Dude,

I love this site. And we keep referring people to the dyno results threads when they ask for "what turbo" etc.

I'm happy to code up a database where people can log their details about their cars properly, and then we can do searches based on what turbo, what power, etc and have rankings etc...

If I was going to do something like this, would you like me to have it hosted on SAU, or do my own thing on a seperate server that you can then link to, or what?

If we were going to do this, i'd love to open it up to suggestions from all members, so i can come up with the ultimate plan before we get started, maybe have a list of parts, and you can choose which ones you are using, so people can search for other members with certain mods.

Thoughts?

That wouldn't be a major issue to setup.

However what will be - is stopping the ridiculous results and so on getting in there.

Nothing to stop someone creating some bogus claim and entering it in which would throw the results off and so on.

It would also need to convert km/h to RPM based on standard gearing (32-33, & 34) as many people only have km/h

Yea, we'd definitely need some moderators or something.

I figure we could have comments on each result, so people could ask questions / make accusations etc :P

I think the gearing thing would be very, very easy, i'd just need to find out what figure i need to mutilpy/divide by to get RPM.

Have you guys thought of doing this before?

Its a really good idea.

possibly have someone screen results before they are approved such as they have in the buildups and projects section.

IE

No dyno sheet and no information = f**k off.

Could work easy.

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
