Hey people,

Just a quick report on the Dyno day at TM Autosports tuggerah today.

Apporx 45 cars were dynoed, I thought i did well to get 159rwkw out of my almost bog stock RB25DET, that is until the Autostyle cars pulled up...

The most interesting being the R32 GTR, which made over 400kw at all 4 paws!

I was amazed that such a powerful (street driven) car could look so clean.

TM Autosports also dif a great job of organising and making the day an enjoyable one for all the participants.

nmcmahon83: even though that 308 didn't make much power I thought it rocked. If I ever had to get rid of my 33 I would consider getting one of the...

It was a good day in general.... I thought TM did a really good job at organising considering it is the first one they have ever held... and the fact that the cars were on and off fairly quickly was good too as they haven't had their dyno that long.

and andrew, they arent all like that !!! :)

I know... But their participation at Drag Combat was quite lame... 6 GTRs all displaying around 400kw @ wheel dyno sheets in their windscreens, and none of them ran :nowigetit

Dyno queens :)

Thanks for the compliments on the car Talej, sure it's old and stuff, but it was a nice change for the day if you ask me :) something different.

The dyno brake wasn't working properly as I understand, so they had a bit of trouble getting the high powered cars off it after their runs. All in all it was a pretty cool day.

By the way it was FLYBYE the R32 GTR... looked pretty nice too.

Franks the only thing autostyle about the black car is the sticker on the windscreen, that was one week after I had traded it in and nothing had been done to it

I agree with Merli this time it makes me sick to see all those so called dyno monsters at Dragcombat just sitting doing nothing damn waste if you ask me

I'm not really dissing Autostyle... They have some beauuuuuuuuuutiful cars... I just think it's a shame to be making so much power and not using the cars to their potential, and instead just cruising around the city and going to street races sad2.gif

hahaha nah Franky the car came with the badge, I had planned on getting a respray and having it removed, but ended up selling it before I had a chance to, I can't blame the Autostyle cars not racing at every meet but it would be nice to see them having a go at big events sometimes

yeah great day.

Big respect to Ivan in the GTiR, 271kw atw. go the ol sr20.

Evo 3 / or gsr? behind that with 234 odd atw

Old 80s style 300zx in Orange form Autostyle made 440kw rwd with a

rebuilt rb26 6 speed dog box.

Autostlye flybye r32 gtr with stock gearbox and diffs and a 2.7 rb26 made 401kw

a 4 wheels on 1.5 bar. with a TRUST T88-34D thats barely even going!

lol.

got lag.

Soarer (ex-therapy) with T78 made a 'disspointing' 273kw atw (on his 4th run just

piping Ivan for 3rd overall) mind you - at the rears only.

great day.

I was satisfied with 171kwatw with my evo...

Car still very very rich - losing alot of power. 9:1 a/f

Man that old 300z flying donwn the street on its 9500rpm limiter sideways was awesome...

michael

Hey Brett, nah i just got mine started after installing the microtech the night befoure, and yes still has too be tuned in, but will be down the coast for a cruze with yahs very soon !...

yes i would have too say it was a very satisfying day all the cars(42) were on and off in modist haste thanks too me and Wayne THE STRAP DOWN GUYS... hehe

i was impressed too see the a GTIR crew turn up and a few others ...

the owners of TM were happy that everyone was happy with there performance and will be having runs more often in the future ....

thanking also Dom n Tim for bringing there Killawatt kings up it realy livened the day up ... even a few burnouts down the end of the coldersack was all good too .....

440 was the biggest reading of the day at the rear from Doms 2.6DET 204R powered old school Z

Tims was the biggest all four with the R32 poppping out just over 400KW and only the lowest setting too add .....

anyway it was a great day and many more too come in the future ...

(ohh just too add about the autostyle "dyno queens" if you had a car worth over 100k would you thrash the guts out of it just for the sake of it ? i shure wouldnt .....they are more into the drift days anyway .... )

Yep Dan I agree thats why I don't blame them for not racing at every meet, just be nice to see the big GTR's racing at bigger meets like Drag combat instead of sitting pretty in the carpark, but if drift is there thing I guess thats fair enough

Sounds like a geat day was had by all, good luck with the final stages of your car mate you must be getting excited now

well yes i do agree with you there it would be nice too see them burn down the strip .....but hey its there call ......

yeh i hope all goes well with my car as i know what i have in it now ...hehe ....

hows your car going whats with the buster mobile you fixed all the hick ups .you didnt seem too impressed at drag combat .

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
