How many cars will actually be required for this to go ahead?

I'm sitting on the fence. The splinters are a bit painful but you get that.

I've recently had my car dyno'd at esp so not much of a surprise but hey would be nice to pwn some supras. Potentially.

C'mon people! Your fellow SAUer's have gone to a lot of trouble getting this event organised. Show some support for SAU ACT and enter the Dyno Day. Only a couple of years ago something like this would have been fully booked by now. It'd be real shame if this was too fall through, seeing as there will be heaps of prizes and that one of the import magazines will be covering it! Good chance to get a happy snap of your car in a magazine!

As far as I'm aware Performance imports will be covering the day as well. So it would be good if we could get the numbers for this like Frink said. If we don't get the numbers soon, we may need to cancel. Ask your friends etc.

Hi all

Just to let you know that there are 9 spots paid for, 6 Skyline's, 2 Supra's and a 10 second Corolla. There are 3 Supra owners (myself included) that are unsure as work is still being completed on the cars.

We are re-thinking sending money to the Red Cross as they have given me 2 days to send all the paperwork to them and they will not budge on this, so we might can this all together, but I will let you all know as soon as I can.

Keep spreading the word and continue with the trash talk... :P

Cheers

Ross

Probably not...

If anyone is thinking about this or is unsure because of work or whatever else, just pay up and reserve your spot. If the event is cancelled you'll get your money back (I assume?). If you pay up, then can't make it, perhaps you could make an arrangement with Ross so that you'd get your money back?

Are we opening this up to anyone now? If so, I will post it on the FPV & XR Owners Club ACT website if given the OK. Also, has this been put on NS.com? Or the WRX forums? Perhaps we should if we want to get this off the ground? Thoughts?

Yes a full refund will be available.

Feel free to post it up on other forums, but I might be able to get the local Canberra Celica Group to join us and we could change the day to Toyota v Nissan. If you have been to any local event in Canberra then you would have seen them around, top guys and they do an awesome barbie !!

Hi all

Just letting you know that the format for this day has changed slightly.

It will be more of a Toyota v Nissan dyno day, plus whatever else turns up. I have canned the charity idea as the Red Cross are being very unreasonable and I personally will not be donating any more of my time or money to them again. The Canberra Celica Group will be joining us and they will be running the BBQ.

With this in mind, to ensure your spot on the day, you must deposit $50 into the account on the front page. I will get a list up tomorrow of who has paid.

Cheers

Ross

Excuse my ignorance but Is it possible to drop an almost stock r34 GTT auto on the dyno ?

Stock GTR will still be in the paint shop :( and not yet run in either.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
