Condolences Dave, If you like you more than welcome to bring it up for an 'unofficial' run to reclaim your title, especialally now the dyno is accurately callibrated front and rear, identical callibration to all Auto Salon Dyno Comps post last elb salon.

For those who mentioned the dyno was reading too low, the dyno was professionally callibrated both mornings of the show, just because they made more somewhere else, on a different dyno, on a different day, with different temps, etc etc DOES NOT MEAN OUR DYNO IS WRONG. Perhaps these other dyno are reading too high?

If your dyno cant get stock Civic to make 200fwkw then it must be stuffed :wassup:

I tried to use my car as an example to highlight dyno inconsistencies

Thanks for the offer Sam but unless it's gonna be official, I don't really see the point. It's a real shame that I knew how much power my car was making on Friday night but she failed to perform on the day. Kinda like a Sally Robbins effor really....

The car will back on the road during the week when we can find some time inbetween customers to get the piping fabricated and a new radiator fitted.

Everything else is fine so nothing else needs to be done except turn the boost back down to streetable power.

Nigel also seemed pissed off with only 510rwkw. I thought he would have pulled closer to 600rwkw this time around

apologies Dave .. someone mentiond oil ..flames .. and on the vid .. i wasnt actually there ..not much to my knowledge was said about nos "backing up" on this post ..until after my remarks.. anyways... .. i just assumed it was something more .... although it wasnt really up in the revs at the time...

with your nos setup its basically on a ON OFF switch .. not like momentary or anything that u can physically hold down? and can i ask how many bar of boost do u run to make the big figures ?

anyways regardless of that ..tough car ..good to hear no other damage and congrats on the trophy...look forward to seeing it haul ass into the 9's .. and take back that autosalon crown (whoever buys it thats if u still sell it)

Later

Matt

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      By CRSKmD · Posted

      My 6 Point FIA harness have arrived (kinda). There was a mix up from the supplier and I ended up with 3" set rather than the 2" set. I contacted them and their customer service was top notch. It is being resolved and 2" ones will be on their way to be soon but in the mean time I was able to at least mock them up in the car to see the vibes. Need to organise some fixed back seats so i can actually use them as a 6 point. I am leaning towards the Velo Podium II XLs as I like the look of the bolstering compared to the GP90 XL or GPT2. The side and thigh bolstering on the GP90/GPT feels less that my existing Bride Digo R recliner. Velo Podium II XL Velo GP90 XL Velo GPT2

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      Recently did the Perth Festival of Speed - and basically what we thought might be an average event turned out to be absolutely awesome they bought Mad Mike and Xtreme over and was good to see Perth get, support and produce something so good - 24,000 people in two days      It was nice to have it close to home for once yet have my whole crew there to run the car properly     Xtreme got the tin top laps record with 51.57    I hadnt done a hot lap on the home track for 20 months and finally everything clicked and dropped 4 secs off PB and did a 53.29 which is 3rd fastest tin top ever around that track. only 1.3 tenths behind 2nd so should eat that up soon... can I get Xtremes time - its not out of the question   Alll the blaa blaa's in the world but if I can replicate even close to that situation on other tracks will be able to make an impact     We got asked to do the hill climb to put on a show which in reality is just using some chicanes and the short track at barbs but good fun... launch control was put in and won the Pro class in that also.     Car needs some attention after being on it around Australia for last few months moreso the carbon underbody work and just a run through and clean up everything else seems to have held up good enough. Would like ,to take some weight out but that requires alot of effort 😁   Also waiting on new rules for WTAC and have some decisions to be made there and prob some minor modifications to suit pending class changes. Will see...   Divided on whether to go hard for one more year or chill out re: events this coming year prob more on the go hard and see if I can get improvements in times. If I didnt have so travel so far it would be less of an issue but I do so hmmm...   Also because build thread - gone to flappy paddles and a gearing change with a drop gear. It was becoming apparent that there were situations where I really needed to be hanging onto the wheel with both hands yet had to change gears and was getting a little sketchy and / or I just didnt change gears and delt with it and also 5th gear at 10,000 rpm is 290 kmph so I havent been using 6th as did 282 at WTAC and 274 in Perth drop gear will change to 6th being 300 at 10,000 rpm should also get a touch more acceleration speed

      No, not really. Except that there are newer, better cam options that don't date back to the 90s. I was under the impression that you couldn't use VCT with them, which is why I said to get rid of them. If you can't/won't use VCT because of what you listed above, that's another matter. Although I would have said the wiring aspect of it was something that you should just suck up and do, as it isn't hard. Getting an actuator for the cam gear will possibly be expensive. I still say VCT is for the win. There's a reason HKS makes money selling it for 26s.

      Is there something wrong with using tomei?  I’ve heard the tomei usa are fake parts. Reason why I don’t want to make vct work is one gotta make a plug for the solenoid get the vct cam gear. I rather just use the stuff I already have. I made 450 on 17psi full boost at 4K. I’m satisfied with that it’s a street car and sometimes hit the track for drift. If I’m really wanting to decrease the lag I’ll go to a smaller rear housing as I have an extra or even cam gears.
