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

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
