A great night, thanks a lot to the organisers for the cheap dyno run and the free ignition DVD's and redbull :(

The dis-organisation of the event was a little frustrating, I was down as the 3rd person to run and ended up about 20th or so, and I got to the front and had to let 2 feature cars go before me!

Was I the only one with stock turbo's on an R33 GTR? I want to compare dyno graphs with other people who are not running lots of mods on there GTR's (r32/r33/r34) :huh:

Anyway, I might be back to RE to get a PowerFC and a tune to Australian fuel, not the Japanese tune I have :(

Oh, does anyone know how accurate the boost measurement was from the dyno? It says constant 10PSI but my HKS EVC IV says low of 0.9bar high of 1.0 bar (14.7PSI).

Yeh i spoke to you for a bit out the front about this while you were waiting to get onto the dyno, What did your car end up making? I was waiting out the front in line when your car went on. I get my power fc tuned at RE and find the boost reading to be very accurate there. If anything I'd say your hks unit is reading incorrectly as opposed to the man pressure on the dyno. Might be a stupid question but you sure the graph your looking at is boost and not afr's? that might explain it.

I run a lean setup will within it's limits. 179kw @ all 4 can with current setup tune to make 210-220 ish, just in tunning. Speak with Ray at RE Customs he knows his stuff.

Ahh yes I remember, thats when I put myself in the line properly to prevent the queue jumpers getting past me :banana:

Hmm, well its possible the HKS is set incorrectly, does anyone know if it keeps its settings after complete power loss? They killed the battery after importing took errr >5months. And it *thinks* it has a low setting of 0.9 and high of 1.0.

But I don't know if its been through its "learning" mode for aligning the boost correctly.

I'm just reading the "psi" line on the dyno graph I got.

156.6 AWKW, aftermarket exhaust (not sure if its turbo back), greddy radiator, boost controller, mines ecu (Japanese tune!), and various mods to diff / suspension mods. It had pods which I removed and its running a compliance cat and compliance air filter.

I'll definitely speak to Ray or RacePace next month or the month after when I have some $$$ to spend on something like a PowerFC.

The turbo's would appear to be stock, or they were set to run very low boost.

Apologies for hi-jacking the thread, but is there an easy way to confirm that I have stock turbo's? Compliance advised its not possible to do this without removing the engine or similar.

Gareth

Yep absolutely massive turnout! easy 100 cars there ( 50 of them skylines lol) , there were even cars parked all the way around the corner on the main rd!

Great that there were no police/defect troubles.. but i its guess because everyone behaved themselves.

Was a little disorganised with the line of cars waiting to run, which inevitable blocked my car from leaving at 10.30 pm. but overall great event.

Powerwise they sound like stock turbo's, do you know what afr's the car is running? I'd say your hks unit is incorrect as you would be making much more power on 1 bar.

and yeh power fc + 1 bar or boost and full exhaust without that restrictive compliance cat and you'll be laughing. :angry:

This appeared to be a HUGE turnout...

I am shattered i missed this but i was away on Holiday and didn't get back until today.

Massive TOP work to Ray and his crew for hosting which appears to be a Kick ass night!!!

Hope none of you were sitting on my car :banana:

I don't know the AFR's. Yes, could be stock turbo's, I'm just been overoptimistic and hoping they're high flowed or something :angry:.

I mean the guy did everything but the *engine* mods from what I can see (compliance said it was one of the most modified car they had ever seen as far as mods go but I don't know if that was true or not).

Thanks for the info. The HKS unit probably has incorrect settings, there is a steering-mounted boost gauge but its hard to watch and there's no where on the street where I can reach full boost without it counting as "hooning".

some_cs_student what did you get on the dyno ?? i got a stock 33 gtr also, just has catbak / 14psi.. i didnt go on the dyno though sad.gif i left early.

156.6 AWKW, I got there at 7:45, it was so busy when I got there, I had a great night!

Great night with an even greater turnout...

I was really surprised with my car... ...I didn't think I'd get anywhere near 120kW... ...But I got 148.3kW... \m/ =^_^= \m/

But then today I was looking around on Wikipedia and it says that stock it should be higher... (-_-)

""ECR33 GTS25T - 2.5 L RB25DET DOHC turbo I6, 250 PS (184 kW, 294 N m)""

As this is the first time I've had my car on a dyno... ...I think I need to be educamated some more...

184kw is at the flywheel....which is why in general an R33 GTS-T makes like 130-140rwkw stock...

Ahh... ...Kewl... ...Thanks for that...

I think I might set a goal of 200kW by the end of the year... ...I have no idea how to get there or the cash I'll need...

I like settings goals... ...setting them... ...completing them is another thing... (:banana:)

3" exhaust, front mount and an SAFC/power fc...

It was a great night.

Good meeting majority of the SAU crew.

The reason the cops didn't give anyone a hard time was because they where involved in the planning of the event every step of the way. They came down to wave the flag, have a chat to myself and Ray to ensure that everyone would behave and in kind they would let us be and enjoy doing what we do.

Great turnout, great cars and be sure to get down to the next one in a few months time!

Which was your car? was is the silver r33 with the blue graphics?

Which was your car? was is the silver r33 with the blue graphics?

More purple... ...with stars on the hind quarters...

And the Decepticon logo on the tail...

All of which I'm now thinking of changing... ...to I don't know what...

    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches. 
    • Welcome!  Can't go wrong with a Stag.
    • Looks good. Nice height.
    • Hey all, a little help from the Stagea hive mind plz.. I'm days away from buying either a 2002 Stagea 250tRS AR-X Four, premium leather, power seats and all the old switches etc that go with it, or a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO, pov pack, cloth seats etc, with coil overs, sports zorst, comes with original zorst and suspension and parts. (I think I've got the models right?) Both are VQ25DET, have 160000kms, both straight no rust both with $2000+ in recent servicing receipts, both ride on aftermarket 18" rims. The Aero has a replaced turbo as well. I like the cool factor of the Aero car but the AR-X has never been modified. Neither have been driven hardly at all in the last 5 years. Any thoughts on which one or does it come down to personal preference? davemoto
