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! :)

    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
    • After @Kinkstaah debacle, I'd never want to try and get it right 😛
    • The hood lines up with the fenders. The front bar doesn't perfectly line up with the fenders where the wheel arch is. You have to 'squeeze' the front bar 'in' as it wants to naturally flare out and be longer on the sides. There's a few threads where people notice this when they only swap a GTR style bumper and front bar. Unless you have genuine OEM items - you may be better served getting conversion kits. There are GTT bumpers to fit GTR hoods. There are GTR hoods (non genuine) to fit the GTT bracketry. MAY
