Wow another big SAU roll up. Not to hot lathugh may be a little wet. As always it willl be an interesting day.

Thanks for having us again John :yucky:

Looking foward to seeing if my car does any better now.. I think she is healthy again.

Now I can go and wash my car tonight so it looks healthy too lol.

this will be a top day. everyone should get out there. cheap way to get your car on a dyno and see how it's going. :banana:

I will try and make it out too. the only question is do I bring the 34 (stock)? the S13 runs about 230odd rwkw on UAS dyno so maybe I should bring that? or I'm kind of curious to see what my FD RX7 is making now that the new pre-stage ported 13B is run in. hmmm tough choice. I'm guessing the stock 34 GTR makes about 190rwkw and the 7 maybe 200rwkw or so.

well if I don't make it out, have a great day without me guys. :D

if you can't decide i'll take the RX7 for you lol, they are a beautiful machine, completely different to the skylines but in its own right they are excellent. A friend of mine is actually looking at a 1991 series 5 turbo on sunday, what should he be looking for?

I'm washing my car anyway because a few days ago while going throgh the m2 tunnel those bloody stupid exhaust fans splatterd oil on my car, couldnt wash it because i was going to work, then i finish work at midnight, wake up for work next morning, finish work midnight again, so gota wash it now....

and if its 20-25degrees tomorrow the temps will be ok for the dyno results, cooler air = denser air, denser air = more air, more air = more power lol

if he's buying an old RX7 my advice would be pay as little as possible and save for a rebuild! mine is a 2001 RZ and even it was due for a new engine after a wee 30,000kms! rotor motors are not built to last. :banana:

can i still come with a broken three gear you only need fourth gear for a dyno run

If we get you rocking up scobles, you have easy takings of the RB30 trophy. Was your run on the Envy dyno with gas? Impressive figure. :banana:

Cyas tomorrow.

im out :) i found the limits of a standard rb30 bottom end engine let go at 592hp not bad for a stock engine time to visit abbcos ha ha or i mite build one for once ;) just think what we can make with a built engine 600hp+

Cyas tomorrow.

nah the run on envys dyno was with no gas just 20 psi should have left it there but where do you stop

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
