hey Erin

how do i join SAU QLD club???

this will be my first dyno day...any tips (like is it wise to have fresh tyres..?)

i am 99% sure ill attend (pending reply to my questions)

Different people have different ways of preparing for a dyno, but I normally just turn up. I make sure my car has not long ago been serviced and is in good running order.

In regards to tyres, you don't need to have brand new tyres, but the tyres can't be bald either. They need to have some meat on the so they can grip the dyno.

Hi Have you guys thought about asking Mercury to invite a couple of other clubs?

Mercury have some close relationships with a few clubs, and I'm sure you could get closer to 30 if you invited some others directly.

ie rexnet, redline, ozhonda, clubvr4 etc etc

Its a bit too far for me, but I might be up for it.

I'll confirm a spot with you guys if you like in a week or so... ?

thanks

Michael

:P

As Will just mentioned, it doesn't matter how much power your cars got, it's just a fun day out and you get to see how much power your car makes.

But when/if the Hardcore/other high HP cars start turning up, they will try and make it a dyno comp, but it's not in the least a comp, it's just a fun social gathering with a hint of cars thrown in :D

yer ill pm you. nar it will be gud cause i dont really know any other ppl with skylines yet

i been tuned on a dyno but never been to a dyno day. well i aint had me car for long either lol.

chance for me to meet some other local skyliners

be there...

Ok.. Im coming but wont be running...

As of about 4 hours ago i have added another engine to the junk pile. Cracked the head (very large crack too) cold air said hello to very hot piston. Very hot piston said i want out of here. Oil and fuel and water everywhere and small fire finished off the rest. Ive had enough with this old rb20 im going to junk it as there is nothing good on it and stick to my r33 from now on. Thats right people, im quiting cold the sphincter of the universe the GTS-X is going. Cry :rofl:

    • Also, a tip for young players  Check the dates on new tyres before they fit them, I always ask this question at the tyre shop, as they have tried to put "new" tyres on one of my cars a few years ago, but the build date was about 3 years old
    • Yeah - 4 or 5 years is the limit for decent tyres. Pedestrian grade tyres with 400 TW ratings start out hard and don't start to suffer until they are somewhat older again. But the stickier decent stuff? Nup. My current ADO9s are < 2 yrs old, 17000km in, only have about the minimum 2mm of tread depth left, and they are.....not what they used to be. They are clearly much harder now than when new. Whether that is heat cycles (unlikely, for a road tyre), different compound between top and bottom of tread, or actually aging out (in less than 2 years!!!) is not really able to be discerned. But I'd credit actual aging as being at least part of the cause. I've got an old pair of ~50% worn AD08Rs in the shed that I really need to get rid of. They started feeling waaaay too hard to put back on the car after a couple of years sitting there.
    • Personally I wouldn't put tyres over 4 or 5 years old on any of my own cars. Once they go hard the grip characteristics completely change. As per most things it only matters in an accident and that's when you most want them to do their job!
    • I'm replacing the front tyres on the E39 tomorrow because one of them has a few gouges out of it. There is so much tread still on them but they're also 9 years old and the rubber is super hard.  This falls within the guidelines of 10 years old that I've read which surprises me given their condition.  I'm curious about whether you guys care about tyre age or just judge the tyre based on condition? How old would you consider too old?
    • What starts as a scratch, becomes a flesh wound, then quadruple amputation. Jus' sayin'. Crush resistant gloves (The ones with the rubber strips down the back of the hand and fingers) might not be a bad idea after all!
