The dyno was sus... same story every year!

Its there are a comparo. So across the board all cars are equal based on it.

The guys that run it, Mainline, have done so for the past 2 years... if not 3.

I've stood beside them each year aswell. Well, all except for this year as im not working for Cabin's Melb show this time around...

They are certianly not fudging figures or altering settings car-to-car.

I dont know much bout dyno readings at all which is why i say suss... Cause i dont know, but i thought the correction was set the same? Has to do with the temperature, pressure and humidity of the air. But on ferahs reading one time it was .99 and other it was 2ish... I am prob wrong but I'd like to know if it effects it differently anyhow. R31Nismoid im sure u would know. u seem to know your stuff.

Thats my reasoning of saying suss. Im not saying it was wrong.

Im not up with the latest gear from Mainline to be hoenst, but i dont think they use a lot of correction. Not like if you were using DD "shootout" which does all sorts of things.

.99/2 could have been any number of settings. If i was familiar with the Mainline gear i'd be able to tell you. Maybe if Sam see's this he might know as he uses one.

Could have been ramp rates, all sorts of things. Things that might need to be changed depending on the car thats being run as dynos are not a "one setting suits all" type of thing due to many factors.

SAU-Vic should have a stand at Semi Finals.

We used to do the May show when there was only one but it turned out to be a bit too much to organise so we made an executive decision to put all our efforts into Semi Finals which tends to be a bigger show anyway.

Expressions of interest will go up around late August or early September to work out some ideas on what the SAU-Vic will entail.

also the car audio distributers seemed to give it a miss due to rediculous costs for doing displays but will still do semi's though

yeah its more about lining pockets than promoting aussie skill. Shame its dying off as 5-6 years ago it was great and suppliers were willing to pnmp in heaps of cash i know we budgeted over 40k for autosalon over a year but we forever got burned by the organisers as well as our associate companies (audio). I hear the organisation has changed but once bitten twice shy....... and as sad as it is i would now probaly rather divert the funds to summernats and shit like that.

      R34 4 door side skirt identification

      By Rezz · Posted

      I've searched fairly extensively among Japanese websites but found nothing really like those skirts in your photo. The closest I got was Origin Labo side skirts however they look more 'complete' in that they have a finishing piece or tab at the rear of the skirt so it blends into the bodywork, unlike the one in your pic. For that reason I'd say the skirts in your pic could be adapted from another car and they didn't include that tab piece, or those skirts aren't copied from an existing skirt but an original design. Sorry I can't help out in regard to ID'ing/sourcing them

      There's a big difference between a car built with millions of dollars in R&D, and someone like yourself taking a normal sporty road car, and making it 5 times more powerful. At the same time, get a modern sports car, and you can turn them up towards the 1000hp mark a lot easier too. Also, give that Lambo another 20 odd runs, and chances are it too may break something.

      There isn’t really a cheap upgrade here. If someone made a decent, bolt in 6 speed that holds some grunt, it would do very well. The 5 speeds suck. You can put a - OSG 5 speed gear set into it. Ratios are tall so it zaps the “zing” out of it. Had one, busted it. - PPG 5 speed gear set synchro or dog’s. Ratios are even taller. - An overpriced Getrag. Nice to drive, expensive to source now. - A sequential of some sort. Expensive, very expensive. How many times do you pop a 5 speed before you throw the toys out of the cot?

      Yes, fair call. I don't have any special love for super/hyper cars but it was impressive to watch the Lambo line up against successive skylines without any problem at all.
