Hey guys,

we are hosting another dyno day, this time with a twist;

This is a Domestic vs. Import dyno competition.

We have limited entries to 40; 20 Domestic and 20 Imports.

Big V8 Holdens, XR6 Turbo Fords vs. the masters of boost; Toyota Supras, Nissan Skylines and Mazda’s best rotaries.

We will be only accepting the top 20 entries from each side and I'm sure it'll be worth watching as some of the highest powered cars from both sides compete for overall honors as they all try to prove the age old question; who is king?

The cost of the event is $30, this is to cover the dyno; the event is not for profit. (We are hosting it because it'll be cool, no other reason)

Please apply at; (even if you *think* you dont make enough power, we will let you know if do; no cost until accepted)

Still looking for more Skylines, event is not at full capacity yet. (with some 3 months to go... lol)

Fill up the spots then we can list the mininum kw required :P

(Besides, $30 is the cheapest dyno you'll get...)

Imports are now full. You'll need 200+rwkw to make the import side.

Domestics need a few cars still. (5 I think it was). There are some big number domestics in there too, it's very even atm, just need to fill the last spots.

Thanks for the support guys, you've been awesome.

Hey guys

Just an update to say the dyno is full, both imports and domestics.

We are expecting the imports to make between 5150 and 6050 kw total, while the domestics are expecting somewhere between 5200 and 6100 rwkw total.

If you know any high powered cars (200rwkw or over) then please still get them to apply.

Entrants: We will be sending out confirmation emails approx 2 weeks before the event to confirm that you can still make the day.

Thanks to everyone for the support and look forward to seeing everyone along with the 40 odd dyno entrants.

We've had a couple cars pull out due to engine trouble, not ready or being upgraded on the day of the dyno.

If your interested in running on the dyno we need you!

Domestics are only 2 cars short, however we are still accepting entries from higher power cars also.

Entries officially close on the 14th on November.

Cost is $30.

Date: 22nd November.

Time: 10AM till 5PM.

Apply here:

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
