I have used it many times in America RN.

But most are not from Australia.

And most are of guys drivng there cars.

There are not many guys putting ther cars on youtube.

Everytime we do something large it should be on youtube.

In American they have run where you will find 500 to 1K cars from one manufacture.

And we should do the same because Australia is the largest importer of skyline from Japan.

People in the states are youtubing there dyno runs.

Lets show the world our dyno runs.

Dyno videos are quite boring - but ok. What about a youtube video of your car just going vid? :P

I'll do one when it goes on for its full tune, but here is one done while in the "working through bugs" stage... its venting externally as part of an elimination process to find out what the cause for wastegate creep I have been experiencing is. The conclusion is the wastegate hasn't been getting enough flow, as it still creeps and you can hear when the wastegate first opens that its not actually letting much gas by until the turbine actually starts getting a bit of pressure so have had to rework how the wastegate bypasses gas past the turbo. In the mean time it has been road tuned to make sure its running semi-ok and to trace how much creep it gets.

Anyway, clip of a couple of runs on our bit of test road.

Vrooom?

From the recent qld dyno day, courtesy of Col-GTSX:

I have one of my own dyno run that I could upload as well, but honestly, even watching my own cars dyno run is boring. My camera clips most of the sound out to begin with, then youtube just makes it worse. Not being able to hear just how loud these really are (or are not in the case of my car) is just sucky.

unless the cars either yours or someone you know, or the car is making 1000hp, there fairly boring to watch IMO

Even then its boring.

Unless your big power machine starts smoking up its tyres on the dyno, or blows its engine, or some other "wow" beastliness, a 1000hp run looks no different to a 200hp run. Oh look! The rear wheels are spinning on some rollers and its making a lot of noise!

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      Ah. OK. I take it back. I hadn't looked closely at the R33/4 arms and presumed that GKTech did as GKTech do everywhere else, which is to use sphericals there. The poly bushings are made to be 100% interchangeable, should use the standard bolt just fine. Every other bush in every other place in pretty much every other car, does.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      @silviaz Ok cool, so much easier with a video. I can see why this video would be confusing for new players.   It is obvious that this entire bonnet is going to be resprayed, have a look in the background around 2:05, you can see a bunch of bare metal on the left side of the bonnet.  It's not an issue for the primer being laid down on the non-prepped clear on the bonnet. It will be sanded off at a later stage.  This might not be obvious to new players, but working on bare metal and factory paint in this instance, the factory paint is like a mountain and the bare metal is a huge valley. The bonnet needs to be levelled flat before it receives it's final stage of colour and clear coat. During this levelling process, the primer that is landing on the clear that you are worried about will be removed.  Also, this guy is out of control. Zero PPE while spraying, maybe he is a good example overall about what not to do lol.

      Ok I FINALLY found a video lol. This took way longer than it should have as I could have sworn I saw multiple videos like this. I kept finding the completely opposite (the correct way of doing this). I wouldn't be surprised if I f**ked this up somehow.  I just realised where I've been getting confused and even with other things I work on. I haven't been doing things the regular way instead I'm going a roundabout way of doing things, like putting epoxy primer first then filler for example instead of putting just filler then primer on top of that, then wondering what happens if I get that primer on the clear coat that I haven't sanded yet. This was a bit of an epiphany 馃槀  But anyways, here this video. Time stamp, 2:56, some of the primer lands on the paint unscuffed above. You can see from the reflection it looks shiny.

      It does, this part circled in red. I assume the OEM bolt might not work well with the poly bushing because the dimensions may be different?

      The J arm doesn't have bushes either. Assuming that by "J arm" you mean the part of the upright that runs down from the upper arm's outer bushes to the top of the hub. That has a kingpin style bearing in it. If you meant the lower control arm, it has 1 bush, at its inner end. If you have PU in there, that is superior to Nismo rubber. If you meant the caster/tension rod - it has 1x bush at the front end, and again PU is superior to Nismo rubber. But as I said above, I would definitely get the GKTech arms for that, as sphericals slay all other options there.
