sorry if every one thinks i am a cheap skate, i forgot to put a wink on my original post so it was meant as a digg. but to be blunt if i remember correctly last years membership/dyno day was $35 for three runs. I will not go much except ppl can search to see the price from last year.:D :D

i dont care what price you have, $40 is not much at all and i am thinking event at this price either Ray is charging less as a special discount to SAU or SAU is subsidising the price as most dynos are about 100-150 per hour.

my membership is not up for renewal till later on the year so i suppose i dont really have to come to this thing anyway.

Guys besides this being a Renewal Day it is also a Social event to come down have a snag a chat and throw the car on the Dyno...

Will be a tops day with any luck its not raining :D But on the good side the Dyno is inside :D

ill be there id like to meet all you guys, i dont think ill have a dyno run though my car is N/A so the result wont be very impressive. hopefully ill have that big dent on my bonnet fixed by then as well.

Would be ace to see you there mate...

And remember the results are not important :D If my car for some stupid reason doesn't work I'll throw my wagon up on the dyno... It will struggle to make 50kw trust me :D

All about having some fun mate..

i think i might chuck my car on the dyno i wouldnt mind knowing what it makes. i should be easy to spot just look for someone that looks too young to be driving and that will be me lol. seriously some people think im still a teenager but im turning 21 in may. ill see ya all there. :D

my R32 GTS made 91rwkw on an SAU dyno day many years ago... only to be outdone by Jamezilla's Lada for lowest reading of the day (I'm sure he's still got the trophy he got for it too). So there's no shame in giving the N/A a run. It'll be fun.

Yeah we will see if we can do a lowest power winnar, amungst some other fun things and organise some little prizes for the winners (or loosers)

Again it's all meant to be just for fun.

$40 for 3 runs? sounds like a good deal to me :D Where the IngntionDVD night was $35 for run i believe...

out of interest... how much would it be normal if joe public walked off the street and asked for 1 dyno run at RE Customs on just a normal weekday?

i think it was $50 from memory for normal joe bloggs

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • 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)
