Last weekend there seemed to be a general consensus from SAU people at the 4/6/Rotor Nats that a Dyno Day was in order.

And on my travels around OCAU (Overclockers Australia), who incidently have some rather active Motoring forums, I found this:

alrighty, for a Dyno Day, got the shops name from ozhonda.com.

I rang Grahams West Workshop, 668 Marion Rd Park Holme, he'll need 3-4 weeks notice, and get about 10 cars and over.

you get 3 runs:

2wd - $40 (fwd or rwd)  

4wd - $50

He said should be able to strap a bike on for a run if anyone is interested.

Would have to be on a Saturday morning start around 8.30am - 9.00am

So anyone interested, I can get approx 5 cars already.

UPDATE: New thread to seperate from the cruise here:

So who's interested in helping SAU take on OCAU and blow them away? :rofl:

Dyno DAY,

Out of interest to you and other SAU forum members the SVD club is holding another dyno day at TILBROOKS on sat the 7th of May.Cost is unkown to me at present(but going on the above prices and what we held last year it should work out cheaper) however i will keep you informed when the info is available.There will be a barbi and drinks available as well.

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym)...

err maybe .... I don't mean to sound negative Ash, but we tend to be a bit snobby toward other 'clubs', as we are definitely not RA (Ricers Anonymous) like most other groups in Adelaide. We like to keep it 'in house', and consort with adults, but you never know, there may be some interest since we haven't had a dyno day in such a long time.

That's cool, I just want to get on the dyno in the next few weeks, and if I can save some money and be invloved in an event in the process, all the better!

I don't really think they're much of a ricer crew (someone was talking of slapping a Valiant on there!) but obviously I don't KNOW, my guess would be the biggest problem is a possible abundance of "grommies" hanging around, but in my experience you tend to get that at a lot of these events.

Interestingly enough, their last Cruise culminated in somebody rolling their parents' car! http://www.ratemyparking.net/vote.php?eid=31

It was all at quite low-speed and nobody got hurt thankfully.

I'm not sure if Willall would be interested in hosting a dyno day, but I would say that a combined LS1 and SAU dyno day would be a good thing... sure to have enough interest between the two camps.

That's understandable and why i mentioned it, but i doubt there's much chance of a roll-over on the dyno, LOL.

I agree, but I'm afraid it sets in my mind the "level" of punter such an event would attract.

True, true, well they're trying to get one going for 9th or 16th April and I'm happy to test the water with the OCAU Adelaide camp and report back.

But, if SAU / LS1 gets one going before then I'll pull out and head to that instead,

if they get one going after well I'll at least turn up to spectate if not run again! :)

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
