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

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:

    • I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
