Hi Everyone,

I'm Cameron, one of the owners of Mercury Motorsport. I know a few of you from skidpan days, as well as through organisation of this dyno day.

If people would prefer to start at 2pm, then I'm sure we can accomodate. A 5pm start allows us to accomodate 12-15 cars, a 2pm start would mean 21-24 cars. Erin, could you perhaps change the poll at the top of this thread to include the 2pm start as an option?

A BBQ with a can of soft drink will be supplied as part of the cost.

The dyno is a 4wd dyno dynamics dyno and we'll be running the latest version of the software as supplied by DD. More information regarding the dyno can be found at Dyno Dynamics webpage - http://www.dyno.com.au.

Mercury Motorsport is located at 2/278 Newmarket Road, Wilston, our workshop is located behind the big yellow used furniture dome. We are 1km from Harry's Diner, and 400m from the Wilston train startion. For more information, including how to get there, workshop services (yes, we do manufacturers logbook servicing) and contact details, go to http://www.mercurymotorsport.com.au, or call 1300 558 650.

Thanks!

I can't seem to do that.

But just a note to everyone, that the Saturday Night option will start at 2pm. I'll try and get one of the adminitrators to change the option.

Cameron, is the 28th August ok for yous?

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
