At this stage it's a yes from me.

But if anything changes i will let you know.

I have had my car dynoed in two wheel drive before and i was told that a coke bottle

(600ml i think) will fit in the front of the transfer case if i wanted to run it any distance with the front shaft off this would prevent any dirt and rubbish getting in.

I havent as yet checked this out though.

Does it have to be Nissan, can I bring my wifes beetle in that case?

You serious dude?

Looks like interest in this meet is slow, not sure if people are not interested in the dyno or the meet?

If the dyno goes ahead looks like we will have to open it up to other model cars if not enough stagea's :down:

I'll try and be there Darin. Not sure if I'll be dynoing though.

What garage are you organising for the dyno run?

If u open it up to other cars my mate will probs bring his VL. Will put us all to shame. Lol

I think having to remove the front drive shaft might be putting some people off Darrin.

True. I might end up canning the dyno I think.

I have texted Micah and Myles they are keen

The shop is EFI. Good guys. That is where mine got tuned.

About to go back in for another new clutch, slipping bad when comes on boost, gearbox overhaul and new tune (more boost) :whistling:

The EFI guys like VL's. Rick's is pretty serious and Shuan's (tuner) R32 GTR is as well.

Darrin is your car one of the 150 doing the piston vs rotary challenge? A guy At work with an rx7 is in it and I want some one to make him cry, he used to sit beside me in races then because he had an extend port with a t04 and couldnt beat me so he went and got a bigger port job and turbo. He keeps bragging and its giving me the shits cause I can't find a cheap neo turbo to get highflowed so I can just do a one day swap then get nistuned. Then flog him. sorry for the off topic

Hi Darren,

I'm pretty sure I'll be coming to this. How much power are you making?

My car is in the shop now, getting a forged motor built and a new 1000HP rated clutch fitted. The clutch I have is under 5000km old, is a custom single plate rated to 450HP. Feels like OEM, just not strong enough for the mods I'm getting. Will have the clutch out next week if you're interested. I think it cost me $1400. I would take $900 if you're interested pm me and I'll give you my number. Clutch is in Brisbane and would be available for pickup at Mercury Motorsport early next week.

Ahhh well if its the EFI ill be more than happy to dyno :)

Know Whitey n Sean pretty well. Great upfront guys. See how it pans out.

Ps. Whiteys VL is a FN weapon. Those who don't know. LS1 with a GT4202r = over 600hp. Its also for sale for those who r interested

Guys I am about to cancel the DYNO part of the this meet (and free FMIC offer) if we do not get some solid numbers on the dyno to make it worth everyones time.

Edited by darrinspencer

Guessing by qld u guys mean Brisbane area, im in qld but way up north so would have 2 do some serious saving to make it to this meet haha so i doubt thats gonna happen, especially since the gf has started hinting that she doesn't have a ring to fit this finger (pretty sure u can all figure out which one she's pointing to lol) and need a new clutch as mine is slipping really bad. off topic whats a good one to get and how much am i looking at?? reputable workshop up here in townsville has said NPC?? anybody got anything to say bout these?? good or bad?? mayb lots of notice for next qld cruise so us not in SE corner can organise a weekend away.

Darrin, how many people do you have confirmed as of now? (Counting me as being IN of course :happy: )

My clutch is stuffed as well. No boost in 4th or 5th otherwise it slips

NPC do a good job, have used them before

I currently have a 300rwkw rated 3000lb isngle in there now which I had built by Race clutch - Jim Berry

If you have a look in the trnsmission section there is a sticky on Jim's clutches plenty feedback

In saying that, mine has died (due to miss use) It will be coming out soon and being rebuilt to approx 4200lb and good for 400awkw with a sprung carbonic clutch plate. Plenty GTR guys running them with 400awkw and totally street drivable

Stagea are heavy and hard to launch without frying the clutch, so pick something on the higher side.

If keeping your car stock and driven normally, a off the shelf exceedy will do.

Note stagea's use a pull type same as R33 gtr and R34 GTT

yeah as i said mine is really bad basically no boost any gear otherwise it slips :( i believe the one the guy here recommended was the NPC heavy duty organic, not sure on exact specs but this is from the NPC website about it 'NPC starts off with a standard premium quality clutch plate and pressure plate and increases the clamp pressure between 20 to 45% above standard specifications. Combine this increase in clamp pressure with a full faced premium quality disc and smooth engagement is achieved and in most cases without extra pedal effort. This style of clutch is ideal for 4 x 4 enthusiasts, tow vehicles, commercial vehicles and modified road cars used everyday with occasional strip use'

ATM i have FMIC, exhaust (looks to be cat and back) and obviously manual (but it's conversion done by someone else), and a pod filter of some dome shape that I've never seen before. Will that clutch be ok? or do i need heavier? id like to do more to it but as i said funds for upgrading the stag will be limited for quite a while

That sucks. I was looking forward to seeing my stagea on the rollers as well as everyone else's. We've got a good range of modded stageas in qld now, would have been interesting to see all the results.

For anyone sitting on the fence, post up some feed back as to why your not that interested eg, have to remove front driveshaft, can't afford it, my stagea is stock so why dyno it....etc I would have thought there would of been more interest than 6-8 people.

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
