Hope the enthusiasm doesn't wear off. I'd certainly like to see an event organised by our two clubs.

We're going to be at Shannon's Wheels Expo this year. If nothing eventuates before, we can use that show to have a discussion and try to set up some sort of agenda.

I organised a joint supra skyline event before, went down really well (but it was the sydney guys)

Its fun to race your mates, but its more fun to race new mates :wave:

No, no.. you keep your fuse plugged in... Hate to see those training wheels come off >_<

I'm looking forward to our little 3 round comp too. I noticed the dyno day thread but it looks like we may not be invited.

LoL, no fuse to pull out... I have a switch in the car... Training wheels on a switch with a turque controller, just to make sure the training wheels work to there very best. :banana:

Then make a dyno day and invite me. :D I will come and get my ass handed to me :w00t:

Can be 2wd dyno too :)

We had one in October last year.

We're trying to limit our own dyno events to one per annum. That may, and probably will, change though.

However if this was going to be part of our 3 round "Supra Vs Skyline" comp then I'm sure that we can arrange it.

Here's some links to our dyno day video.

I know a couple of these supra people, dyno we are going to lose, but at least one of these high horsepower supras cant drive it for shit and I mean FOR SHIT!! *cough* Danny *cough*

And ive heard a few stories, so it will be a different kettle on the track.

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :D

Id rather pay a higher price and have less cars on track, more to ourselves.

What is the autosports web site?

:D

you're such a n00b John!

I see you finally made it here :D

ps. wtf is with the satay thing?!?!

lol, made it here? You make it sound like im some long lost relative :D Im so keen for this, i love grudge matches - and the fact that ive got both cars means i can win either way! If a supr has the fastest time ill be on their side and bag you lot, if a skyline wins ill be on your side and knock my supra as being stock :D Win win :D

Merli changed my name after seeing what i had to eat at dinner (satay chicken)

lol! long lost brother??!! :D:D

(adopted - cos we look nothing alike haha!)

nah i just meant since i told you on the phone that time about it!! you finally made it to the thread!!

lol

Ok, you're now my long lost adopted sister from down south

Yep im in for this day so i figured posting in the thread would help :D

Some good power there...

I like the just over 300kw run thats on 13psi. Thats good.

Yeah, heaps of potential. Aftermarket twin turbo setup. Lots more to come from this car and at least one more in a few weeks.

My car had fuel delivery issues at the dyno day. Intermittent loss of fuel due to the stock pump and walbro intank playing up. Had a bosch 044 installed since. Much better power figures now.

Im very keen for this day, we seem to have enough interest aswell... We just need a solid booking now.

By the way "Silver RZ" lots of power might be good for dyno days and the quater mile but on the track its a different story... There are a few light little GTST's here that pack a good punch on the track without having big power figures... You might get us on the straight but look out for us through the twisties :D

The Supra has always been given the 'heavy-weight' branding by the US. The RZ is actually 1490kg compared to 1320kg R32 Skyline GTST, 1480kg R32 Skyline GTR and 1500kg R32 Skyline GTR V-Spec.

But you're definitely right. A good setup gets you far at the track. It's better however to have power and not need it, then need power and not have it. :D

Everyone calls me Niko by the way.

edit: If Jayce is reading any of this, then G'day mate. Long time no see.

LoL that was my next question... Which ones yours.

Niko's supra i would be putting my money on now ;)

I didnt have much of a chance to watch the vids before work just a quick look.

Its really good to see you guys making vids... I rate that.

Good work guys.

Yeah I thought it was a good job of the vids too - makes me feel guilty for not taking the time to work on the marques cruise :D

who's this Danny you speak of, do i know you? :(

Danny, there may be some confusion as to who cannot drive for shite on a race track and that should be directed at me. I spent a lot of time on the dirt and I told Johnny boy all about it when we worked together and I was suitably laughed at...... :angry:

Now that I have my suspension all set up, all I need are some tyres and hopefully I have learnt something about setting a car up for track work/play. :banana:

    • I know right. It baffled me. There's no way when the engine is off, key is in ignition, (coils are dissconnected aswell), also my sound system was dissconnected (I don't run any audio capacitors), battery reads 12.2v and with the 10amp fuse blown I was measuring 24 to 30v. The reading would move a bit from 30v to 24v which was weird. I took a pic of the multi meter reading 🤣: (This is a brand new single channel digital oscilloscope that also has a multi meter mode).   Before when the fuse was blown, I had one lead on the 12v supply (green/white wires) of that brown relay and the other lead on the negative battery terminal. When I turned the key on ignition (engine off), it would read 30v. Then when I removed that relay from it's plug and tried putting ignition on again, it would read 12v, but I think it's because it can't turn on the ecu now that I removed it. I asked Chatgpt and this is what it had to say:   Not sure if those theories would be possible but, any auto sparkies here? welcome to confirm. 🤷‍♂️  No idea, but if it happens again, atleast I know what type of issue it is, unlike last few months where I didn't know what was causing all my issues and I was just taking stabs in the dark to figure out what type of problem it was. If it does happen again I'm going to investigate futher and trace back the source even more and inspect more circuits. I drove it to work this morning and the car drove and boosted fine. Yeah I was thinking the same, so I've imported my back up saved map (which is the map that I saved when it got done tuning) back onto my haltech with the base fuel pressure set to 43.5psi.
    • Yeh nice, if your in melbourne could you recommend any exhaust shops in the east that do a good job?
    • Sorry yes, this is what im after Also, that jpjdm site appears to be offline
    • @Duncan Random side note, did the cops give you the driver/owners details of the taxi and then did Shannons give you a refund of the excess once you supplied those details?
    • Yeah to be clear I'm not naive, I'm sure all insurance companies are a bunch of arseholes who pay people bonusses based on the value of genuine claims they avoid....I just don't want to go back to one that has personally f**ked me multiple times in the past
