Thanks to you all for coming and big thanks to SAU crew organising it.

In regards to the EVO8 (FQ400), we still have lot of tuning to do and try different cam combination. We believe we could crack 350awkw on pulp.....we'll see how it goes next week or so.

:P

Thanks to everyone who had some involvment in organising the day. While I got to run after the kids all day, Keith got to talk to some of you, which was good :P Have photo's which I will put up soon. R34 not running well at all, breaks down about 4500rpm, will need a re-run when problem is fixed!

Well what a great day!!!! Arrived at about 1:30pm and couldn't believe how many people/cars that were there.. Really great turnout..

Big thanks to the SAU committee for running a very smooth and trouble free day, and more importantly to Ray and his boys, they went through 40 odd cars on the dyno, very quick and efficient...

Thumbs up to RE Customs!!!!

Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come down, renew their membership, join the club or just to hang out and have a chin wag!

Big thanks to Mav for organising and the rest of the committee and anyone else who helped out on the day and made it successful.

Also, huge thanks to Ray and RE Customs for hosting our event. A great supporter of the club!

As for my day, very disappointed by results. About 75kw down on what I exepected but meh *shrug* I guess I'll have to work on it to bring it back up. Tune looked pretty crappola so Ray is going to have a look at it along with a couple other little issues I have with the car.

Congrats to all the prize winners!

Sounds like a great day and some awesome power from the Evo 8.

Well done Mav for organising and good team work from Chris and Scott on the BBQ by the look of it.

Finally we see a picture of the hoist Matt's 34 seems to live on! :P j/k

Kyle Como 98

woo! 5 free kw's! :P

Awesome day and as well a big thanks to RE for hosting the event! Such a pitty I couldn't have the R there but hopefully by the next one she'll be going strong and i'll be in it for max power not least :laugh:

Nice to meet the Vic crew, thanks Matt for letting me go on the dyno....... There where some awesome cars and the kw's of the other r33's where mad.

I am sorry I let the r33 GTR boys down.......

Yes it is my R33 GTR with 143.4 or 144 kw @ the wheels. I was very disappointed when I went home and checked againts my other sheets. Then a brain wave hit me AVO was done in 3rd gear..... 175kw 2 months ago......

So I thought some more 2 months panel beater no driving dust..... OK maybe it might need a service and a tune.

ReCustoms and my first dyno done last year before my NISMO parts where done in 4th so thought OK I will check it out what I have lost 15kw in 4th WTF......

Then I hooked up my notebook to the ECU on the GTR on Sunday morning..... ECU is in limp mode WTF..... Checked a whole heap of stuff timing is out, this is out this is not set correctly, boost wound down by it self from 10 to stock........

So I thought some more, I had a flat battery when I picked it up 2 weeks ago. OMG the ECU is reset back to Factory!

So my plans now is as follows paint protection then new tyres because the ones I have are shot......

Then off I go to get my ECU remapped and boost wound up. Next year unfortunately :P

BTW the things that are on my car is as follows for those interested

NISMO Highflow CAT

NISMO Highflow filter

HKS CAMS kit

Speed Limit override AVO

If you want a stock list it is as long as most of your guys MODS list :unsure:.

They are the only things changed on my car. But my car definately looked good. ;)

For those interested My car was resparayed at Lightwood Autos 6 Newcombe Road Springvale. Ask for Travis

Mav. well done..

It was a great day

And thumbs up to Ray and the guys

Also Paul n Sarah for spending all day on the table doing memberships ....

Not to forget Chris and sometimes Scott on the BBQ

Cheers .......

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
