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.

    • Hey y'all! I'm curious about how y'all go about widebodying your cars. I noticed that when running a square setup, my front wheels are a bit more tucked in than my rear wheels. Not by much, maybe 5-10mm. This leads me to wonder - when I widebody, should I use narrower front flares and wider rear flares? I found a set of 40mm rear flares that I really like, and was thinking of pairing them with some 18mm front flares, but I don't want the car to look strange. How have others done this? Note, I'm in a sedan. Thanks!
    • And if it was anything other than an auto tranny part, it might be a problem. But seeing as all auto trannies belong in the recycling bin, it's fine.
    • I have an R32 Fenix rad. It is good.
    • All the schemas I can see, indicate your typical setup of ATF 'cooler' (read: heat exchanger) in the bottom radiator tank..ie; https://nissan.epc-data.com/stagea/wgnc34/5413-rb25det/engine/214/ ...but I can prattle on a bit here. These trannies have a thermistor in the sump ~ the TCU reads this and 1. bumps the line pressure up when the ATF is 'cold' and 2. prevents the TC lockup clutch from operating, until the ATF comes up to minimum operating temp (keeps the ATF 'churning' through the TC so it heats up quicker) -- trigger point is around 55C. In these conditions, the engine coolant temperature rises faster than the ATF temperature, and also helps heat the ATF up, which is why it's best to think of the in radiator tank setup as a heat exchanger ; the heat can flow in both directions... ...with these trannies, the 'hot' ATF comes out the front banjo bolt, flows through the cooler/heat exchanger, and returns to the box  via the rear banjo bolt. This gets a mention, due to the wildly different opinions wrt running auto trans fluid coolers ~ do you bypass the in radiator tank altogether, or put the cooler inline with the in radiator tank system...and then, do you put the additional cooler before of after the in radiator tank system?... ....fact is the nominal engine operating temp (roughly 75C), happens to be the ideal temperature for the ATF used in these trannies as well (no surprises there), so for the in radiator tank system to actually 'cool' the ATF, the ATF temp has to be hotter than that...lets say 100C -- you've got 25C of 'excess' heat, (slowly) pumping into the 75C coolant. This part of the equation changes drastically, when you've got 100C ATF flowing through an air cooled radiator ; you can move a lot more excess heat, faster ~ it is possible to cool the ATF 'too much' as it were...(climate matters a lot)... ...in an 'ideal' setup, what you're really trying to control here, is flash heating of the ATF, primarily produced by the TC interface. In a perfect world, wrt auto trans oil cooling, you want a dedicated trans cooler with builtin thermostatic valving - they exist. These should be run inline and before the in radiator tank system ~ when 'cold' the valving bypasses the fin stack, allowing the ATF to flow direct to the in radiator tank heat exchanger, so it works 'as intended' with helping heat the ATF up. When 'hot' (iirc it was 50C threshold), the valving shuts forcing the ATF through the cooler fin stack, and onto the in radiator tank heat exchanger...and you sort of think of it as a 'thermal conditioner' of sorts...ie; if you did cool your ATF down to 65C, the coolant will add a little heat, otherwise it works as intended... ...the 'hot' ATF coming from the front bango bolt, is instantiated from the TC when in use, so all/any flash heated oil, flows to the fluid-to-air cooler first, and because of the greater heat differential, you can get rid of this heat fast. Just how big (BTU/h) this cooler needs to be to effectively dissipate this TC flash heat, is the charm...too many variables to discuss here, but I just wanted to point out the nitty-gritty of automatic trans fluid coolers ~ they're a different beastie to what most ppl think of when considering an 'oil cooler'... /3.5cents
