Well on Saturday I rocked up for the Barnes High Performance dyno day. First of all a big thanks to Barnesy for putting this on. Guys it was totally free. He has a proper dyno dynamics dyno that is calibrated properly plus he really knows what he's doing.

Seeing my car is stock as a rock apart from a custom cat back exhaust and a slightly modified airbox I was pretty stoked when I pulled 151rwkw (will post up graph at work, cost me $25 for the printout). Some other Skylines only got 120-130rwkw which is what I was expecting.

Overall it was a great day, Barnesy had heaps of commentry, tips and suggestions that weren't bullshit - plus he went from 9-5pm. I think they got through close to 100 cars. A big effort and apparently he has one every 6 months.

But the best part was he got our local member for parliment there dynoed his car and put a really good spin on the whole thing. He is pushing for a circuit and skidpan on the coast. He encouraged good behaviour and even the local commodore wankers did the right thing. Hopefully it will mean a motorsport complex in years to come.

Guys on the coast - drop by and have a yarn to him he is honest and knows turbo cars.

Damn :Owned:

Heheheh. I reckon all that yellow space saver rice power gave me at least 20rwkw :)

Actually I did it with my new 17" rims with, wait for it.......................................... Genuine, real, new rubber.

Damn I didn't know what hit me. As soon as I got new tyres I instantly loss 30kw. It's only in the wet that I now make up that power

Speaking of which I should have that video ready soon. Includes space saver action.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By V35Newbie · Posted

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.

      Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
