HUGE DAY possibly the biggest dyno day on record certainly for us. Anyone been to a bigger one?

Adam great job and not easy hey. Big well done. Most enjoyed the day and some thought our air fuel ratio was lean and then some rich so not consistent either way, so guess it is right. We did have the odd problem with air temp sensor which had a dicky plug new one ordered a few weeks back and arrived today, bit late. The inlet temp reading went through the roof, like 150c and so dyno compensated and gave a few rare cars huge power so rerun and all were right in the end. Some cars pinging whether customer wanted to believe it or not. Some only slight and one R32 GTR fairly stock pinging quit a lot and running lean so could save his engine by coming this day. We would have liked some time to do some demo's and before and after but I think over all a great day. Beer Baron you consistent jocularity would ahve been welcome on the day as always.

It actually WAS strapped down when it did that, then they decided to strap it a bit tighter.

In the first place I had to ask Ben about 6 times to strap it down

Ben is a great mechanic and tuner not so friendly. He was also under immense pressure mentally and physically and takes his work very pationatley and serious. I have had or tried mech's who are talkative and super friendly but don't do good workand shoud be in sales.

Makes a good story I guess. You told us it was stock 6 times so are we supposed to be mind readers or interrogate customers more?? It takes longer to strap cars down and if we strapped all down would not have got through 50 cars. Your car was impressive especially with stock air box which is testimony that ram pods are not needed. There are much lower powered GTR's have ram pods and have the noise and sucking hot air.

Adrian I have never seen NOS on dyno before and that damaged me and messed with my mind as SO IMPRESSIVE. Instant power and no lag and more power everywhere.

Thought someone could have brought something along to beat my zed, he he...

Will do it again in about a years time give us some time to recover. It will only be bigger and better.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
