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.

    • Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps  
    • So car is getting a few mods to the cage and some jacking points welded in Meantime Ol Silver gets a new gearbox and shiny clutch.  Old Box is being set aside for Clem  
    • Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.
    • Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way
    • Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
