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 .

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
