My spies tell me they saw snowman today and he got 240@all 4 on Sti Dyno...

PS: My spy "mate" got 210 in his Black Sti 03, with the stock wing. But be careful coz in two weeks time this thing will be pushin around 250@all 4...

Spewing I didn't come down, would have helped if I knew about it :) I jeard a Monaro got the highest with 250kw??

i dunno, i think he just went their to say hi etc, why would he bother putting his car on the dyno when he knows the reading unless people asked him to pop it on for free the he probably would of...meh

The rumours are false!

I went down to say Hi to Brandon (beefy) and Cazz and a few others but didnt run my car on the dyno.

There were a number of great cars down there - some very impressive STI's, the Oz delivered yellow Nismo S15, a JDM interga, and a whole lot more inlcuding some skylines. It was my first visit to the facilities at STI docklands and I must say its a very impressive set-up.

Meshy - the event was posted in the events section. Maybe you should look in there one day! :)

You should have stuck it on Andrew. Did the monaro really get 250atw then? I'll have to keep my eyes open for the next one... should be fun, by then I predict a blue R34 with Nismo LMGT4 clocking around 450kw at all fours :( that'll stick it up the WRX hoons :D

Dont recall seeing a monaro - but a Falcon GT got 240 I think. I wasnt there for long to be honest which is why I didnt run. Had other things on that day.

There were 2 new black STI's - both were awesome.

And stop exagerating what Im doing to my car! Your going to dissapoint a whole lot of people at this rate! lol

highest reading i saw a rex produce on the day was 196rwkw and that was after cranking in an unsafe amount of timing.

You sure there wasn't a Black Sti 03 with a stock WRX boot wing on the dyno that made 209kw?? For some reason it doesn't suprise me my mate is full of sh!t. Always bragging how him and his mates beat GTR's... but they could'nt come close to me when I had 270at the rears.

I'm not totally sure as i wasn't there all day, if snowman's had a very short haircut then i was there for about an hour after he left. Speaking to people that had been their since the early morn no rex's did over 200. It was Vinny's personal car (black sti) that i saw run 196 after he had the luxury of playing with the timing - then reset it to a safe level b4 leaving the dyno. Vinny told me there was a tough GT (XW or XY) that ran 225 odd in the morn.

    • I don't know if this is accurate. The EPC places the EPS control unit somewhere in the engine bay or somewhere in the interior near the firewall, presumably because the things it's controlling mostly live up in the front of the car unlike HICAS which has a whole steering rack on the rear axle to handle. @D.phantom The R32 GTR manual actually has more than I give credit for talking about the non-HICAS cars: You can probe the pins on the diagnostic connector directly to read the EPS solenoid voltage as far as I can tell following the flow chart.
    • Hi all, so I bought a very low kms 2019 Q60s in Nov 2022 and have been driving it stock for 17 months. The power from the VR30DETT has been a little scary as these cars did not come with a LSD. Although the ECU does well with compensating the lack of LSD by using automatic braking on different wheels when there is lost of traction etc, it does not really give me much confidence to push the car harder. Further to that, the car feels quite boaty especially around sharper corners or roundabouts - it would seem like the wheels are lifting on one side. These engines are also very prone to heat soak as the heat exchanger is tiny. I felt this during the heat wave in WA over summer even in normal driving. Gear shifting in the Q60 is also something that I hated - it's quite harsh at low speeds especially in traffic.  I recently purchased a set of f&r sway bars, rear diff brace and a heat exchanger from Z1 in US. Here are my thoughts 1) Rear diff brace - no more wheel hop when accelerating quickly. wheel spin still present but manageable comparing to before. Gear shifts are now smoother, you can still tell its shifting etc but you dont feel the harshness. I would highly recommend this mod, and it should still be on sale at Z1 at the moment. 2) Sway bar - there are 2 settings for this F - 114%/165% increase in stiffness over stock and R - 138%/214% increase in stiffness over stock. Currently I am on the stiffer settings. The car feels very planted. Due to the weather over here I have not been able to test if i need to reduce the stiffness. So far it's much more comfortable to drive over stock as you dont feel like your car is lifting up and in fast turns you can control the car a lot better while turning left and right in quick succession.  3) HX - the Z1 HX has a much higher capacity and surface area (up to 200% or something). Again with the cooler weather it's a little hard to tell. I went with the Z1 HX due to the price, size and colour (black). You can't see the HX through the front bumper. There is a cheaper brand but it was smaller and the rest were more expensive which i didnt think was worth the extra since I won't track this car much at all. All 3 mods were easy to install, all plug and play. Note of caution, the front bar needed to come off for the HX to be installed.  
    • A is the HICAS CU.  As far as I know, there are no other modules located at A in a car with HICAS, so it is fair to presume that F is the variable power steer module for non-HICAS cars. Same location, give or take. Makes sense - the wiring loom for the HICAS cars has the speed signal, power, solenoid drive, etc wires all present there - so why move the module and have to upend the wiring loom?   Having said the above though, it may be the case that F is further down in the rear guard - it's hard to tell. In which case it may be something else. Yes, it is the multi-pin plug next to the under dash fuse box. Top left corner. Can't miss it. Be very careful though - use insulated probes to poke around in there so  you don't accidentally short 12v to ground or an ECU input etc etc.
    • They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.
