Obviously we were mistaken. If people want a dyno day where making $ is the prime consideration over car performance then I suggest you go somewhere else.

As for our existing customers from this forum and any new people interested in the technical side of things, we are more then happy to have a chat about your plans ;)

I guess this just makes my point. Thank you.

The idea of a dyno day isn't to "build a report" with potential customers, or to have a 30 minute chat to them about "what their car is doing"... Neither is it day where "making $ is the prime consideration".

The idea of a dyno day is to run what you brung, and compare power figures of cars on the same dyno, on the same day. Get the car on the dyno, run it and get it off, so you don't wait around for 4 hours to see your car run.

As for your suggestion of "go somewhere else", I shall take your advice if I ever organise a dyno day, and will pass on your sentiments to anyone else who may organise one. Thank you again.

Merli you have a different perspective on what a dyno day should consist of. I for one enjoy the discussions with everyone while other cars are running and I'm not in a hurry to 'Get the car on the dyno, run it and get it off'. I'd rather have a few minutes to maybe fine tune a few PowerFC settings without having the next person hassling to get onto the dyno so they can leave.

I vote you're first on the dyno for this day being organised.

Anyways, wherever you guys decide to hold this day I'll be there.

Absolutely. That's the whole point. To discuss with other owners what mods they've done, and to see the results.

I take it you have never been to a Unigroup dyno day then? If you're sitting there for 2 hours, and only see 4 cars run, it gets very boring, very fast.

Get the car on, run it, get it off, and you can chat to the owner outside whilst the next car is running.

Performance Forum's dyno day at CRD was *EXCELLENT*... One of the best I have been to. There was a line of 2-3 cars waiting to go straight on, it took about 10-15 minutes per car (depending on power and the level of strapping/ballsat needed)... Run the car, get it off and people can go and chat with the owner when it's off... The car doesn't need to sit on the dyno for 30-40 minutes for you to chat with other owners about their car...

Feel free to pass “my sentiments” onto who ever you wish to :)

At the end of the day we like to know that our customers have the utmost faith in our ability to achieve what they desire. If in the past we have been slow at times then we apologise. But we’d rather take our time and do the job right (like strap cars down properly) then just hurry people up for the sake of efficiency.

After all if the people want to chat and make a dyno “day” out of then we shall do so. Since the majority of people whom I’ve spoken to prefer our way of doing things then that’s the way it is going to stay.

I wouldn't mind having a run at CRD either though coz i've never been there and would like to know where the place is and what services they offer etc.

      V37 Radiator removal

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You don't need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator but depending on your plans you may need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic

      If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
