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...

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
