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)

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
