I have used it many times in America RN.

But most are not from Australia.

And most are of guys drivng there cars.

There are not many guys putting ther cars on youtube.

Everytime we do something large it should be on youtube.

In American they have run where you will find 500 to 1K cars from one manufacture.

And we should do the same because Australia is the largest importer of skyline from Japan.

People in the states are youtubing there dyno runs.

Lets show the world our dyno runs.

Dyno videos are quite boring - but ok. What about a youtube video of your car just going vid? :P

I'll do one when it goes on for its full tune, but here is one done while in the "working through bugs" stage... its venting externally as part of an elimination process to find out what the cause for wastegate creep I have been experiencing is. The conclusion is the wastegate hasn't been getting enough flow, as it still creeps and you can hear when the wastegate first opens that its not actually letting much gas by until the turbine actually starts getting a bit of pressure so have had to rework how the wastegate bypasses gas past the turbo. In the mean time it has been road tuned to make sure its running semi-ok and to trace how much creep it gets.

Anyway, clip of a couple of runs on our bit of test road.

Vrooom?

From the recent qld dyno day, courtesy of Col-GTSX:

I have one of my own dyno run that I could upload as well, but honestly, even watching my own cars dyno run is boring. My camera clips most of the sound out to begin with, then youtube just makes it worse. Not being able to hear just how loud these really are (or are not in the case of my car) is just sucky.

unless the cars either yours or someone you know, or the car is making 1000hp, there fairly boring to watch IMO

Even then its boring.

Unless your big power machine starts smoking up its tyres on the dyno, or blows its engine, or some other "wow" beastliness, a 1000hp run looks no different to a 200hp run. Oh look! The rear wheels are spinning on some rollers and its making a lot of noise!

    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
    • You can probably scrub the rust with a toothbrush or something. After you get the rust off flush well with water to neutralize and you will probably want to also use a fuel tank sealer to keep it from rusting again.
    • The sodium citrate solution is designed to buffer the citric acid to keep it from attacking metal quite so much, the guy that came up with that recipe did a ton of testing on how much metal loss occurs over time and it's nothing crazy unless you forget about it for months:   
    • Ohhh I see lol To be honest the main reason why I wanted to start modding is because of a business trip to Japan and Indonesia. I saw many cool and modded cars all throughout in these countries, especially Japan. I myself am of Chinese+Japanese nationality and when living in china (never lived in Japan js my dad side lol) I remember staring at these cars pass by with their loud tacky exhausts and insane wide body kits. And when I went back to Japan, I got even more invested even asking people about their cars and why they modded. Most gave similar answers to what you said but funny enough one guy just said that he saw the need for speed movie being filmed once in Tokyo I think near Shibuya Crossing and got inspired to tune and mod. After that I just started to fantasize on owning a car like that. Also tbh I prefer the R32 over the R34 it's just the R34 is more iconic lol (also apparently better aftermarket support than the R32) and my only goal really is just to make the car mine and make it fun to drive. As much as I love my Cayenne it's pretty bland to drive. Sure the interior is nice and pretty, gives you attention yada yada but I've wanted to experience what it is like to have a car that is truly yours. I suppose thats the goal so far. Haha if you find where I'm from, then sure. Ill help you out on your next "financial decision"
