Hey Adam (Abo Bob)

As u well know mate the engine is KAPOOT >_< So I aint gonna be going anywhere with the Cefiro.... So scratch me from the lineup :huh:

But i will be back for the next one...with some SERIOUS Cefiro POWAH :D:)

BIGGER , BADDER , CEFIRO POWER ahahahahaha :yes:

Does anyone mind if i bring my mate and his magna??? He wants to see what it does

I'm sure he's more than welcome to give it a go on the dyno.

It'd be nice to see some other cars dynoed apart from Skylines!

With so many coming and me being such an SAU event n00b, I'd need everyone to wear nametags with the online nick printed on them :O

"Hi, my name is cowie165" :P

maybe a good idea.

I have only ever met about 5 ppl from the sdu days

Adam, I'm pretty certain I'll be along and running the Stagea (assuming they'll still be doing the "pull the driveshafts, remove/replace clutch slave cylinder" thing). Either way, I'll be along for a look and meet & greet during the day.

I think my cousin is coming down from the Central Coast in his s1 R33, but I doubt he'll be running his car as he has a PowerFC, but it hasn't been tuned beyond the self-learning stages yet.

Cheers,

Nick T.

Sounds interestingand coool.. might take my fully stock-ass R33 and see how it does. So I can use the test as some-sort of benchmark as someone in here suggested.

Never dynoed it before. Havent seen some of you guys for awhile aswell. How big is this place? assuming it will accomadate everyone hopefully. If I dont dyno Ill watch everyone else rip it. :D

:mad:

Pretty big set up and big dyno room with multi screens and big car park and not too many other cars on a Saturday especially in the afternoon. Lunch shop right next door normally closes at 12 but will stay open longer as plenty of customers to buy V Drinks. Should be a fun and interesting day for all.

Turbo Smart will be there with new product we have been working on with them and will be testing and showing as well as other suppliers. Also new M110 Fuel to test before and after etc.

Also contacted HPI and Zoom mags.

    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
