Dyno days are frequent enough. There has been a few run by SVD at Tilbrooks Auto n Dyno n possibly a couple at RPM Performance Centre.. could be wrong.

As for track days I haven't heard of one yet...But i kno for $40 or somethin you can go out 2 mallala on an open day for a blast around which'd be a pretty good thrill

Hmmm, interesting... cheers for that. Yeah i wouldnt mind having a crack @ mallala, or just anywhere with a bit of run off area so you can have a decent go. So $40 aint bad... proly need a helmet & and harnesses or something i guess. Hey Timmaaay (or anyone) is there a place where u can advertise cars for sale on this or maybe SDU website?

Yeah it is fun at mallala , Munro and i went out there 1 time, He had his old holden ute at that stage with the 308-350 stroker. I remember his wheels getting so hot all his Centerline caps fell off. I ven took my GTR for a spin in its Drag configuration and managed to get 190kph down the back straight 4.56 diff gears at over 7000rpm was so much fun. Mind u i stuffed my engine and scorched all my bearings but was so worth it :] That little thing of mine hoots around there even with wrong suspension. Full drifts coming out corners etc. Only cost 50 bucks for the day back then. Recomend it to anyone. Great skill driver training as well :]

Just dont do yoo many laps in 1 hit as its realy bad on car wear and generaly got very hot eng, gearbox temps quickly.

I've been testing the Gtech pro with a mate and the result is fairly accurate. The run can also be saved and downloaded onto a laptop for analysis. We should have this organise soon.

May be we should have random weight days at some weight bridge before the mallala day. We can then do a mallala day with 3/4 days of track and 1/4 day of drag strip performance :)

Does anyone have access to a weight bridge?

Does mallala provide open day on the weekend?

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.

      Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust

      Stock O2 sensors are narrowband. They're useless once you're away from stoich. IE, useless for what you're trying to do. 10:1 will read the same as 14:1 from the stock O2 sensors. That is, they'll read rich. The same level of rich.

      I agree once misfires happen it's basically worthless, but the hope is you can see what's happening in the run up to that.

      You should totally get a Brumby, and then come pick up the Subaru Liberty GTB I have here. EJ25 Turbo, 6 speed manual from the sti (just no dccd), and the good rear diff. Drop all that into a Brumby and go have fun!
