I reckon I got the lowest reading of the day! 106rwkw! I was pretty embarrassed. Apparently I'm running really, really rich and losing power because of it.

Edit: Having said that it was a pretty cool day. Thanks to all the organisers!<

yeah, sam's dyno reads a little lower than a dyno dramitics... but meh... was an AWESOME day!

anyone else stick it out till the end?

nope. booted after those big f**k off trucks rolled up.

post results plz el Presidente :)

Awesome day, I had a blast. Plenty of area to warm up the cars pre-dyno. As for the low readings, tough call, because I got the same figure at RE Customs last year which other people said was also reading low. But if enough dynos show this same figure, then one could say your tuner's dyno is reading high...it could go either way.

In the end a dyno run is useful only as a comparison to other cars on the day or to see what your curve and AFR's look like. The most valuable thing you can take from it is where your engine or tune needs attention.

Thanks all for making it a great day.

Dyno readings a tad low, did anyone else think that?

226kw but could only manage 217kw even after dr drift (sam) leaned out the mixtures, which i appreciate.

Dyno variance is simple

+/- 15rwkw at any given time between two places.

Splitting hairs over 9kw is silly :)

I've found Sam's results to be basically on par with other places for the most part. There is always going to be some variance.

so the SAU prize winners are:

forced induction - Ric - R33 gtst - 264rwkw

naturally aspirated - Chris - M3 - 168rwkw

prizes can be collected from the next general meeting guys. CONGRATS!

the overall winner was hotly contested with a 378.9rwkw and 379rwkw by a 2jz supra and a blown VE GTS respectively.

other highlights were 299rwkw from the blown monaro, 148rwkw from james's mad max replica and everyone jumping back about a metre when the bee*R limiter was hit on John's R32 GTR

all in all a brilliant day

thanyou to all that attended

Why does this go on after every Dyno Day???...

Just wanted to compare thats all. And make sure my car is not going "backwards" powerwise. hehe

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
