Only 3 more sleeps to go :D Can't wait... I'm eager to see what difference in power I will get - hopefully it's not too big considering the last dyno tune was 2 weeks ago :P

Anyways, IMPORTANT NOTICE:

All forum members attending this official SAU NSW event, who are not SAU NSW Members yet - please consider joining up on the day. A lot of hard work has gone into organizing events such as this one - all support (primarily through memberships) would be most appreciated to keep the club going strong!

Thanks

:P

darn, 2 and half more bloody days, :D

I have a missed match wheels at the rear,

1 is 255/45/17, the other is 225/45/16 ( stock r32 rim)

going to be alrite?

my other wheel at MAGman shop atm.

his takin his time! :)

If both of those tyres were new the first would 2.08 metres in circumference and the second 1.91 metres. That doesn't sound safe let alone able to be put on the dyno.

Could you put another stocker on there?

i MIGHT not be able to make it to this. Steering rack has to come out as my power steering completely shit itself on sat night. Felt a slight shudder, HICAS light came on, smoke started pouring out from under the bonnet, out from the front left wheel arch and from out the back. Steering rack just started squirting out oil =/

So it will be a mad rush to see if i can get it done by then

FACT: Smaller diameter tyres/rims make more power on a dyno.

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
