yeah, great work on organising Will!

Thanks too for Ash having some of us back for a bbq.

Then thanks for those that came to my place after that for some 8-ball and drinks tonight!

it's good turnout, I had a great day :)

haven't seen so many cars for ages

and it's good to meet a few new faces :wub:

thanks for Will about the dyno day

Ash & andrew for the BBQ and drinks

MS-75's car is TUFF!!!!!!!!! i want pic of his turbo!

Thanks Will for organising the Dyno day, also a big thanks to Shaun for setting up the Boost Controller on the Car. Was good to talk to a few new people out there and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I was happy to get no2 behind that monster 4.5ltr crown with the dinner plate sized turbo.

I'm thinking of selling the Engine package in the Car if anyone is interested you can PM me.

Thanks for organising it Will, and thanks to Shaun and Boostworks for their efforts.

Sorry I was a bit late-I was doing a few little jobs before the Horsepower show next weekend.

I'm pretty sure I saw Terry's R33 go 355 on the first run on higher boost and Chops went 229 late in the day.

If anyone got any video of my blue whale on the dyno I'd love to get a copy.

Cheers :rolleyes:

I was curious how Chops went once he ran in the v8 shootout mode.

I wonder whats up with these shootout modes, would the turbo's also read higher in the v8 shootout mode? or is the only difference the ramp rate to help prevent wheel spin when the turbo comes on.?!? :rolleyes:

I had a great time.

Very good turn out.

Interesting to note there are two distinct groups amongst the dyno figures for the skylines - lots in he 180-200rwkw region, then the jump to about 240+ for those that have upgraded turbos.

I would be interested in some more info about the yellow R33 owned by "Nathan". Looked to be a very good street type package making in the 240s and a nice spread of useable power.

Thanks to Will and the guys at Boostworx for the day.

Thanks to Ash for the BBQ festivities.

Thanks to Andrew for letting us raid his house (again), and his wife for the pies (no jokes required guys).

Thanks to everyone else for making mine a very enjoyable day.

Will post my graph for everyone later when I can be bothered getting it out of the car.

Made 229 when it went on last after everyone finished.

Ramp rates are the main differences I think.

I would be interested to see how all the cars ran in non-shootout, so the different types of cars could be compared on the same (even more level) playing field. I'm not sure if there are any possible dangers associated with this though.

As I mentioned on the day, I really don't care what the dyno says. I use one particular dyno to gauge what differences my mods have made.

Car runs 108mph at approx 1850kg with driver, so that's how much HP it has.

Well thats it.... 1/4 times don't lie.

Typing your numbers in to a 1/4 calc it states your uncorrected hp is 406hp.

From memory the LS1's loose roughly 61rwkw.

Thats 241rwkw. Close enough. :rolleyes:

was great to give my car a run for the first time, thanks for all the organising Will! look out for my massive 120rwkw ... RAWR! :rolleyes:

some damn impressive cars there!

Edited by GFXman

wow.. 120rwkw.. mine was making that by what.. 2500rpm.. heheh :D

Sky30, if you can pleeassse.. :rolleyes: Scan and post your dyno run.

I'm keen to overlay it with Bl4ck32's and Mine to see how that GT35R makes its power. :P

geez you must have left early Julian .... I got there about 12:30pm and you'd already gone.

FYI anyone that saw it the black smoke pouring out of my exhaust, it was fuel - the S15 is running mega-rich - hence the low power figure. My battery went flat while I was in the USA and reset all the oem computer specs putting my Unichip way out of whack.

I went to a dyno day and the car only made 285, after checking the graph it is clear to see at peak torque it started to wheel spin on the dyno and hence the lost power, also noticable from the sharp turn of the torque curve. Even so the dyno operator would not admit it was wheel spinning and said it must be the ramp rates used on my previous dyno runs, more like he didnt want certain cars he has built with 2 more cylinders and another litre of displacment with the same turbo to get upset.

Do you know how silly that sounds? LMAO!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
