at last count the car was on sale for 90k, altho this was before the Nitrous was added... so we shall see...

Shan, The car was never on sale for 90k. A lot more than that has been spent on the car so figures are a bit blurry.

The car is for sale though and I have a number in my head which I'm asking for it.

If anyone is interested, drop me a PM and we can talk.

Here is the graph from MAS for ya.

Enjoy.

my bad dave, coulda sworn last year at autosaon you told sum1 you wanted 90k, but that was a good year ago lol... time to start doin up your euro no :D

You are absoulately spot on summoner,

For a national event of this magnitude, it's a piss weak effort to hire a dynolog, especially if the software is limited to 200kph.

Needless to say, big hp cars are big hp cars, it just make it harder to compare the results.

i think it's got more to do with which garage the organisers are good mates with rather than stict adherence to uniformity across the board. If Cabin were smart, they'd invest in a Dyno of their own (seeing that they do up to 7 shows a year not including semi's and finals). This would be ideal to take on tour with them.

Also quick question bout the Dyno Dynamics dynos... don't they need to be secured to the ground using underground bolts or something? Coz the one at MAS wasn't really secured to the gorund that well (and it couldn't have been because it was in the exhibition centre.

You and your .1 You do realise that for that 0.1 to mean anything you are talking about the dyno being accurate to less than 0.0167%!!!!!

:D:P;):) :)

That's what makes it so funny though!!! :rofl:

Emre! We are talking about car people here!!!

I mean every time I hear someone talk about an HR32 GT-R I want to stab them!

If that isn't being serious about a trivial detail then nothing is!

I am probably a bit too much of a tourist in this forum to pick up on in-jokes thought...

I think the most impressive thing about this car is for how long it has over 400rwkw!

Look at the meat in that graph - it's pretty easy to see that it isn't just a dyno queen!

Go Leewah - Go Fangartists! :D

matt

He heee...

Being serious about a dodgy dyno printout is a little contradictory, don't you think...? :P

I think everyone with half a brain figures out it's dodgy and just a joke within 10 seconds of seeing the dyno chart ;)

It's not meant to be serious, it's all in good fun :D

    • Come to Eastwood, you'll get plenty of that 🤣
    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.
