I won't get into a debate on dyno figures with awd cars, needless to say I have ever agreed with any figures produced. Though due to their differing designs I would reckon you couldn't standardize the lose figures in to same way as can be done with either fwd or rwd cars, best to look at the performance results like what swamp has done and guesstimate the HP/weight.

Also best to disregard the 1/4mile figures and look at ingear figures, say 30~130mph to gauge any PTW figures, this way traction is taken out of the mix which will blur figuring cars like the GTR.

BTW, as an example of how different results can be a (stock)GTR has been dynoed at an estimated 560hp in Japan.
Several cars here in the US have dynoed around 450hp at the wheels which translates to around 550hp if you base it on 18%. Vividracing from 6speed that specializes on Porsches dynoed a GTR at 457whp.
