Heya Everyone! I have the most amazing news! I won highest Horsepowered 6 !!! YAY!!!

Got a nice trophy and some promo girl pics with cars.. waiting for them to be developed but some should be on the perth-wrx website...

OK the dyno was running EXTREMELY LOW!!! so much so a R33 GTR Vspec II with boost wound up to 1 bar only got 170 rwhp!

Mahy people were asking for re dynoes coz things were just too low...

However must give credit were credit is due the Formaz dyno team did really well! with over 120 competitors i did not see 1 stuff up and were always proffesional. so thats there free plug :-)

Congrats Dan!

Saw your car ONCE at motorvation hey! and that was on the sunday super cruise... talk about hard to find!

Sidenote: Did anyone notice: What happened to announcing scores over the PA?, with 100+ people craning to see the monitor screen, wasn't good.

Yeah they did have a mic on saturday but no one could here it anyway so i'd say they just packed it up for sunday.. hahhaah ahh yes the super cruise..... i did a burn out on saruday and got the most diff bounce i've ever felt... didn't want to do that again so i just drove it nicely on the final one on sunday! everytime someone did a burnout in front of me my car would COMPLETELY fill with smoke and then they would break something!! Orange datsun complete driveline snapped on saturday in front of me!!!

Well done  

I didnt find Formaz THAT low

I got 296rwhp on it and adam32 has 270 with his RB20

Thats all a stock but boosted GTR is good for on a dyno that reads properly, shared between the 4 wheels.

Yeah i know! The funny thing is that Vspec GTR that i mentioned which only pulled 170 rwhp had pulled 250 rwhp on the EXACT same Dyno a few weeks ago.... he even couldn't beleive it..... many of the V8's were getting there mates to sit in the back coz they though the wheels were sleeping but they were still getting low readings.... strnge.... then again wheel slippage can be a VERY big factor especially since it is a car show and every person that was on there had armourall'd there tyres!

Yeah i know mine aint the most powerful thing out there but i was happy to take the trophy and know that i have 60 more HP that a R33 GTR Vspec:uh-huh:

Cabin Auto salon is where I'm hoping I will be getting sweet real figures at though boys... Thats what I'm shooting at next time.... ND4SPD is doing pretty well though... dunno what my end result will be but money like most people is also an issue in this.....

Cabin is a ricers paradise..... i give it NO respect.....

What was your horse power reading........ Dan you must admit the dyno was set wrong if a GTR is reading that low..... Anyway well down.. i didnt see you there... i was with Perth WRX most if Sunday........

Daniel

Ahhh spewin Dan! I didn't think you were gunna be there!!! Yeah the perth wrx girls had some pics taken with my car on saturday.... i think one of the boys had a bad photo of one of em but when there was 4 of em draped over my car it wasn't bad! I was hanging out a lot with the subaru dealership guys there aswell.... sussing out the darkside for us skyline owners... unfortunately some of us turn to the dark side don't they Dan ehehehe!!

Xspeed R34 Gtr ushing out 550 rwhp aint that ricey to me when at cabin!:lol: I do admit though the judges certainly do like ricey stuff!!!!!:uh-huh:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
