Hillzy,

So your currently not driving your car?

If its going to blow up it will blow up on the road. If your worried about running it up on the dyno definitely do not give it a boot on the road as the road is not a controlled environment; you can't hear or see it pinging so you keep your foot in to it and BANG! :)

Oh everythings fine with it. Doesn't miss a beat! The thing is thrashing it right to the red line a few times on the dyno makes me all antsy in my pantsy.

Is it very hard on the engine?

You worry too much. :)

Its about as hard on the engine as overtaking on the open road in third gear.

If this is your first dyno day come along for a look see; you'll see no cars blow up etc and how its nothing more than a 5second run to peak power and then off again. :D

haha

thrashing to the red line gets you worried? geeze, my RB25 spends 99% of its time on the limiter :dry: Ive thrashed my RB's more then most people on here will ever do... and not had one blow, let alone a power run on the dyno :P

as joel said, its a good opportunity to run it up anc check your AFR's and make sure all is A OK as you never know when your fuel pump might decide to cark it

Yes It will be at Boostworx again. Boostworx have the best price for a dyno day.

Myself I'm not too keen on spending $50 for a power run that some of the other dyno operators are charging when all you receive is a laminated dyno sheet with possibly a picture. GW does both 2wd and 4wd $40 and $50 respectively but $10 is $10.

I feel $30 is quite reasonable. A BBQ and Cold drinks will be available; Boostworx also has evap aircon so there will be plenty of air movement.

If the weather is possibly hot/warm it could be a really good time to hold a dyno day depending on how you look at it.

Its always good to have the car on the dyno during hot weather as you are able to find out how it runs in such conditions.

Is it pinging. Is it safe to give it a bit of a boot during hot weather?

So for those of you that don't have the car run up both in cold and hot weather it will be a good chance to see if the car is running well.

However... If the majority would like the day to be held a little later by all means it can be done. :rofl:

I personally don't mind the idea of a warm dyno day as its a good check up.

I'm glad that it is at Boostworx as all my previous dyno tuning was done there so I can compare results from the same dyno. Your point about having a dyno run in hot weather is valid as well.

Count me in.

Hey Shaun, hows things?

Car sounds just a little different now......

Hey Andrew,

All is going well just not as well as yours. lol

Have youy sold your black GTST yet or not? Might have someone that is interested if it is still about!!!

Hey ppls,

Unsure how this thread ended up closed; maybe I clicked something without realizing. :woot:

This dyno day is still up and running.

I'll look at getting peoples to start laying some $$ down to secure the day.

If we don't get the required minimum the day won't go ahead. Which is unlikely given the interest shown.

We need a minimum of 10 people to pay in full ($30), those that pay first get to choose when they want to run. Those that don't pay upfront don't get to choose and their spot may not be secured if there are too many cars on the day.

Its cooler in the morning. :(

Cubes,

What's the chance of Shaun spending a little time checking/adjusting on the cars? I was thinking of putting on the turbotech before this day and doing my best to set it to about 10psi and having it checked out on the day. Do you think shaun would spend some time adjusting it if its not dead on 10psi, or is it simply on-off the rollers?

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
