Was a great day - thanks to all who organised it, and thanks to all who showed up!

I was gunning for the award for highest power with a downgraded (it hasn't run as well since I changed from standard Stagea/s2 R33/R34 with nylon compressor wheel to s1 R33 steel compressor wheel) turbo on a Stagea, but because of the amount of cars that showed up, I took my car off the list so John wouldn't have to keep all the staff there till 10pm tonight...

Thanks also to all who have been buying the SAU shirts and stubby holders!

nice cars out there.i was especially fond of the ice blue 33 on 19's.
I'll post em up tomorrow.

In the meantime I want to thank UAS for putting on a big effort for us and generously donating lots of stuff for prizes. As mentioned, John, Ben, Andrew, Tim, that guy whose name I didn't catch and Tim's gf; thanks a bunch.

Thanks also to Motul for sponsoring us by providing many litres of oil and other things for us to give away.

And we should also mention Turbosmart for their support too. Motul and Turbosmart are great supporters of club events like this and it's really appreciated.

Lastly, thanks to Jess, Nick and James for looking after things on the day. I was running around like a madman trying to help Andrew and the boys so having you guys look after everything was great.

Oh and nearly forgot, thanks to everyone who looked after Bob for me today. He loved it and is now sound asleep.

Adam we love bob so that was not a problem

Thanks Adam for the day and to Andrew, Jess and everyone that made it a good day, my boys had alot of fun checking out the "fully sick" cars that were goning on the dyno.

And spewing my car was playing PING pong on the dyno but I had a great day thanks guys!! :P

LOOF :D Nice to see that the rest of your family had a good time. Great seeing you and look forward to the next one

Cheers to Adam and John for all their efforts.

Jeers to my AFMs for going all emo after a single run.

BTW - What was your number Baron? 25x? At what boost? I was happy with my 242 @ 13psi with stockies.

252, 14psi. :) stock turbos. it's not bad actually. stock cams, stock injectors, stock intercooler, stock dumps, stock front pipes, stock afms. it's pretty stock. just cam gears, boost, PFC, front pipe back exhaust. :)

it was a gear day, thanks to Adam for organising it and a big wrap to the staff at Unique AutoSports, for coming in on a day off and work tirelessly dynoing cars and pulling driveshafts out and and putting them back on, and not just dynoing cars but taking the time to pre run inspect and alert owners of any potential problems, Thanks Heaps guys!

I took 144 Photos, they should be up in a few days time.

yes, thanks to Ben+John+Tim+Andrew and Tim's girlfriend + Jess + Adam + Nick for running such a good dyno day. absolutely massive turnout of cars. It must be a record for an SAU/UAS dyno day?

well done. :)

:)

Top day & thanks to all involved ! ( special mention for the girl who diligently stood at her post cooking snags all day, whoever she was )

That must have been some sort of Dyno attendance record ?

Great to catch up with people again :)

Good day. Good to see some faces I hadn't seen in a while even if they are driving hairdressers cars now......... looooooool

and on this topic, did I win the wooden spoon ? ;)

Funny thing is, I think I'm the ONLY person who got more power than I expected !! :) ( if you can consider 107.7rwkw power ?? ) :)

Thanks for the great day guys and gals. Nice to meet you and thanks to the organisers for preparing a well turned out day.

Anyway here's some pics for you, although I'm not too happy at how they turned out.

My apologies for not being able to take pics of all the cars, I was a bit lazy :) and alot of cars were parked in bad positions to photograph.

Thanx for the pics of my 34 gt-r (purple one ) as i havent taken any good ones my self yet !

haha. oh and also thanks to jhon who was nice enough to show me how hard its gonna be putting a pedal box in my car lol.

oh and those on the tuning side. is 24 degrees btdc on 1.4 bar aceptable? ie is that normal or retarded etc etc. just chasing why only 295 rwkw on 19.5 pound

Ok I have finally sorted out the 144 Pictures I took yesterday, skipped the poorer quality ones or repeats and here are 112 resized to a manageable size.

I have full sized copies of the pics taken (1936x1238), if you would like full sized pics of your car let PM me and i'll make up a CD for you.

Hey guys, was good to see some old faces.

So many new faces though. I didn't know the majority of people there. Felt kinda weird. lol.

Looks like everyone wants to be a photographer these days aye. :)

Loving the new shop John.

Big day and ran 46 cars on dyno which is 2 short of last year although one of those was the my zed. There wer a few that could not run asran out of day. One of our mechanics Ben had to leave just after lunch for a family engagement. As we originally had him booked or the Saturday earlier. Andrew coped for the rest of the arvo. It was great to catch up on some old and some new faces. Interesting to see what some of the cars did and I think obvious to most it was worth checking cars on dyno, even those recently dyno tuned showed what tune and power was like. Some cars showed all good, whilst others showed issues. Goes to show I that always a good idea to run car on dyno to check and see especially if modified and above standard horse power to prevent issues damaging motor. From what I see and hear SAu have the most cars on dyno for any car club certainly by far Soarer, Silvia FTO and 300ZX forum. Well done guys and what a roll up as car park was almost full. Next year gardeners won't be in the way and UAS will be fully set up and sure to be bigger and better and brake all records and run 50 plus cars. Big thanks to Adam and everyone who helped out and welldone as very well run.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
