WOW! what a fun filled day!! It was good to meet some people and put faces to their names!

I was the owner of the sky80 and when I rocked up I had no idea I would be rolling on the dyno... other wise I would have cleaned the thing! Tree Sap adds -10rwkwz!

I ended up only running ~10psi.. but stupid me thinking 0.7bar was 13psi (which it can run) and made 142.7!

Too bad there wasn't a trophy for best 4 cylinders Or WORST offset! I wanted to win :(

But thanks to the SAU team for hosting such a good day!

as me and dion discussed black smoke = potential power :P

What a fantastic day today - a credit to the entire SAU SA team that pulled together to make this happen. In my opinion, this was one of the best ran dyno days I have been involved in, and I've been doing them for 10 years!

I agree with Pete, the trophies are awesome - I am very impressed.

A big thanks to John and the crew from Southern Hitech Dyno - they were professional and efficient in keeping the day rolling on with a couple of well earned breaks to clear the lungs of carbon monoxide.....

A big thanks to all involved in organising the event!

Vu - loving the flame action :(

Andrew (Blue32) can you please post up your dyno sheet? I forgot to ask to see it today and would like to see the boost & power curves. Also what GReddy twins are you running?

seemed like a great day for the whole 30min i was able to attend :) stupid work, lucky i was able to squeeze my car in during the lunch break ahaha.

Now all i need is a tune to get rid of the nasty flat spot mid way haha.

great event, nice to see a big turnout of new faces,, and to catch up

I have about 200 photos of the day, and about 95% of the cars put on the dyno have photos so watch this space later today for photos. Hi res will be sent to Nene to put on DVD. or you can PM me for a copy

big thanks to the dyno crew. they really put the cars thru in a timely manner

and the other sponsors and the give aways helped make it feel like a truely professional event!!!!

nice work to all

What a day even though i rocked up late. Very good turn out.

Wish i still put my car on the rollers always next time. But hey i9m glad i gave my spot up to the dyno king. Was a shame i couldnt see that beast on the rollers though.

Looking foward to the next event.

Was also good to see so many new members joining on the day.

Well done to all involved in putting together a very well put on event.

I've wasted about 2 hours of my life on it...

Does anyone know how to convert Newtons to Newton-meter?

my car made 5800 newtons, and i think i've worked that out to 397Nm

Edited by Silhouette31
didnt think there was a difference but here is a handy website

http://www.convertworld.com/en/torque/

Newtons = Force

Newtons * meters = Force * distance = Work = Power

not quite sure how u'd work out the distance the car "traveled" on the dyno =\ im sure there is a way, i just can't be bothered working it out atm =D

The dyno measures tractive effort, so that is 5800N of tractive effort.

You can set up the dyno to show actual engine torque but you ahve to enter all the details like tyre diameter as well as the diff ratio, on a dyno day that isn't going to happen due to time restraints. If you want torque when you car is on the dyno just give the operator the details and ask them to enter them.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
