wow!! look like everyone has pulled out... well that about the same story with most of my mates that put their cars down on the list :P ....

I guess we beter make the dyno day some other weekend.

So, my appologies for pulling out so late but I will have to miss out on this one.

For all the people going 'have a great day'!

I'm not impressed with all of this at all .... except for Matt that has a serious family emergency, it's not fair to say you'll support something then back out at the last minute. It bodes very badly for future events and where will we be then? Why go to all the trouble of organising something only for people to say they're going to turn up, then back out at the last minute. (And I wasn't even involved in organising anything btw).

/end rant

Its a damn shame. We have to support organizers of events especiallly tuning shops as they have the backing to kick these things off. I know its an opportunity to drum up buisness, makes sense. Interstate seem to have a lot of events such as track days quite often - something I would like to see more of or should I say see at all. Morpowa are doing the right thing. RPM are doing the right thing. JMS drift days. Tilbrooks has events for SVD as a sponser. I hope this is a good day with reasonable numbers as I would assume Morpowa will think twice later and we will end up with nothing. I know people had legitimate reasons however it would be sad if people are leaving to follow others.

Just thought it should be said.

Timmaay.

Have a go. Then at least if you do any mods you have a baseline to start from. I am new to Skyline/Nissans for the last few years converting from V8 Commodores so I am intersted to see the older cars. Not embarassing at all. You could say I might be embarassed by GTR's its all relevant.

Very well said Greg (grepin). To be honest I didn't have any reason to do another dyno run 'just yet', but "was" intending to go to support SAU involvement. A recovering wife would've become ex-wife if I did.

It's workshops like RPM, Morpowa, Tilbrooks etc that are instrumental in helping the import scene grow in SA. We, South Australians, are very lucky to have the number of decent import specialist workshops that we have, given our relatively small population/size.

Talking of dyno runs, I will be hitting the dyno next Wednesday. Got a new custom dump pipe being made & the dump/front fitted with heat wrap. Add to that a few other exhaust system changes & tune tweaks. Should be a touch louder if nothing else :P

Whatsisname,

Hope all is well this weekend for you & family.  

The mods sound great.  RPM doing it?

Yep guys Tan is well :( Not as mobile as she'd like atm but getting there.

The lastest round of mods & dyno runs are being done at RPM. I'll be spending the day getting my hands dirty too (polishing stuff mostly). It would be nice to see a dyno run on the Morpowa dyno to use as a comparison, Martin would be the man to see for this ;)

Graham,

Hope your wife is doing well mate.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
