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.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      WGNC34 Rear springs

      By zoomzoom · Posted

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
