I'm keen as mustard form this.

I've just spent the last 2 days polishing and detailing my car, and she looks better than she ever has before.

:(

I was hoping I would get my car back today for the dyno day, but looks like the workshop is screwing me around..

I got told that I'd get a call but no go! Went in and the guy wasn't there.

Hopefully there is one on again soon.. Was hoping to meet some people from SAU! -_-"

what was the most powerful rb20?

202kw's for me. Not bad but there are plenty of guys making more than that.

Thanks to the organisers. I had fun except the defect on the way down there.

Who won the 'guess the kw' comp?

the r31 got 233 rwkw's

Yup, the oldest skyline at the day held its own against its larger capacity brothers and all with a stock turbo. :down:

Another RB20 came very close that had a 2535, nice curve as well.

Then there was a white 32 with an RB20.......that began its ramp up with af/r's starting at 17:1 and dissapearing off the top of the chart. Operator backed right off and I assume he thought something was amiss as they redid the sniffer and started again to get the same result.

Engine was obviously a time bomb but owner is lucky he spent the couple dollars to put it on as it has saved him an engine.....if its not already too late.

That was my R32 with the 2535...made 223.4rwkw...turns out my boost gauge was inaccurate and it was only running 17psi...should have been 19-20psi...but i'm happy with the result regardless...in the end...it was a great day...cheers all...

Oh...and go the rb20!! :)

What a great turn out!

Some spectacular cars out there today! Good to meet some of the memebers on here in person. Would have like to see the Millenium Jade coloured R34 GTR V-Spec II Nur run a dyno.

Did Snowman run? If so what was his power output?

The Blk R34 GTT with the GTR kit and blk wheels was sick! I followed you for abit down Springvale Rd.

So many cars too may to mention. GREAT DAY!

PS took afew pics.

    • Yeah they sure are available for import now, its great news Matt, You need an import specialist insurer, nothing has really changed over the years about the mainstream insurance companies not touching them. I have my cars with Lumley (same group as NRMA etc) because they insure imports and have a good concept of "stable use" where as long as no more than 2 cars are being driven each day you can have them all on a good rate, I've also had no issues with claims through them. Note they won't insure a car if you take it to the track, even for an off track claim. Shannons are another option but I had a lot of trouble with their claims (they were happy to take the premiums, not so keen to pay out), and I'm sure there are other import specialists too 
    • I'm a lifelong home drummer, was in a couple of bands as a teenager/early 20's then moved to Japan and didn't play at all until 2019 when my missus and I were invited to check out the band room upstairs at a restaurant cafe here in JP. They had a full acoustic drum kit and they let me have a bash for about 20 mins. I went away from there wondering how I could not play for 19 years.... Missus bought me a e-drum kit a few weeks later (Yamaha DTX402) which is basic but lets me play at home in my tiny Japanese house.  Also have an Epiphone Les Paul and little Vox amp and delay pedal I bought for the missus because she wanted to learn to play the guitar, but she never got into it. That was about 8 years ago. I taught myself to play some 80's U2 song riffs like the Fly solo, etc and some other things but being a drummer I don't really have the dexterity in the fingers lol. Ham fisted if you will. So I kind of just mess around with the guitar rather than try to seriously play complete songs. My son on the other hand inherited all my side of the family's musical talent and is a brilliant classical pianist at 16 years old. He'll go on to do something in the music industry here for sure once he finished his schooling. I got him a Yamaha NU1XA hybrid piano earlier this year.
    • If the BOV is plumbed in as mentioned, like stock.... why exactly would it stall? It'd be like stock. Do stock cars stall with stock bovs?
    • You mean a rich spike, as the air has been metered multiple times due to the turbulent air, you end up injecting more fuel causing a momentary dip in torque and quite possibly a stall event. TL;DR, install a Haltech Elite or S3 or R3, convert to DBW, throw all ancient shit into the bin and enjoy the car.
