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.

    • 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
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
