Skyline King has made a tentative offer to organise a Dyno Day

Probably on the Gold Coast.

I know from expearience with these forums that a lot of people will probably express interest. What i'd like to know, and probably Skyline King too, is how many would actually turn up for it on the day.

For starters.....I am interested.....and I WILL turn up on the day

Hi Dude, I organised a dyno day a short while back and it went pretty well. Here are the categories I used.

4 cyl upto 2l

4 cyl 2l and up

6 cyl 2l

6 cyl 2l and up

Rotory

Eight

I imagine you will get more cars than I did because of your location (I am in Toowoomba) so more categories may be needed.

Please don't take this as critisism but there are a couple of things wrong with your categories.

1. "STOCK" - How can you be sure the car IS stock, some cars will have mods that can't be seen.

2. "Light Mods" - What is considered Light mods? You will have many problems with people who say that sos and so hs more mods and so and so has less mods, you don't need the hassle of people arguing about who should be in what category.

3. "Heavy Mods" - Again, how can you determine who has what, some people will say I have x x x x mods then when they turn up they have more or less than they said so it will screw up your planning...

Basically as the organiser you don't need the hassle on the day as you will have heaps to do as it is.

The categories I would suggest for your even would be.

4 cyl upto 2l Turbo (Starlets. CA Silvia's etc)

4 cyl 2l and up Turbo (SR Silvia's, TX3's etc)

4 cyl 2l and up N/A

6 cyl 2l Turbo (RB20 Skylines)

6 cyl above 2l Turbo (GTR, Supra etc)

6 cyl above 2l N/A

Rotary Turbo

Rotary N/A

Eight

Automatic (You need a different category for Auto's as they can't be dyno'd in the same gear as the others)

Sounds good and I can't wait. Will you be using shoot out software? We used this to keep in line with Summernats etc so people know that they have been dynoed all with the same settings per category.

Just trying to help, if you want to know more about our day just ask.

well i dont think it should be open to just anyone.. only by special invite by sau members. If we are going to have club events, we have to make them more exclusive so it is actually worth being a member.

on another note, skyline king - do you sell different lengths of pre cut and bent pipes and silicon joins?

oh and im curious on why are we having little comps???

like i thought the idea of a dyno is just to see how your car has improved, what level it is.. sort of like a 1/4 mile on the track, your only racing the clock( or dyno in this case)

soryr guys, i dont want comps coz i know myn will loose,

nismo girl, my car will beat yours to slowest skyline...

since i have a n/a rb20...

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
