Congrats to Ant and SST, the trevs must be getting pissed... thats twice in 3 years a Jap cars won the dyno comp :D

And top work to Daze (XRW) for his burnout effort... short as it was...

Ant's R32 GTR made 616rwhp, and took out the 4WD 6cyl blown, and I think outright class. Nathan Webbs R33 GTR made 475rwhp. I think Lee from SilviaWA got 400+ from his car too.

All-in-all a decent result considering the number of Trevs there:D

You mean "Lee from AFARCC got 436 hp" :-)

Eye witnesses said it was pinging it's arse off.... which usually suggests it wasnt tuned for the conditions.... given that it was cooler on the day than I was expecting... thats a surprise...

Anyone remember what it made on the dyno at Sport Compact? I'd expect them to be putting in a fair effort to get it back up to spec by the next Sport Compact....

From what i was told when Mr.X was tuning it (GT51R), he put the old 650hp map in, then when fine tuning it was arking out, and Mr.X goes, plugs are fowled, just change them and u wioll be right, and no furter tuning was done, hence is wasnt running right and not making power.

no need for names here.

i know Mr T hes hawt! ;)

has the engine been on to many dynos?... if it was pinging off its tits... then i wouldnt be able to hear it but i took a video of it doing the dyno and you might be able to hear it....i'll post it later on tonight if i can be phucked getting it off the camera ;)

i didn't hear nathans car pinging its date off, i did hear/see it wheel spin excessivly tho..

the was a fair amount of tyre smoke after the first run..

can anyone, ant hopefully confirm what gear they did the runs in, because his and nathans cars seem to come on very hard and very fast, a lot faster than i expected..

or is it just possible the new formax guy running the dyno, got the ramp rates wrong?..

Yea - I only saw Ant's run but couldn't believe the way it revved. As soon as it was on boost it hit the limiter! But would more load have made for less traction? Seemed with the dude sitting in the boot and the people in the car they still had issues with it..

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
