Hi Guys

I am also a member of the Nissan Sports Car Club and i have managed to get us all an invite to their Dyno Day on Saturday 4th July

Where: Autotech 18-20 George Street, Granville NSW 2142 Australia

Schedual for the Day:

We will be starting at 8am, it will be $55 for the day per car. That will involve 2 power runs maybe 3, coffee tea and biscuits. A BBQ lunch and soft drinks will also be provided by Spiro and his Team and everyone will receive their Dyno sheet laminated.

As in the past it is a very well run day and for $55 is good value with lunch provided.

The Running order is first in best dressed and so on.

This invite is open to ALL V35'ers (Coupe and Sedan).

It has been a while we have all been discussing power output of our V's, so its time to get our there and see some REAL numbers.

Autotech is also the official installer for APS so maybe we can talk about getting these kits into our cars for some of the members who may be interested.

Spiro is very knowledgeable with the VQ series engines having worked on many customers 350Z.

Also, the Nissan Sports Car Club is an excellent CAMS AFFILIATED club so those of you who are looking for a great atmosphere in a club, which partakes in events such as supersprints, hill climbs, track days and weekly coffee meets, you are able to find out more about the club and join as well. :)

Check out the website : http://www.nissansportscarclub.org

Any info please PM me.

Cheers,

-Mark

hey guys

the dyno is a 4wd dyno. shouldnt matter though all our cars are RWD unless someone has done some freekish DIY modifications :)

the time determined of how long you get your run all depends on who gets there first.

you may arrive at 8am and there allready be a few people there. so you may have to wait 1 hr or 2.

i will arrive around 10-11am and just see whos there, and book my place in. i dont mind waiting for my turn as usually good company and some bbq food makes up for the wait :)

  • 4 weeks later...

There were no V35's at the Dyno day. Jetwreck and I popped by in the afternoon to see what the place was like and it looked like a good workshop and facilities.

Apparently about 33 cars went through on the day, S15's and Fords and Holdens.

Saving the M35 for the next one.

i didnt make it down as i got rostered on to work.

was a good turnout though, spoke to some of the guys on nissansilvia was a great day.

i got next weekend off so i might go to the IS motor racing dyno day i think its on the sunday, 11th

i just installed all my mods now, z tube, i did the grounding kit today and also the plenum spacer last week.

:P

:)

yeh was 178kw @ the wheels

since then like i said it got the plenum spacer, and intake and grounding kit. thats all that should effect power. also i got wider rear wheels, dont know how that will effect the dyno. the car definately feels faster since the new mods put it, i can attest to that.

the dyno day is @ IS motor racing on Saturday 11th July (this sat) so yeh come down if you guys are free.

BLISTC,

Will be *very* curious to see your results!

I think ISMR's dyno tends to be on the lowish side when reading power but that's the dyno i go by as my last 3 cars have only gone to ISMR.

The wider rear wheels will decrease your power reading slightly as they should be a bit heavier hence sapping more power in the drivetrain loss.. but not by much unless it's massive weight difference.

Curious to see results now :)

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
