Event:
SAUQLD Dyno Day!

Description:
Its time for the 2013 dyno day, where we can check up on our cars the week before the drag day. The day will be held by Sean at EFI performance which has relocated to Southport, so this will also be a good time for us to get acquainted with their new shop. The day last year was a good event and hopefully we can make this year even better!

You will get 3 power runs on the dyno and a print out. Your entry fee will also cover a BBQ lunch and drinks!

Location:
Unit 3 / 30 Bailey Crescent,Southport.
Approximately a 50minute drive from the Brisbane CBD

Date:
Saturday 22nd of June 2013

Time:
From 8am to 1:30pm

Cost:
$55 for members, $65 for non members. Price includes 3 power runs on the dyno and a sausage sizzle and drinks.

Requirements:
Your car, obviously! It will have to be a 2WD car however. R33-34 GTR owners will need to drop their front drive-shafts out to run in RWD, R32 GTR owners can just pull the fuse.

A disclaimer: A dyno puts a lot more strain on your engine than regular street driving. Sean and his team have years of experience working with performance cars and whilst SAU QLD and EFI will take utmost care with your pride and joy, we do not accept any liability if something was to unfortunately go awry. If you have any concerns or questions about putting your car on the dyno, please contact one of the execs and we can refer them onto Sean at EFI.

So what are possible things that can go wrong and how can they be avoided?

Completely destroy motor, second coming of Christ you know the regular.

[Rant] My dyno figures will be lamer then a sick horse, screw you stall converter! :angry:

Either way a dyno is a tuning tool, it's all good to make 11ty killa what's but if your running 13.6 what's the point [/rant]

The main issue is that there is alot more resistance on the driveline than when normally driveing. Think of it as:

normal driving = you running along the road

Dyno pull = you running up a hill with a bungy strap attached to a tree at the bottom

Added strain makes things break easier, but just as in real life the chances that running up that hill will kill you are slim..... Now if Tony or Luke was running up that hill the chances may be different :rofl:

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
