3rd. The Dyno operator did the run in 3rd for a reason unknown to me...

I mean I'm not overly experienced with dyno's as we don't use them but I was under the impression dyno runs were meant to be performed in a 1:1 gear ratio... hence 5th in an R34 GTR

i was hoping to see some good lookin girls when i walked into autosalon but the first thing i saw was tosh's head! hahahahahaa. j/k - was good to bump into ya mate!

i liked it. few new things i've never seen before ie. lan games, 3on3 bball, beach volleyball etc. was good.

calibre of cars were good also. nice to see some hyper honda's there with k20 and b18 engine conversions.

bel garage was impressive ....... evo 9 circuit battle car is awesome - well done guys.

lots of bnr34's around which is what i like to see - is it me or are they everywhere now? :) was crossing the road going home the other night and a nice white one, lowered, stock looking went straight by me - crazy.

eh? it was a public show wasn't it? jeebuz.

Funny enough it was exactly as NISMO quoted in their specs on the car, 500ps, what we expected.

What you need to remember is the Z-tune was not built for an outright power figure & still meets all emissions requirements.

We only put it on the dyno at the owners request to get a before & after reading.

The torque figure was what we were interested in & that was pretty impressive.

There were some very high power figures produced throughout the day, congrats to the owners.

Was great to see everybody that came to say hello & thanks to everyone for their help at the end of the day.

Couldn't have done it without you.

My head is still thumping BOOM, BOOM, BOOM.

Cheers

321awkw, 430.5awhp, 1068.1Nm

damn that is nice. 320awkw is a very good figure. possibly even a little bit over the 500ps quoted. :dry: nice shaped curve too.

as for the run being in 3rd. the goal is to get as close to a 1:1 ratio as possible (which in a 34 is 5th gear). BUT most dynos in aus are rated only to 200kp/h so the primary concern is picking a gear that will not exceed 200kp/h, secondary concern is picking a gear at 1:1 ratio. The operator may not have been familiar with the 34 gearbox or diff ratios and probably didn't want to have to abort a run due to poor gear choice. I dont know whether or not it makes much (any?) difference. it's no big deal anyway.

nice to see you guys had the car there anyway. :)

      Blue slip

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?

      You just need a different blue slip shop (preferably one you regularly use as a mechanic), and make sure the coil overs are as close as possible to standard height

      Ethanol Content Sensor - Always at 11%?

      By Duncan · Posted

      yeah the sugar refining companies were pushing for the same in Oz originally, all fuels were going to have 10% ethanol to make them "cheaper" (noting, that the loss in l/100 might be greater than the decrease in price). I guess they won that fight in Canadia
