Cejay, Do you want to invite the Supra boys, since this track day seems to be slow going to organise.

Is there going to be a small donation to SAU like last time?

I'd say first priority goes to skylines but if some supras want to attend as well, it would be a good idea.

I think if we're worried about numbers, that we take whatever we can get to make sure it goes ahead.

I say welcome the Supras and bring more fun and competition into the whole Supra vs Skyline day

Are you kidding me??

Obviously you dont know how much power there is available for a small outlay from Supra motors - 2JZ and 1JZGTE for example... We would be made to look like Volkswagen's compared to big hitter Supra's.

I think that Skylines only is a better idea.

Its not about what I "don't know" as I wasn't really bothered about the 'power' or how I looked when compared to a Supra - I was more talking about the fun in meet and greet, especially if we're planning a track day down the track.

I would rather invite others than not go ahead at all because we cannot get the required 10.

Ok, I would probably say skylines in first, then if we're short on numbers invite some supra guys. A club contribution of 5$ sounds reasonable to me. That would make it 55$ for a dyno run. That would include the supra guys paying as well. At the moment it looks like we have six or so. Will draw up a list later to see who's in and out and post it up.

I say bring on the supra boys!!! It would be great to see their faces when we just lapped 3 sec's faster than them at the track day, with "Dyno proven" half there horsepower, or even less in some cases (I.E. the Mighty Starlet, and No. I'm not joking, it's going to wakefield)

Besides that, it would be a good meet, greet, discuss(friendly arguments) before the track day itself

By the way put me down for a spot anyway, I'll pay and some one might have to take my car for me anyway if I cant get the time off, but I'm still getting the car done. :)

Hi all.

I was told about this thread and thought I would contribute a little.

ESP are our club sponsors and we held our first club event at their Queanbeyan shop. The boys at ESP know their 2J's and RB's so you would be in safe hands.

Yes they do have a new Dyno Dynamics 4WD dyno.

Have a look at our website at actsupraclub.com for a video of our dyno day. It will give you some idea of their setup.

Click on the multimedia tab on the left hand side and select the videos in order.

Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm sure we can help make up numbers should we be required. On any normal dyno day, the shop would expect up to around 20 cars.

so what??? if your that embarassed about your car's power with all the work you've done to it, then sell it and buy a VW. i'd love to see a couple of big supras get on the dyno, and i wouldn't care if they smashed all of us with their power figures... i'd love to get my brothers JZA70 on the dyno after all the work and effort and money that he has just spent. you dont want to see that?

if you recall at the last dyno day, only 50% of the cars that went on were skylines. i think that it is just stupid trying to keep it to just skylines, cause it'll never happen....

9. LadyBytes GTR?? (will put GTR in to make up the numbers if we need, but it was fairly average at my last one).

Can people please advise if they are in or out.

+ some supra people.

Im not embaressed, I just know that the Supra vs Skyline thing has been going around and if we were to do a Dyno Day with them we would lose...

P.S. At least I know for sure that mine will put down a great deal more kw than yours :D

171 Gilmore Road Queanbeyan

Still need 10, so need more to come, even if they are non skylines. At the moment if its just around 10, not sure it'll take too long to run the day.

Happy to have an official time keeper or something :(

So you'd be more then happy to go on a track with supra's and win(overall), but if its a dyno day you'd rather not go or worse, not invite supra's because supra's will win(overall)? :(

I'm in. I can make it on the 8th but would prefer the 9th.

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
