So I take it that this is no longer really a Skyline Vs Supra thing? I'm just wondering if Skylines and Supras will be out numbered by other kinds of cars? Perhaps we should change the offical name of the event to something a little more fitting? I'm just thinking about the magazine writer/photographer. It wouild be a bit strange to have the title "Skyline vs Supra Dyno Day ACT" (or similar) only to have the article read that there were only 6 Skylines and 2 Supras in a field of 30 cars! I think it would just say to all the readers that there is no import/jap scene in Canberra or that the 2 respective groups are lazy and aren't interested in club events.

Thoughts? Am I thinking about this too much?

Maybe something like "Nissan vs Toyota" or "ACT Import Dyno Day" or "Canberra JDM Dyno Shootout"? I dunno. I just don't want it to reflect poorly on either the 2 main car clubs involved or the organisers.

Anyway, can't wait for Sunday!

Sorry, I didn't realise it wasn't changed on here, but yes, it is more of a Toyota v Nissan type deal now due to the lack of numbers.

Categories for prizes are the same as last year but this time participants will vote for the car for that prize and you cannot vote for the same car twice. This way everyone has a shot of winning something.

Bring a chair as we don't have access to chairs like last year.

I'm not too fussed as to how/what this event reflects on me as this is the last time I'm organising something like this. If you don't enjoy yourself then feel free to blame it on me...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
