It's cool Jack, i know what you are getting at.

My point is, why see a power figure or a boost level and get fixated on it...? Without knowing any of the other variables, figures are just that : figures.

Don't forget, it is a business funded car promoting that business.

summoner,

Good on them all mate, but they are not the only ones that are doing it. There are workshops getting big hp on pump fuel across the country. Are you insinuating that, the Perth boys are a step ahead...? Cause that's the feeling i get from some of the posts, hence the reason i put that remark in ( ) in my previous post.

Emre, yeah I know what you mean, its just a figure at the end of the day!!!! I guess 1/4 mile times speak louder words than dyno figures.....

summoner- I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or not but how is WA ahead of everybody else?? Is there any proof??? And you also say that you can comment from 'experience' and what you have seen.... At the age of 21???

dont most of the guys in wa use dynapac, we see dream figure coming out of the states also.

unless i see it  in the flesh, i take dyno figures witha grain of salt.

The best in the west certainly does not use dynapack and his dyno dynamics dyno is extremely accurate - if anyone can reduce a chart I will attach my latest chart (not the one below)

Jezzzr that you Jeremy with teh daily 33 and w/end 34? :rofl:

As said, the best in WA use DD units which have been accredited by DD themselves. Only speedworks use the Dynapack and 1 other workshop I think. Majority of places are Dyno Dynamics.

I agree with the SOTP dyno, works best since end of day something like dynapack, Dyno Dynamics, Dynojet and all the others are just tuning tools.

Jack,

I'm taking my car into ICE either this Saturday or Early next week (just waiting for the boys to let me know), see if you can have your car there the same time. To add a bit of spice to the showdown, lets put a wager on it "Winner Shouts".. in that case I'll have a bottle Chivas Regal Royal Salute, an espresso & maybe some dessert if you don't mind thanks :D

:)

yeah mate thats me.

On a serious note is anyone really claiming that one side of the continent has a mortgage on tuning ability ? I am certainly not buying into that sort of shit, at the end of the day its a science (and perhaps somewhat of an art) and the "formula" is available to all good tuners.

summoner - ready for battle!!!!! hehe

meshmesh - sounds sweet, let me know exactly when and I'll try and organise it... Do I hear a challenge?!?!? j/k

Well guys just got back from Calder tonight and if dyno figures aren't your cup of tea, well then heres the results form the 1/4 mile:

11.6 @119mph

Not a bad effort, was expecting mid to high 11's...

One thing I noticed was how hard it was to launch the bastard!!!! With the standard turbos I would normally launch it at 6.5 - 7k rpm, and it would more or less braek traction but tonight, it was bogging down hard off the line at about 7k rpm, and couldn't better a 12.3 all night, with 2.2 60ft times!!!!!

This became too frustrating so there was not much else to do than hit 8k rpm and side step the clutch!!!! and presto, an 11.9 followed by an 11.6 on the very last run...

Obviously being the 10cm version of the T517Z's, it wouldn't get boost off the line at around 7k rpm, causing it to bog down to 2k rpm, which resulted in 2.2-2.4 60ft times...

So therefore I might have to do something about the lag, not too keen on 8k launches, maybe adjust cam gears for low end power, or even change dump pipes, just to get the turbos boosting earlier....

    • 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).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
