Thank you all who came to watch....

Special thanks to those who ran on the night....

Congrats Tim who is a newbie to the club who ran his R33 S1 for the first time...

On a down side thanks to those who left the carpark at a million miles an hour and attracted the police to the venue towards the end of the night. Just the sorta attention we didnt want, as they were sitting out the front waiting for more cars to come out.

Great night...I'm glad I got a spot last minute...happy with my results :( Thanks col!

Can't wait for the final results n pics!

Yeah no worries guys... We will do it again soon...

Also just remembered all who ran on the night check you water/coolant levels as there was quite a bit of coolant on the floor after the night was finished... Probablly just overflow from hot motors, but never the less always check over the fluids after a thrashing.... I mean dyno run...

Ill let you all know when the next one is...

Remember we will use the same dyno so we can compair figures... Also we got through the cars faster than expected and were out of there by 10pm...

Will post up all figures tommorrow...

awesome night col. nice to meet a few faces as well. Was really surprised with my car as it was the first time it was put on a dyno and being 16 years old i would never expect that sort of figure. anyhow awesome night and maybe next time someone should put up a sausage sizzle rather than go to the nearest maccas lol. :O

Thanks for organising it Col. I was happy with my results cant complain, next time this comes up im hoping I've done a bit more with it. Nice meeting some more of you. Oh and the SAU sticker is proudly mounted on my passenger side rear window, thanks Karen for bringing my membership pack!

John ran 208

Shane (47APN) ran 208 aswell.

and i went in thinking i would get 160-180, a million.....

i thought john ran 207, not that i'm counting. looking forward to seeing what i'll produce with new ecu and tune.

Yeah there will be a conclusion today with photos and final results...

For those who left early my car went back on the rollers cause they lost my saved file and had not printed my sheet yet. So i got an extra 3 runs... I got to 198rwkw with 486nm of torque... So i have a fat torque monster. Which is what i wanted... I had the second highest torque for the night, right behind j-boy...

The yellow banana sure can scream...

Pfffft well mine ran 178rwkw (where did the other 20 go :O) and according to the graph 1268nm so mine is THE torque monster Col!!!

Im actually going to a dno dynamics today to run it in shhot out mode, as I am unsure why my reading would come out like that, somthing suss obviously

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
