Gotta love the ruler flat torque curve once on boost, unlike the mountain peaks ive seen before! Very nice work....

Just wondering, how much did the correction affect the score?

I think everyone with half a brain figures out it's dodgy and just a joke within 10 seconds of seeing the dyno chart :P

It's not meant to be serious, it's all in good fun :D

LOL well the only pics I saw of the chart had a finger in the way!

p.s. WTB: ½-brain

As a rule... as soon as you see Merli post, dont expect it to be anywhere near seriousness

All fun and games.

hehe i was waitin for Merli to get his pantihose in a knot when his 100% error calibration power figure was ousted by a real car :D hehe

and denham, that can't be a new Dyno coz

a) we had our fundraiser dyno day on it about a week beforehand on it

B) it blew fuses 3 times on the weekend due to power surges... (all matlowth's fault :) with his RB30DET sporting T07 or some BFT)

c) when Sam opened her up to check for that stone when Ben put his GTR on, i could clearly see old gears with rust in places and cobwebs like it hadn't been opened for a while

Shan - you have got about 4% of facts right from MAS so far!

It was Emre that killed the dyno with his 2530's set-up. For a while there we thought he was going to be the out-right winner with 340ish awkw's as it didnt look like the dyno was going to run again. (Especially for me who had my car on it for 3 hours straight after and in the end didnt even get to run that day!)

And I was told the other day RH9 was sold and is now a street car.

lol the dyno was killed a few times... does Emre have a burgandy R33 with an RB30DET that looks VERY sleeper like?

argh u tools... i was talkin bout malowth's stint at blowing up the dyno, not Emre... altho all the fangers did a top job of blowing that dyno up :)

It hasn't run with the power it's putting out now, but back when it was making 380-400ish rwkw, it ran a 10.9.

If you look in the HPI top 10 RWD over 2.4l, it's number 1.

Cheers,

matt

Matt its the blue GTST with Street Macines sign wrote all over it with GTR front gaurds and a RB26, I checked it out at our Jamboree damn nice car, running smaller twin Apexi turbos, Nitrous and Mickey Thompson ET street slicks it was running constant 10.9's all weekend

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
