Herman at Envy imports has just bought a new AWD Dyno Dynamics dyno. big investment for them, and it's great for us as so many of our cars are AWD (all the GTS4s, stageas, GTRs). Anyway, he wants to kick it off with a dyno day and asked if we'd be interested in having one with SAU. He will give us a special SAU financial member price for the day. Basically the outline is this:

Dyno Day, Satuday 16th of August, held at the Envy Imports dyno room, rear of 3 Powells Rd Brookvale (northern beaches, near manly). Everyone is welcome, any kind of car.

Entry costs $50 and SAU NSW club members pay only $40 (if you sign up as a SAU NSW Club member on the day you pay the discounted price also)

There will be a sausage sizzle and drinks etc available.

You get 3 runs. 1 warm up and check that everything is ok, then 2 power runs.

You get a printout with your power and AFR on it.

They will also give a free analysis of the graph (too lean? too rich? poor boost control? detonation? etc, great for people who have not really read a dyno graph before).

And, if you book your car in on the day for further tuning work or whatever Herman will give some kind of discount.

Also, an R35 GTR will be there.

The day kicks off at 9am with the first cars on the dyno around 9:30. You will need to turn up, pay and register then you will be called in the order you arrived.

Please note this one important detail. When attending these types of events you are representing our club, and car enthusiasts in general. There is no need to chuck a skid, or accelerate as hard as you can to prove how awesome you are. We already know you're awesome. I mean you don't see michael schumacher after a Grand Prix go into the car park, hop in his ferarri and chuck a massive burnout now do you? Only wankers with something to prove engage in this kind of behaviour at these events, don't put yourself in that category. Should you feel the need to act like a dick you will be laughed out of the forum, banned from the club and most likely reported to the police.

There will be trophies awarded for highest outright power, top under 2L, top under 2.6L, top outright, top NA. (might add top 4wd and top Rwd too since it's a 4wd dyno).

I will be there. :blink: going to run my little silvia and see how she goes.

It should be a great day guys, and the R35 is one hell of a car, so if you haven't seen one it's a good chance to get up close with one. :)

This is great. One dyno day on today up at Tuggerah to get an initial figure, then I can put the new turbo, boost controller, intercooler and fuel pump in, and get another go just 4 weeks later! Provided my plans fall into place - I'm there too. :)

haha watch out nick (sorry ian :D )...I am going for highest power volvo. because if the damn thing isn't tuned by then I will just buy a V70

Pffft, you can keep your Volvo award, I'll go for highest power Stagea. :)

If that looks like it will fail, does anyone wanna help me import a crazy mid-60's Volvo Amazon with some over-the-top turbocharged B23 motor? (This is from one of the Getaway in Stockholm DVDs)

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
