Herman at Envy imports has just bought a new AWD Dyno Dynamics dyno. big investment for them, and it's great for us as so many of our cars are AWD (all the GTS4s, stageas, GTRs). Anyway, he wants to kick it off with a dyno day and asked if we'd be interested in having one with SAU. He will give us a special SAU financial member price for the day. Basically the outline is this:

Dyno Day, Satuday 16th of August, held at the Envy Imports dyno room, rear of 3 Powells Rd Brookvale (northern beaches, near manly). Everyone is welcome, any kind of car.

Entry costs $50 and SAU NSW club members pay only $40 (if you sign up as a SAU NSW Club member on the day you pay the discounted price also)

There will be a sausage sizzle and drinks etc available.

You get 3 runs. 1 warm up and check that everything is ok, then 2 power runs.

You get a printout with your power and AFR on it.

They will also give a free analysis of the graph (too lean? too rich? poor boost control? detonation? etc, great for people who have not really read a dyno graph before).

And, if you book your car in on the day for further tuning work or whatever Herman will give some kind of discount.

Also, an R35 GTR will be there.

The day kicks off at 9am with the first cars on the dyno around 9:30. You will need to turn up, pay and register then you will be called in the order you arrived.

Please note this one important detail. When attending these types of events you are representing our club, and car enthusiasts in general. There is no need to chuck a skid, or accelerate as hard as you can to prove how awesome you are. We already know you're awesome. I mean you don't see michael schumacher after a Grand Prix go into the car park, hop in his ferarri and chuck a massive burnout now do you? Only wankers with something to prove engage in this kind of behaviour at these events, don't put yourself in that category. Should you feel the need to act like a dick you will be laughed out of the forum, banned from the club and most likely reported to the police.

There will be trophies awarded for highest outright power, top under 2L, top under 2.6L, top outright, top NA. (might add top 4wd and top Rwd too since it's a 4wd dyno).

I will be there. :blink: going to run my little silvia and see how she goes.

It should be a great day guys, and the R35 is one hell of a car, so if you haven't seen one it's a good chance to get up close with one. :)

This is great. One dyno day on today up at Tuggerah to get an initial figure, then I can put the new turbo, boost controller, intercooler and fuel pump in, and get another go just 4 weeks later! Provided my plans fall into place - I'm there too. :)

haha watch out nick (sorry ian :D )...I am going for highest power volvo. because if the damn thing isn't tuned by then I will just buy a V70

Pffft, you can keep your Volvo award, I'll go for highest power Stagea. :)

If that looks like it will fail, does anyone wanna help me import a crazy mid-60's Volvo Amazon with some over-the-top turbocharged B23 motor? (This is from one of the Getaway in Stockholm DVDs)

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.

      KYBs are typically twin tube, putting them in the lower tier of desireability. Do you just want to replace worn out ones for the lowest cost? I mean, you wouldn't just replace one end of a car, if the rears are a similar age to the fronts, then they are probably nowhere near what they should be, and likely won't be great against brand new fronts. So, to spend ~$800 on 2nd tier dampers, when you could get a decent set of MCA coilovers for <$4k.....? As to the strut tops. 1st up, the Sparesbox site specifically tells you that they are not correct for an R33. Beyond that, why do you think you need them?
