Well, after speaking with the guys at Mercury Motorsport, they've come up with a few different options for us.

It will probably have to be late august/early september by the time we do it because of all the other events in the social calendar!

But the options we now have are to do a night time dyno! Either a friday night starting at 6pm or a saturday night starting at 5pm. This will still be $45 per car, but the numbers will be reduced.

We can still do it on a saturday for $45 per car for around 20 cars, and cheaper for 30 cars.

OR we have the option of doing it on a sunday. IT will be slightly more expensive at $50 per car, but it may be more convenient for people with their social calendars.

Remember this does include a sausage sizzle lunch and the entertainment facilities at the shop.

SO what I ask for now, is for people to say whether they would want a Friday Night, Saturday, Saturday Night or a Sunday and any dates they are available between end of august and middle of september.

Go nuts!

Also, people's opinions on opening up the invite to another club if the numbers aren't reached to have an exclusive day. Please let us know your opinion on the matter, and who you might like to invite. (Eg. WRX club or something) It will be a CLUB that is invited.. Not a website (Eg. Boostcruising or Qld Streetcar).
How bout inviting the Nissan SVD club and the Z Car club as they both have invited us to their dyno days?

At the moment I'd like to keep it exclusively to SAU. Most of the R31 club are on here anyway, so they can come along. All are welcome!

Sometimes people work saturday's that's all. So I was trying to give different options for people.

I might make a poll.

obviously whatever day/date/time it ends up been ill try and make it as will others but id have to say i think the friday option will be not very popular with most people from the way i see it there are a few reasons why like..... if u have to travel like i do (1.5 hrs or so) the friday thing makes it mean an after work dash and then a mad dash home before i fall asleep at the wheel lol... plus people living within bris area its still a decent drive for most people...... im not trying to make it all my own way just pointing out what i hope are a few decent pros/cons for each..... sat or sunday and i rekon ill be able to come and relax .... a poll is a good idea :( i cant wait to see everyones cars on the dyno :) wish mine could go on :)

I know the Friday night option might not be good, but it's still an option so I thought I'd put it down.

I personally would rather it not on a friday night because i'd rather come home and relax from the week. But what the masses want, the masses will get.

Also, please don't vote if you have no intention of turning up.

    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
    • Regardless of neglect or incompetence, fixing either is tedious and annoying. Most of the neglect on my car is definitely rust. I hope I can at least pass inspections later on and they won't fail the car due to slightly corroded hardlines. I was generous with rust converter and wax and it looks ok, most lines in the rear are hard to see properly anyways.  Definitely will test them though to make sure they don't rupture under pressure, in that case the car isn't going anywhere this year.
