So you are entering in the dyno comp then paul..... Hmmm maybe i might have to enter ole Sly then aswell ...well if you guys are rockin up to move your cars past all the other bloody show cars AND THEN onto the dyno pack dyno i will prob see you on the dyno hmmmm say about 2pm, mine will prob be on there then at 4. That dyno is really accurate and all but honestly why would it be allowed in show use with 40 cars in line, to swap a s15 silvia to a 180 sx today timed a bit more than 25 mins, dunno whether or not they where takin it easy but the crowd didn't like it and half went away. I have no doubt these dyno packs are awesome for reading but as i have now seen are quite time consuming, plus possibilities of wheels getting damaged and not too mentioned not being put on tight enough.... if you had changed 200 or so wheels in one day i know i couldn't be stuffed tightening them all up properly *mental note to you all, never let me tighten your wheels*:( :bahaha:

Good showing everybody.

Was nice to put a few more faces to names (or nicknames). Congrats Paul on not blowing up your engine and bettering your dyno with a 431HP. Sensational. Shirts are good too. Quite a few Skylines which is great, couple of lovely GTRs....mmm...

For starters we use torque wrenches on all wheel nuts, every single nut across the 34 cars we dyno'ed over 2 days have their nuts done up to the same safe level. We are extremely mindful of such concerns about wheel damage etc.. Why do you think we dont use rattle guns? We've got em, dont use em on street cars.

Secondly your time concerns, yes there were a few cars that took longer than others, the 4wds obviously. As far as whether the crowd liked it or not, we didnt give a shit. We were doing our job as quickly and reliably as possible, or do you want us to drop wheels on their face on bitumen? A GTR today had to be taken off the dyno after being completely bolted up due to its body kit being too wide and the risk of damage to the car was considered too high.

But i guess you think we should have run it anyway, cracked the sideskirt off, just to please the crowd, so we didnt waste any of their precious minutes.

Points taken red 17, in no way did i say that you guys did a bad job at all, in my post i also said the dyno has been praised as being quite an accurate dyno, however we must keep in mind that th show wouldn't be the show without the crowd. you guys did do a fantastic job and i have no doubt that you guys have excelled more than what most people have done or what i could do, changing those wheels would be annoying and for you guys to stick with it all day was well done.

My point however is that although the dyno is accurate the problems with it is time consumption and now as shown the problem with putting cars on with wider body kits, of course i would rather the GTR not go on there but this is an advantage that a normal dyno would have had. It's unfortunate that we can't say stuff the crowd as half of the SAU guys on here are "the crowd" we have to give a shit about them as they are the ones that have paid $15 entry to look at cars and without the crowd the show is not a show.

Anyways - you did a good job dude and now that you mention it I am bloody glad no rattle guns were used especially with what happened to one of my old mags a few years back!

I think Ivan and the APA guys did a great job, yes it does take a long time, but they worked there asses off, and if people weren't so precious about having the cars shown on Sunday arvo then they would have done even more cars.

Even the DD dyno's won't necessarily be able to handle really slammed cars:(

BTW, special thanks to Ivan for not blowing up my car:D

Thanks for the praise fellaz, i should apologise for my tone in my original post. Id just gotten in from PAS and the APA team had been severely chastised by a certain person on a certain trade stand for quote "running a dyno comp nobody ****ing wants".

So suffice to say I was not in a good mood.

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
