Was a good turnout, alot of nice cars.

Whats the deal with that dude with the bluebird wagon claiming his car was wheelspinning, and bagging shauns dyno opperating...?? check his web site at this link

www.srt910.com

check the graphs and make up your own decision, you can see at peak torque the power dips and is all wavy from then on, also the torque curve turns quickly depicting what wheel spin would to a dyno graph.

This in its self I have no problem with, if you car wheel spins on the dyno so be it, it spun, but the part i do have a problem with if for someone to turn around and tell me there is 100% no posibility,no change ever that it wheel spun, and that my previous runs are "reading high" because of a higher ramp rate used, when after i found out what ramp rate was used,his comment is completly untrue.

So that is my opinion, you have your opinion.

Bagging Shaun and his dyno (on the open internet) because your not happy with the result you got (on a dyno day where he is pressed for time) doiing his best getting everyones car on and off is bad form in my opinion....

Sky30's car did wheelspin (you could see it and hear it), which Shaun had to restrap it down cos it got a little off line from memory...

Shaun is not bothered who won or lost, he doesn't

own any of the cars, and any that were there are built to the

owners wishes,He is just doing his job . To think he is worried about

your car winning SR910 shows how modest you are :) ,

Bloody dyno queens :angry:

awesome day guys, thanks to everyone who put in their efforts. Just finished putting my footage to vcr, looks great but its not a digital camera so i can't post it up i'm afraid. Loved seeing sky30's car on there hoping that i can one day make that with my rb30.

Once the Rb30 is in my car i will definitely be taking the car to Shaun for everything dyno and otherwise related, very professional guy!

Good luck to everyone with their cars and keep modding so our next dyno day can be even bigger and better with more cars. I'm suggesting the end of summer once it cools down again but so that the weather is still nice like yesterday!

The dyno graph should show large dips if the car is wheelspinning bad during a run. It is also easly seen and heard, but realy dont care if your car was or wasnt wheelspinnig on the dyno, or what power it made(all cars were run on the same dyno, the same day, by the same opperator). Baggin out shaun on the Net aint a good thing to do.

So incidentily would it show smaller dips for less then "bad" wheel spin, consitering the losses were only in the region of 35+ kw? Just like it shows on the sheet.

I dont care if i "win or loose" a dyno comp, i dont care if my car wheel spins on a dyno, i do care about what a dyno operator says about integrity of the people i use to work on my car.

but that is ok, i didnt mention anything here, i didnt even mention the dyno operators name, your the one who brought it up here, i talk about my experiences and opinions on my website about my cars.

Have a nice day

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

my "opinion"

more like someone didn't want to face that another car using a engine only cost 1/3 to built with tons better off boost pull better result with the same turbo setup hence get upset :lol:

Good call on the yellow 33 there Chops, was a bit of a sleeper i thought, would be happy with those results out of mine :P

Yeh thanks Ash for your hospitality afterwards, would have come to Andrews but mate racing yesterday had to sort some Kart issues out, Next time for sure.

Good to see so many Skylines on saturday and catch up with a few people

Had to leave early due to other commitments, thanks to everyone who organized it and big thanks to Boostworx for the day and for all the stuff done on my car

Here's my chart, nice torque for a little 167,000km old RB20 :P

Need a bigger turbo!

Thanks heaps to Will and Boostworx for the day, and anyone else who helped :P

I would also like to thank the sympathetic comments that people made when they saw the key marks on my poor car.

That shit was f**ked up, i just don't know how these low-lives can act like that, just gets me angry thinking about it again.
Here's my sheet from the Crown.

Thanks for letting me join in boys, much appreciated.

Mate i would have been bloody disappointed if you HADN'T put it on the dyno, you can't tease us with 4.5L of donk and turbo as big as your head and not run it, and from the back seat the power delivery felt impressively smooth it just kept pulling. :D
What turbo does he run?

What boost?

ECU?

Injectors?

Cams?

I second this Sky30, keen to know the specs above especially the specs of the 35/40 u r running! Looked so tough watching the footage back on TV!

    • 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
