!!
Because I'm NOT.

Cheers nate.

Buddy, I think it will take a bit more than a couple of pics of an just an engine to dig you out of the p00 on this story. I think they will all need to see pics of the wreck and dyno sheets.

I am sorry that I do not know how to post pics on here but I think someone will be able to help you if you stay on line,
cheers. :)

I have pics of wreck, engine before and after, as I said I'm new to these forums didn't no everyone starts knocking you if you dont have pics.
I have no need to make a story up mate whats the point??
I joined the forum because I was buying a monster Holden but everything went a little pair shaped beleive me if I could turn back time I would of got to no the car a little better and it would still be in one peice. But unfortunatly thats not the way things unfolded. But all I can say that everything I have posted has been spot on (exept for getting my power figures wrong)

I really dont like looking at them as you can understand why, has been a pretty bad week or so for me but for everyone else i have no prob with posting up all the pics I've got as soon as I find out how to do so.

Going down to shop hopefully by the time I get back some one will give me some idea's of getting these pics up.

I am sorry Nathan, it may well have been that you had a pretty bad week and so you may have been very upset when you were writing them and that is why your posts came through sounding a little vague.
Some of the story has changed on the way through but if it was because you were upset and not thinking straight when you wrote your story I am sorry!
cheers :)

16-07-2008, 03:19 PM
No worries at all bud yeah my head has been scrambled hard this the last week and a half, but just sorting out where to go from here.

Thanks for being a good bloke hopefully there's a few more on here.

Cheers nate

I sure did pay 30k fot a VTSS as people say a car is worth what someone is willing to pay. If you have seen the time and endless money pored into this thing you might of considered it too. It is a lot of money dont get me wrong but the engine and box would be worth that so it worked for me.
Bought a CBR 1000 the week before aswell. Still getting to grips the fact the SS lasted about 15seconds before it was wrecked but luckly the engine and box diff are all ok so I'm sure I'll get close to my money back after they all go to one lucky person.

Cheers nath

Anybody got any ideas to get these pics up????

Still no one no's how I can get my pics from my phone onto the screen for you all. Anyway in a few weeks it will all be for sale so there will be pics for sure for all to see. Just gona take a few weekends to rip engine , box , diff and a few other things out. Then I'll have to dyno the engine so the buyer really no's what there buying. I'll be trying to sell engine , box , tripple plate cluch , and kass diff as a total package so if anyone's thinking of going down that path give me a few weeks or so and all shall be ready to go.
But beleive me who ever buys it be carefull it's scary fast take it from someone who has felt it unleash. I can comfortly say it will make 600hp if not a tad more on an engine dyno. Oh Yeah and there will be a NOS setup aswell for sale.

Cheers nath

Just had a phone call from a friend looks like engine will be sold soon just has to make 600@fly and I think that will be a piece of p#ss. hahahaha stoked!!

So gearbox and diff will most likely still be for sale, got a good friend who has seen it in the flesh and I'm pretty sure he will snap up most things. At the end of the day why wouldn't you no $$ have been spared on this puppy.

How i came to smash into an oncoming truck, was I was on one side of the road hit 3rd gear the SS went mental on me tryed my very best to control the loss of traction and there was an oncoming truck coming toward me.
He swerved as close as he could to the gutter because he saw me coming totaly out of control (it was 10am in the morning very cold roads around 5 degrees culcuius air temp so you can imagine how cold the roads were). i ended up hitting the back corner of his truck totally ripping of my bonnet and sending me into a 360 and up a gutter into the back of a tree. VERY SCARY!!

The bonnet looks like a coke can now I thank my lucky stars either me or the ex owner were seriously injured it was very close to being a lot lot worse. As i have said in my previous posts lifes can not be repaired but panels can. The front right shock ended up in the firewall, VERY hard impact. Soooo lucky the engine was not damaged will need new extractors for it but I shall be selling engine so extractors dont come with that. So I hope that explains how I hit an oncoming truck, and please dont think I was hooning guys because i just wasn't. I am used to driving turbo cars you have to wait for boost in turbo cars totally different power delivery in NA V8's especialy ones with 600hp @ fly. This is why I have decided to sell all working parts and call it a loss I'm sure someone else wil have a lot of fun with this 383 I think I'll just stick to my company car and CBR1000 for the time being.


Cheers nath

I promise guys and girls i will take some video footage of the 383 being dyno'd
making the big numbers i no it will and put it up on youtube for all to see.
But as i've said i do have pics of before and after of the car and am happy to post just dont no how.
Anyway it's not a big deal anyway what I've said is what has happend so just take my word for it, ( no I'm not on school holidays that would be my little bro and it's not him typing it's me ) Wish this stupid count thing would get up then I could send PM's ect ect.

The Title should have been at the start 500hp@rear would of been more realistic. And that sure is a lot of power WAY to much for the street.

Cheers Nath

By the way whiteLS1 how much HP or KW is your baby making??

Cheers Saj sending photo's right now should be up soon YAY!!!

Nathan I have just come back to the computer.
Firstly, Mate, I must apologize to you for doubting what you said.
That looks like a very tough car that you had there. I can see it had quite a few decent mods on it.:bow:
I am sorry to see how it ended up.:bawl:
Hope you get out of the deal as lightly as possible.
Cheers, :)

Hey Nathan, sounds like you had no insurance cover at all?
Will you have any third party damage to pay for?
Did the Police lay any charges or do you expect them to?
Looks as though it was a real bad week for you mate..:bawl:

No there was nothing illegal being performed at all as I said the roads were cold and slipery there was nothing I could do.
No one was hurt and any damaged caused by the accident has been paid for.
I was doing the speed limit there must have been a tad of oil on the ground combined with freezing temps and slipery road and thats what ended up.
There were no skid marks on the road because I wasn't doing skids it just lost traction which I couldn't avoid and that was the outcome.

At the end of the day as I've said several times no one was hurt which is the main point, there was no hooning involved, I grew out of that about 5 years ago!! it was just an unfortunate accident that I couldn't avoid.

I'm sure if I was doing anything out of the ordinary witnesses would of called police to report a stupid driver on the road which has caused an acident, but that was not the case so lets just be happy everyone is allright.

Cheers Nath

Pretty sure I will be able to re-coupe nearly all the money I spent buying the car just by selling parts alone. Engine , box , diff , brakes and other bits should get me up to around 30k.

Very sad at the end of the day would have been nice to enjoy the car for a while but can't be done. I'm sure bigger and better things are to come in the future. I'll just have to be happy cruising my new 07 CBR 1000.
Take it down to the island soon and have some real fun. Cant have fun on the roads just to dangerous and I value my licence.

Cheers Nath

:shock: ... (puts hand up to also apologise for doubting)

:hide:

Shit ... that's a wee bit of a mess Nathan and such a nice colour too.

(Notes old DaveHAT username :D)

Apologies for doubting here as well and even more so to see a rather nice gadget like that totalled.

Fingers crossed for some good $$$ recouped from the sale of the "leftovers".

:cheers:

EDIT: The engine sold for $20K? :confused:

Only if he was accelerating just before/after/during the truck impact. Doubt it.

strengthened gear set can cop 600hp so it's pretty strong and tripple plate cluch.

Wouldn't mind selling both together what do you think is a FAIR price??

have to drive home now should be back on line in about an hour.

would want around 5k for box&clutch.

Cheers nath.........might speak soon there's also a kazz diff up for sale??

Looks like you have a bit of power buddy would suit your ride nicely.

This is the "my ride" section, if you've got things to sell, go to the classifieds.
