Event:
SAUQLD Dyno Day!

Description:
Its time for the 2013 dyno day, where we can check up on our cars the week before the drag day. The day will be held by Sean at EFI performance which has relocated to Southport, so this will also be a good time for us to get acquainted with their new shop. The day last year was a good event and hopefully we can make this year even better!

You will get 3 power runs on the dyno and a print out. Your entry fee will also cover a BBQ lunch and drinks!

Location:
Unit 3 / 30 Bailey Crescent,Southport.
Approximately a 50minute drive from the Brisbane CBD

Date:
Saturday 22nd of June 2013

Time:
From 8am to 1:30pm

Cost:
$55 for members, $65 for non members. Price includes 3 power runs on the dyno and a sausage sizzle and drinks.

Requirements:
Your car, obviously! It will have to be a 2WD car however. R33-34 GTR owners will need to drop their front drive-shafts out to run in RWD, R32 GTR owners can just pull the fuse.

A disclaimer: A dyno puts a lot more strain on your engine than regular street driving. Sean and his team have years of experience working with performance cars and whilst SAU QLD and EFI will take utmost care with your pride and joy, we do not accept any liability if something was to unfortunately go awry. If you have any concerns or questions about putting your car on the dyno, please contact one of the execs and we can refer them onto Sean at EFI.

So what are possible things that can go wrong and how can they be avoided?

Completely destroy motor, second coming of Christ you know the regular.

[Rant] My dyno figures will be lamer then a sick horse, screw you stall converter! :angry:

Either way a dyno is a tuning tool, it's all good to make 11ty killa what's but if your running 13.6 what's the point [/rant]

The main issue is that there is alot more resistance on the driveline than when normally driveing. Think of it as:

normal driving = you running along the road

Dyno pull = you running up a hill with a bungy strap attached to a tree at the bottom

Added strain makes things break easier, but just as in real life the chances that running up that hill will kill you are slim..... Now if Tony or Luke was running up that hill the chances may be different :rofl:

    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting
