I'm keen as mustard form this.

I've just spent the last 2 days polishing and detailing my car, and she looks better than she ever has before.

:(

Wow... ...Shiny...

I always have people tell me how clean my car looks... ...but at the moment she's a dirty as a hooker on a monday morning...

I was hoping I would get my car back today for the dyno day, but looks like the workshop is screwing me around..

I got told that I'd get a call but no go! Went in and the guy wasn't there.

Hopefully there is one on again soon.. Was hoping to meet some people from SAU! -_-"

nah another blue s13 rocked up right after you left... i forgot what it made... but ya it was 1kw more than yours

sorry :)

hahaha :P so what did your car make then? ;)

what was the most powerful rb20?

202kw's for me. Not bad but there are plenty of guys making more than that.

Thanks to the organisers. I had fun except the defect on the way down there.

Who won the 'guess the kw' comp?

what was the most powerful rb20?
the r31 got 233 rwkw's

Yup, the oldest skyline at the day held its own against its larger capacity brothers and all with a stock turbo. :down:

Another RB20 came very close that had a 2535, nice curve as well.

Then there was a white 32 with an RB20.......that began its ramp up with af/r's starting at 17:1 and dissapearing off the top of the chart. Operator backed right off and I assume he thought something was amiss as they redid the sniffer and started again to get the same result.

Engine was obviously a time bomb but owner is lucky he spent the couple dollars to put it on as it has saved him an engine.....if its not already too late.

That was my R32 with the 2535...made 223.4rwkw...turns out my boost gauge was inaccurate and it was only running 17psi...should have been 19-20psi...but i'm happy with the result regardless...in the end...it was a great day...cheers all...

Oh...and go the rb20!! :)

What a great turn out!

Some spectacular cars out there today! Good to meet some of the memebers on here in person. Would have like to see the Millenium Jade coloured R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur run a dyno.

Did Snowman run? If so what was his power output?

The Blk R34 GTT with the GTR kit and blk wheels was sick! I followed you for abit down Springvale Rd.

So many cars too may to mention. GREAT DAY!

PS took afew pics.

    • 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)
