Last weekend there seemed to be a general consensus from SAU people at the 4/6/Rotor Nats that a Dyno Day was in order.

And on my travels around OCAU (Overclockers Australia), who incidently have some rather active Motoring forums, I found this:

alrighty, for a Dyno Day, got the shops name from ozhonda.com.

I rang Grahams West Workshop, 668 Marion Rd Park Holme, he'll need 3-4 weeks notice, and get about 10 cars and over.

you get 3 runs:

2wd - $40 (fwd or rwd)  

4wd - $50

He said should be able to strap a bike on for a run if anyone is interested.

Would have to be on a Saturday morning start around 8.30am - 9.00am

So anyone interested, I can get approx 5 cars already.

UPDATE: New thread to seperate from the cruise here:

So who's interested in helping SAU take on OCAU and blow them away? :rofl:

Dyno DAY,

Out of interest to you and other SAU forum members the SVD club is holding another dyno day at TILBROOKS on sat the 7th of May.Cost is unkown to me at present(but going on the above prices and what we held last year it should work out cheaper) however i will keep you informed when the info is available.There will be a barbi and drinks available as well.

Regards,

SKYLINE(Kym)...

err maybe .... I don't mean to sound negative Ash, but we tend to be a bit snobby toward other 'clubs', as we are definitely not RA (Ricers Anonymous) like most other groups in Adelaide. We like to keep it 'in house', and consort with adults, but you never know, there may be some interest since we haven't had a dyno day in such a long time.

That's cool, I just want to get on the dyno in the next few weeks, and if I can save some money and be invloved in an event in the process, all the better!

I don't really think they're much of a ricer crew (someone was talking of slapping a Valiant on there!) but obviously I don't KNOW, my guess would be the biggest problem is a possible abundance of "grommies" hanging around, but in my experience you tend to get that at a lot of these events.

Interestingly enough, their last Cruise culminated in somebody rolling their parents' car! http://www.ratemyparking.net/vote.php?eid=31

It was all at quite low-speed and nobody got hurt thankfully.

I'm not sure if Willall would be interested in hosting a dyno day, but I would say that a combined LS1 and SAU dyno day would be a good thing... sure to have enough interest between the two camps.

That's understandable and why i mentioned it, but i doubt there's much chance of a roll-over on the dyno, LOL.

I agree, but I'm afraid it sets in my mind the "level" of punter such an event would attract.

True, true, well they're trying to get one going for 9th or 16th April and I'm happy to test the water with the OCAU Adelaide camp and report back.

But, if SAU / LS1 gets one going before then I'll pull out and head to that instead,

if they get one going after well I'll at least turn up to spectate if not run again! :)

    • I removed the head expecting to find broken and bent valves, but instead found number 1 at TDC and cylinder 2 at the top of its cylinder stroke as well, thought that was weird and proceeded to push cylinder 2 back down until it either bottomed out on its other piston half or the conrod either way we found the issue kind of,  now to remove the engine and see how the block looks, hopefully its just the top off a piston.  
    • A little more work this week.  Fitted astra power steering pump in the boot with a lowe fabrication bracket. Gave the pump a good clean, fitted Anderson plug and high pressure fitting. With the intercooler being flipped under rad support factory headlights weren't going to work. Ordered a set of origin battle lights, they arrived so got them test fitted. Will require some fiddling to fit nice but was an easy quick option for now. And today we pulled out the manual Rb gearbox and test fitted a ZF 8HP50. It will fit with some casting tabs cut off and small tap of the tunnel with a hammer. Pick up the adapter plate Wednesday so hopefully all bolted in Friday and measure for tailshaft which will be a 2 piece. Been doing a lot of ecu, pdm and tcu loom design so when comes to wiring it in a few weeks will all go smoothly.
    • FYP. Sadly. Even bolt cutters wouldn't take 2 sec. But in the days of 18v angle grinders, nothing is safe.
    • One piece driveshaft I would recommend a dual CV setup otherwise stick to OEM. I have heard most one piece driveshafts cause excess vibration otherwise. The transmission grind I'm quite familiar with. You can try shockproof gear oil, otherwise you need a new transmission. The shifter is extremely simple on these cars. If you want pull apart the assembly and replace the plastic bushing but I doubt that fixes anything. The tail light issue is very common, unfortunately new tail lights are long discontinued. The trunk antenna going up always is because your radio doesn't have a true power antenna control, just remote amp power signal. There is a blank switch plate that you can pop out and install a switch for this or alternatively source a head unit that has proper antenna control. Throttle body sticking you have to disambiguate by disconnecting the cable and seeing if the linkages are the problem or something else. There is a procedure to adjust them, refreshing them is also somewhat involved if that's the issue. I have dealt with many of these issues. Old cars really are fractals of problems. The more you fix the more you discover there is to fix.
