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.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
