I saw it, one of the first runs on Saturday.

The rear end wasnt tied down tight enough (I think) and the car moved forward and climbed the front wheel chocks.

It didnt instill me with any confidence in the dyno team, not sure what the final figure was for the car, but on that first run they only hit around 200kw (hate to think what could have happened if the car had lots of power)

200kw would be from wheel spin.. considering the car made 576rwkw

Doms rotor should have around 400, I have seen it run 360 with problems and I know there were a few dramas with the dyno over the weekend. I didnt see it run but I know there were a few complaints about the tie down situation.

Either way it was a good show all the same, with some great cars and bikes too. Would be nice to see some more hi tech representation next year tho....

Congrats cara for your trophies and dyno results,

Congrats also to SLED who had an amazing bike and a 34GTR at the show... lucky bugger. I was only told after the show that you were the same SLED on this forum!!

Yeah thanks Martin....I did check out your ride and the Sniper alongside yours, very nice.........would've liked to see you both pull a fuse and do a dyno run. The GTR's would've been a good crowd puller.

Congrats Cara & Pete on your trophies.

Pete - did you put the R34 GTR on the dyno?

Thanks Dave, would've been in it if they had a 4WD dyno..........I can't pull a fuse like a 32 GTR, I have to drop a shaft as well. :P

I would have if I wasn't working the whole weekend!! I ran it two days earlier at Southern Hi-Tech and had the dyno sheet on display instead.

R32 GTR... tuned at Southern Hi-Tech = 326.8kw at wheels (6/12/07)

Wow, I just notice the date on the fine print.......you gotta be happy with 326.

Congrats Cara, so what else do you have to do to make the magical 200rwkw you want (while still NA)?

umm...well the jets are actually 55 hp and not 75 hp which i origainlly was told ( i was given the wrong ones) sooo it would be a matter of getting my hands on that set and then doing a re tune to make sure everything is all good, and not running to lean or rich.....

but i have no more nos at the moment :P

and there is nothing coming up that i will need a full bottle for! (maybe in march/april tho when Debbie and Gary Myers come over for a one day event they were talking about at Gazzanats)

I would like to get some stage 1 or stage 2ncams in aswell as that will help with the n/a figure oh and a bigger fuel pump too lol :P

Yes pete, was very happy with 326.... I normally run 18psi which is just over 300 at the wheels but decided to wind it up to 21psi and see what happened!

I do have a few upgrades on the RB tho... :P

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
