Why Dyno Dynamics didn't jump all over the Autosalon concept and try to own it from the outset is beyond me. They market their arse off at every other show but not Autosalon.....has me furked.

I didn't make it this year. Had my first weekend off in about 4 months when I wasn't doing something car related. Lots of cricket and lots of couch. Awesome effort by the RH9 car. More gas? New turbos? Both? Does anyone know what changed between now and a few months ago?

Cheers

I'm surprised that we as a club don't have a stand like they do in Vic?

I was very disappointed with the event, way too many show cars and too much spent on stands than the actual cars themselves. Cars with LCD screens on both the front AND back of headrests is a little over the top!!

Can we please make braided hose line covers illegal? arghhh

The yellow Tomei R34 GTR drag car is for sale:

This should have had a run on the dyno...probably would have made 1500+ on the Autoshowoff dyno :)

This was a awsome car I would love to own it but i dont have any spare Kiddneys to sell :):(

Anyway I loved the event I like the displays and if I get of my arse next year I will do it with a display as I have done back in adelaide .

To all those who put down or dislike car owners who have bling bits on cars :laugh:

Good on them that is what THEY LIKE and that is the main thing that is why they go to these events to show them off and be proud of it there is a good mix of cars there from high power GTR's with BLING too just BLING and nothing else .

I my slef like a bit of both but i like all over all .

At the end of the day it is about girls cars music and girls and also girls so if you hate it :P:(

its fun to see what they think up next.......the RX7 with tv screens as headlights was really fun to see...as well as lcd screens on the front bumpper and lcd tv screen on the number placee area.....bling is fun to see as well

for anyone who went and noticed the dudes with little rc cars drifting around a track, a member made a little vid compilation of the weekend. im a member and its pretty fun wacking on some pvc or abs piping onto a rc car and getting it sideways. its like if something breaks, it wont mean pulling the motor out, even if it does its only an electric one!

heres the vid, just right click and save as... clicky

Plenty did change, I am not at liberty to tell, just keep this in mind, RH9 was running on 20 inch rims, and the car was not taken to its limit....it still has more, as you can see by the pic i was in the area.... :(

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
