Righto, instead of cluttering up the old thread, ill make a new one.

Who would be interested in having another dyno day similair to the Skyline Vs Poopra day held nearly 2 years ago? I will chat to Kat seeing Richard kindly dobbed her in and see if she is willing to help organise it as she did a great job of the last one :)

Ill start a rough list of interest. I guess mainly skylines to start with and see how we go from there.

So to start with:

1 K_D

2 Sinista32 (your keen Richard, i know you are)

3 Manuel Kasko

4 Shuyin

5 Not a Pulsar

6 YLD-180 ACT

Maybes:

Anfanee

I'd be keen to lend a hand organising again.

Would also be up for a run on the rollers.

Although suggest scrap the whole skyline vs poopra thing and just open up to anyone who wants to enter. Last time when it came down to it I had a lot more different cars entered other than Skylines.

Dyno day is way different.

You bring what you have and be happy with what you get on your print out.

ESP have no issues with Nistuned vehicles on there Dyno. Every ECU named to man will be there on the day.

They just dont sell or tune them - thats there choice.

If the tuner doesn't like Nistune then they dont tune it and they miss out on our business.

Simple as that and I'm sure ESP is ok with that.

There is many a thread of people ragging on Haltech and how they beleive it is full of bugs and how Vipec or LinkG4 is better.

At one time everyone one was on how great WOLF3D was. Then a few years later how shit it is. WA had a big following and all the other states thought it was just another ECU.

We even got people buying new Power FC's - WTF ? but it does the job.

Autronic's getting a beating for the last few years too.

I ran a Motec in my R32 GTS-t, not many new what they were doing with that locally :(

Seriously - choose your tuner and let them choose your ECU or choose your ECU and find a Tuner happy to tune it.

Spose what I am saying is that if the Tuner doesn't like it, doesnt have the knowledge or software, or jsut beleives it is not good then we deal with it and go somewhere where the tuner does want to tune it.

Yes I agree it is pretty ruff and not good business to tell some one their ECU should be thrown in the bin. Nistunes do an awesome job.

However every tuner has a prefrence to work with and will promote it. It's what they know and trust that matters.

I'm sure you will find all the shops like a few and dont do them all :)

I'll make another video this time as well.

Should have a few more gadgets such as a tripod etc by the time this comes around.

Got footage yesterday grabbing a ray shark by the tail and holding onto it down the coast haha

Went snorkeling and spotted it while playing with the gopro

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
