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:

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
