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.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
