Ummm its a 26 dude......

So how did this thing go in Autosalon?

3 words

semis+dyno=fail.

customer left his semis on and it would not ride the rollers.... only spin....i was not there on sat to tell him to swap on some hard shitty tyres but offered to be there on sunday to tune it to suit the ramp rate only to be told not enough time.. very dissapointing.

Due to the ramp they were using most cars were off but those who took the time to quickly tune to the ramp rate did well.. darrens supra pulled well over 1100hp on sunday (to take out top spot, then they put the GAS car back on to beat it.... ) but pulled 700hp the day before... dwayne from hi-torque did a stellar job to bring it up to suit the dyno conditions.... if only we had a chance to do the same, im sure we would have pulled mid 900's based on sats results.

EPIC FAIL

these were the only words required.

I knew the car wouldn't run the numbers in real world testing under competition conditions.

Having seen what drag radials do on dyno rollers, I'd be kicking the owner in the arse for not swapping them for something hard and shitty.

X2. I couldnt crack 350 hp on semis then spun it out to over 500 with some hard streeters.

were people cleaning the rubber from their faces?

I remember watching the mighty BU5TER on the rollers at Powercruise at ECR and they turned to mush and sprayed everyone with melted rubber. It was spectacular but not great for big numbers.

LOL dont hold back paul, tell us what u really think

hehe... :)

Hey i call it like it is...it upsets people and rubs them up the wrong way on occasions but thats their problem.

He had his chance to prove all the naysayers wrong...and with all eyes on him he was foolish to not ensure the car was up to it.

I may have been too generous with my 800hp prediction. :(

Amatuers at their best. All that time effort and money for a dismal result. Oh well better luck next time.

And maybe Autosalon should notify all competitors on what ramp rate they're going to use so everyone can tune their car accordingly. What a load of crap. Take it to the track where the true results are revealed.

465.3 KW/624 HP :/

yeah something like that, same as the supra on saturday (bout 300rwkw short and 650-700hp on sat, then retuned on sunday pulled 1200hp).... all in the dyno operator.... it would have been easy to pull the right numbers with a bit of tuning to suit the way they were running....

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
