T'was a good day, and SAU was represented well. At least I thought so. Some selfish douchebag took out the People's Choice Award, and it was of no suprise to anyone that a Supra won the dyno comp, although props to R34power's mate for doing so.

There was a lot of JDM goodness on display, as those that were there will attest to. I enjoyed it. How about everyone else?

yeah he was shocked there was suppose to be a wide body r32 blue that would have beaten him.

I thought that blue Supra might have taken the people's choice.

Bad timing for me. My car is currently not behaving itself and has a few issues that we weren't able to iron out before the day.

Would still like to have gone but our house settlement went through yesterday and unfortunately I had a busy day with that.

i thought you guys failed in your turn out compared to most other days. that said i only got their at 2 (Due to work). was hoping to see alot more skylines out. have a good one guys, stu

I reckon we went OK. For those that showed up at 8.30am, it's an ask to do a full day, yeah? By 1pm, it was starting to wind down, so I'd say you missed the best five hours when you were at work

Hi all

Great to see plenty of nice JDM cars on Saturday. Sorry I didn't put my car on, but I've pretty much made a decision that I won't be dynoing my car on any other dyno without one of the ESP boys to oversee the operators. I just don't want to risk any damage to my engine. Plus I don't think I would have beaten the 398 that Nathan put down in his Supra as I think my valve stem seals are on their way out.

I did mention to the guy that was looking after the shownshine that if they run this event again next year that they might consider doing it either 3 weeks before or after this particular date as a lot of owners could be in the middle of playing footy finals and they should also consider having it run on a Sunday as well.

I was a little disappointed with the FD turnout though, maybe they were all changing rotor seals that weekend.... :woot:

Anyways, good to see some nice Skylines there, fingers crossed this event gets bigger and better for us JDM owners.

Cheers

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      I'm confirming the "2 way" Nismos can be converted to 1.5's very easily as you already described. It's well detailed in the manual. I can scan mine if you need, I think I still have it laying around somewhere.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Well, its worth noting that 450+ is probably enough to get you to church on time each Sunday already..... You mentioned cams, did you upgrade the valve springs as well? Factory ones will be well past their use case by now. And yes, the hydraulic lifters are likely to limit your usable rpms and AFAIK you need a (now rare and expensive) head swap to rb26 or even better rb25neo for that (to retain VCT) I don't think 4"/3.5" should be a restriction. What about the intake, do you have an upsized intercooler and what is the throttle body?

      Something like this -  You can buy the arms in different lengths too. The suction cup goes to the windscreen.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I do have an adjustable exhaust cam gear but I always presumed these only lead to minor changes. I'll play around with it next week and report back. Also wouldn't advancing, not retarding shift that power down lower?  We played around with VCT last year and it made more power with it on until redline. I had read somewhere that this is often the case with short runner intakes like I'm running but I'll revisit this after adjusting my exhaust cam.  I have a 4" downpipe and 3.5" line with two open dumps. I'm thinking back pressure would only start to be an issue at 35+ psi. I often hear people state things like "oh my turbo really only wakes up past 30psi" which goes against everything I know about centrifugal compressors. Is there any actual logic to this?  Thanks for the help dose.
