I had a ball. Thanks for organizing a great dyno night Kennedy :)

Your welcome mate. Thanks for coming down

yes. and your 15% lower figure was pretty much on the money.

It certainly appears so....99% of the time

yeah nice work kennedy!!!! Was a top afternoon!!!

Your welcome hon. Thanx heaps for helping me maintain my diet coke addiction

GTR > 360 Modena

Sorry Ferrari fans, the numbers don’t lie.

And I thought all the talk would have stopped after Fast and Furious 1. LOL

Thanx for coming down Steve

Well all and all I think it's safe to call the night a success. I put the last car on at 1.30AM and we still had about 20 people there to watch it.

We started running cars from 3PM till about 6PM...stopped for a 45min break and then ran non stop till 1.30AM. A total of 39 cars competed from a wide variety of clubs, tuners and what not. I put alot of effort into this event and whilst I"d like to say that I did it for money (I volunteered for this...I did not get paid by DRC) or to better the car club culture or some other wanky reason , the main reason I did it was for you SAU guys. With the photoshoot article last month in HPI and events like last night, the mighty SAU reputation for performance, friendly culture and a "no hero" mentality is fast growing and commanding respect from the entire Sydney car scene. So a BIG thanks to Dave for taking out top honors of the day with 261.3 AWKW and keeping SAU on the map.

We had all types of cars have a crack from a 44KW starlet to a freshly rebuilt 2JZ IS200 what put out 243RWKW (but we didn’t push it very hard at all as it hadn't been retuned.....it got nowhere near redline). Surprises of the night was a turbo SSS at 201.4KW, the fact that no cops showed up and the fact that I didn’t pass out from exhaustion from the night :P:)

I would like to thank Adam @ DRC and his crew for letting me use their workshop as my playground, I'm sure they weren’t prepared to be up until 2.00AM this morning still going strong. Big thanks to Ignition DVD (should hopefully be on it next month), Fast Fours for their free mags and to everyone that attended a BIG thanks to you guys for taking the time out to come. I hope you had an enjoyable time.

I had alot of questions last night about when the next one is going to be on.......to be honest, I haven’t decided yet. If you have any feed back about anything then please feel free to get in contact with me and let me know. I would love to hear anything you guys have to say as I don’t presume to know shit about organizing Dyno Days...this was my first one.

Anyway....I just got back from drinking and fishing all day on the Hawkesberry so I'm gonna grab a kebab. Catch you guys later

Yeah cheers to Sam for organising the day. it was fun even though i recorded such shit figures. found out the timing has been set back to factory but the altenator was dying so the plugs weren't getting enough voltage and where misfiring on boost. the altenator totally shat itself this morn so i'm carless for the next few days.

amongst other problems i have to get fixed the wastgate and manifold gaskets are almost gone so the car wont hold boost.

Anyway thats my excuses for 103.5RWKWs but enough of my depressive whining.

Will hopefully do better next time

Maybe the ferarri was quiet on the dyno cause normally all the noise they make comes from the gearbox... which would've been around the same frequency as the noise the dyno itself was making... iono?

I'm sorry I missed it. :pirate:

How smooth or flat was the curve?

I remember seeing a brand new M3 on the UAS dyno, the curve was a perfect line. No divots, no "curve", just a perfect line like this ----> /

...Freakin amazing engineering.

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      By The Bogan · Posted

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
