I don't know why these events are members only as usually events like this should be a good way of signing up new members once they get a taste of the kind of events that the club runs... Plus having it open to non-members undoubtedly increased the turnout on the day - not to mention gives a chance to see a new car enter that could be more modified than the usual lot...

Lets not get into what happened at a certain dyno day. with a certain idiot...

If you know what im talking about then you understand thats why we have closed meets for members only, and not some idiot off the street to come in an ruin the event for everyone :P

It eliminates the idiot factor right off the bat

Its a liability i dont need to deal with.

the crowed on the day will be controlled, as i know a fair bit of them through calaisturbo.com.au, You guys (which i know you guys have more sence than others) and nissansilvia.com.

ok fair enough.

but don't complain about the lack of numbers for dyno days.

If your talking about what happen in early Feb? then i was there and it was a great turnout pretty much the biggest dyno day short of autosalon... it was only 1 idiot that fu(ked it up but what are the chances of that happening again?

I had a great time talking to new people and seeing fresh cars - my mate even took a guy for a blast in his S13 they got along so well! (the other guy had a S14)

    • Appreciate the feedback. It is street car, but not a daily. Last week I got a quote from a good exhaust shop for a decat, one which is bolt-on, bolt-off to be easily replaceable. I got quoted for around €150. I usually do push the motor, but I wasn't in this case to make sure that no damage is done until I get the cat sorted. I think it's best to also ask the exhaust shop for the other option and see what they can do. If (big if) I were to decat though, would it be best to tune the car or would the stock ECU handle it? As far as I know, the stock ECU is not tunable and that would require additional purchases.
    • As above, definitely bash it or get it replaced with a high flow unit.
    • get some flares on them, or wider guards haha
    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
