CRD Dyno day - DATE CHANGED - Now Oct 12th 2003


Recommended Posts

Guys there will be no "running order" as such, however it WILL be first in best dressed. Cars will be lined up in groups of 5 or so.

Those who are on the waiting list as shown in the first post need to come along on the day and see if a spot opens up.

Hello all,

Never been to a dyno day (or CRD for that matter), so I'm hoping someone can help me out with a few questions:

1. CRD Dyno - Will this dyno cause problems with cars that have low-ish front bars? My car has one such offending item and I'm not sure if it will get onto the dyno - that said, my car has been on a dyno before, so if they are all standard in this regard, it should be ok i guess. If somebody tells moe otherwise, I will take it off before I go.

2. How long will the day last for - the start time is 8-9am, and there are 35 cars running. Do we only get one run each, and if so, then what time approx would we get through all 35 cars?

And a final one to satisfy my curiosity - any press attending? (ie should I wash my car :D)

Thanks for your time, and see you all there!

Chris

1: Shouldnt be a problem

2: the runs are power runs with the option for people to ask a few questions assuming we get through the cars at a reasonable pace. 35 Cars are running, perhaps a few more if things go well. The day as mentioned is first come first served. Cars will be lined up in order of arrival so get there early to ensure you arent at the back of the queue.

3: im sure plenty of people will be taking photos and the like so yes wash your car

course they will provide teh graphs dude..

On another note?

I had 2 spots? and only 1 seems to be listed????

I used to have a second spot up there?

I have a special GTiR coming along in the second spot.... :D

If I cant have my spot back - please add it to the reserves as he is defo coming.

Oh and I wouldnt think Mongie is coming now???

he wrote off his R33 GTR???

Thanks

Michael

    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
    • Yeah 4wd (boosted) has a recess in the firewall for the booster, and 2wd is flat - the example in the link shows the flat surface. When you deleted the booster, did you just attach the factory slave cylinder directly to the recess in the firewall with no adaption?  
    • Yes, but no. You need to keep the mating surfaces bare (ie the flat faces where the caliper and upright pads touch the dogbone) and also the internal threads will remain bare (unless there are no internal threads - do they use nuts on all the bolts?). So you can slow down obvious external corrosion, but not all of it. Anodising would be required to provide decent protection to the alloy, but I'm not actually sure if you should anodise something that is all about the strength. Anodising does reduce strength significantly. Like, up to 50% on some alloys for high thickness coating.
