Getting Ready For Dyno This Week.

[lilcrash]

Hey everyone. I've got my dyne tune this week and just wondering what people have used to cover the hole on the gear box when the front shaft is removed. Also what one of the fuses do I pull out? Thanks.

Ps. I couldnt find the answer on google.

It's sealed so there is no need to cover the hole if it will only be out for the dyno

Just pull the front drive shaft out. It's all sealed so will not leak oil. You don't need to pull any fuse out.

I've gotta drive it about 50km with out the shaft, that's why I'm concerned.

I have driven a few hundred km with the front drive shaft out. On the S1 you go to the fusebox in the engine bay and there is a square green fuse for the awd - pull that out - your awd warning light should come on - that's as it should be.

Ok kewl, il have a look when I do the service today, thank you

[lilcrash]

ok something weird is going on here, ive lost half a litre of oil in 5000km , shoul di use a thicker oil?? ive got motul 4100 turbolight 10w40 in there at the moment.

[Jetwreck]

Bloody he'll....should not happen....that is a thick oil IMO and should be fine. Any oil on the rear window of the car???.....if not have a look under the car for leaks.

I'm lucky if I loose 50mls in the VQ in 10000kms....even our race RB,s don't use that much.

P.s came in here to wish you luck on your dyno run.

ive had the car for 100000kms i service the car every 5000kms and every service i measure the oil and i always have lost 500ml every time. I use motul 5w40 but my car does not stop all day so mayby its understandable. My garage floor is pollished concrete so i know there is no leeks.

funny my 78 skyline c210 did the same 500ml every time weird i thought it was a skyline thing

mates c34 just got 230kwatw on e85 and the auto is shitting its self and he fills up every day.

keep us up to date with the resaults i want to get mine done soon.

[lilcrash]

I think it's done it the whole time I've had it . Oh well. I had this fear that the day before the dyno it would blow up or something and sure enough as of yesterday there is a horrible noise, sounds like really bad knock at about 4000 rpm. Another strange thing the hyper gear high pressure actuator holds a steady 14psi well up until the noise starts and I stop accelerating.

[lilcrash]

Ok front drive shaft removal = FAIL

I can't undo the bolts . Looks like I'm paying them to do it.

[kidafa]

Yes they can be a little awkward at times but just stick at them...... ring spanners and a ratchet is your best friend!

[lilcrash]

I'm gonna ask my boss to have a go lol

[lilcrash]

I'm curious why there is imperial sized nuts on a Japanese car. So f**king pissed off right now, I have a rounded nut now because I was using a 12mm spanner. Oh yay $165 for the tuner to remove the drive shaft. Just what I needed

[lilcrash]

Ok car is now at efi performance, there is a car stuck on their hoist so my car is going to erd to get the front shaft removed first.

[lilcrash]

I have to say walking into your garage and not seeing your car is the worst feeling ever.

[Daleo]

Depending on whether you left it there or not.

Tuning today? Hope you have a good result.

[lilcrash]

Yer, I actually forgot i was like WTF then oh yeah it's at yatala. If I can get 250kw il be happy that should be enough towing power.

Probably knocking its head off. 14PSI on a highflow with no tune is a receipe for disaster.

Be interesting to see what it pulls. I use the same tuner. Shaun will leave it nice and rich and safe for daily driving.

I only get 258rwkw on 16psi with a gt3076R .82 IW
