I will be coming on the night but won't be dynoing the car. I 'estimate' that I'll be answering many questions and meeting many people.

Everyone will make at least 296rwkw with their SAU sticker. Can you please bring mine on the night Karen? I want it for the drive home lol.

As for no two dynos being the same...that is why Shootout mode was developed, so that there would be consistancy between dynos no matter what the ambiant temps or air densities were.

Good to see your coming Dan...

Guys one week to go... Dont forget the actin starts at 6pm..

Ill be there with both cameras and will cut a small clip of the event to help cross promote the night with the club...

OK UPDATE:

I have been and visited the workshop and meet Richard in person. I have to say it looks great. Their workshop and work eithic is awsome.

We have more parking room then you can poke a stick at. We will have plenty of standing room for the dyno. Plus the boys their know their rb engines well..

While i was there they were dyno'ing an r32 GTR. Stock as a rock with a simple cat back exhaust and an AVC-R installed (runing 0.9 bar) and it hit 230rwkw... So that sounds to be to be about right to me in terms of a true figure.

They had 5 skylines in their workshop and a VL turbo and a couple of S15's in the nissan family. On top of that they had 4-5 cars out the front also booking in for work. These are busy boys, their workman ship looks good to me and they are very friendlly.

Anyways i am happy about the location and hope to see all of you next thursday night.

IMPORTANT: Please look at the updated map in the very first post. Its easy to find once you get there. Is set back from the road in an industrial area. So we can make lots of noise.

Thanks Col

NOTE: Richard thinks we may be able to squeze a few more cars on the dyno and any R33/34 gtr's that want to run. Richard will drop your front drive shaft for you and put it back in (10 minute job with a hoist).... So the guys on the list are going on the rollers and maby a few more if there is time...

Cheers Col

I would estimate that i would be putting out stuff all, but a stock car would do that really. :) not going to embariss myself.

My car is 100% stock, I just want to see what I am starting at, see the graph so I can compare it with future mods. Now most people cant laugh at you cause their cars started stock once.

Heya guys...think i will pop by and have a lookie at the event n meet up with fellow skyliners...will i be able to dyno my car if there are available slots? :D
I totally forgot bout this thread! Count me in if theres a free spot! Eitherway will be there...

Jon

Yeah guys the list is full but do not worry... Richard said we will run as many as possible...

Just turn up and if there is a drop out or time to spare you guys will be more than welcome to run...

Cheer Col

Dont forget guys we need some of you there from 6pm... Ill be videoing the event and taking pictures to cut togther for a promo dvd....

I will a be a spectator for this one, got to renew membership Karen.

See you there.

Would organizing a meet up for the southerners be outa the question?

I'd be in for a meet up on the southside....will need to get a head start though to beat the peak hr traffic...

    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
