yeah, great work on organising Will!

Thanks too for Ash having some of us back for a bbq.

Then thanks for those that came to my place after that for some 8-ball and drinks tonight!

it's good turnout, I had a great day :)

haven't seen so many cars for ages

and it's good to meet a few new faces :wub:

thanks for Will about the dyno day

Ash & andrew for the BBQ and drinks

MS-75's car is TUFF!!!!!!!!! i want pic of his turbo!

Thanks Will for organising the Dyno day, also a big thanks to Shaun for setting up the Boost Controller on the Car. Was good to talk to a few new people out there and I'm looking forward to the next one.

I was happy to get no2 behind that monster 4.5ltr crown with the dinner plate sized turbo.

I'm thinking of selling the Engine package in the Car if anyone is interested you can PM me.

Thanks for organising it Will, and thanks to Shaun and Boostworks for their efforts.

Sorry I was a bit late-I was doing a few little jobs before the Horsepower show next weekend.

I'm pretty sure I saw Terry's R33 go 355 on the first run on higher boost and Chops went 229 late in the day.

If anyone got any video of my blue whale on the dyno I'd love to get a copy.

Cheers :rolleyes:

I was curious how Chops went once he ran in the v8 shootout mode.

I wonder whats up with these shootout modes, would the turbo's also read higher in the v8 shootout mode? or is the only difference the ramp rate to help prevent wheel spin when the turbo comes on.?!? :rolleyes:

I had a great time.

Very good turn out.

Interesting to note there are two distinct groups amongst the dyno figures for the skylines - lots in he 180-200rwkw region, then the jump to about 240+ for those that have upgraded turbos.

I would be interested in some more info about the yellow R33 owned by "Nathan". Looked to be a very good street type package making in the 240s and a nice spread of useable power.

Thanks to Will and the guys at Boostworx for the day.

Thanks to Ash for the BBQ festivities.

Thanks to Andrew for letting us raid his house (again), and his wife for the pies (no jokes required guys).

Thanks to everyone else for making mine a very enjoyable day.

Will post my graph for everyone later when I can be bothered getting it out of the car.

Made 229 when it went on last after everyone finished.

Ramp rates are the main differences I think.

I would be interested to see how all the cars ran in non-shootout, so the different types of cars could be compared on the same (even more level) playing field. I'm not sure if there are any possible dangers associated with this though.

As I mentioned on the day, I really don't care what the dyno says. I use one particular dyno to gauge what differences my mods have made.

Car runs 108mph at approx 1850kg with driver, so that's how much HP it has.

Well thats it.... 1/4 times don't lie.

Typing your numbers in to a 1/4 calc it states your uncorrected hp is 406hp.

From memory the LS1's loose roughly 61rwkw.

Thats 241rwkw. Close enough. :rolleyes:

was great to give my car a run for the first time, thanks for all the organising Will! look out for my massive 120rwkw ... RAWR! :rolleyes:

some damn impressive cars there!

Edited by GFXman

wow.. 120rwkw.. mine was making that by what.. 2500rpm.. heheh :D

Sky30, if you can pleeassse.. :rolleyes: Scan and post your dyno run.

I'm keen to overlay it with Bl4ck32's and Mine to see how that GT35R makes its power. :P

hey ghostdogg thanks for uploading extra photos. ill let yiou know once ur page is up. some awesome cars there.

sucked that i had to leave due to work. i got some good footage of vid i gota edit soon. itll only be bout 10min though. mostly dyno time

Edited by r31turbo

geez you must have left early Julian .... I got there about 12:30pm and you'd already gone.

FYI anyone that saw it the black smoke pouring out of my exhaust, it was fuel - the S15 is running mega-rich - hence the low power figure. My battery went flat while I was in the USA and reset all the oem computer specs putting my Unichip way out of whack.

I went to a dyno day and the car only made 285, after checking the graph it is clear to see at peak torque it started to wheel spin on the dyno and hence the lost power, also noticable from the sharp turn of the torque curve. Even so the dyno operator would not admit it was wheel spinning and said it must be the ramp rates used on my previous dyno runs, more like he didnt want certain cars he has built with 2 more cylinders and another litre of displacment with the same turbo to get upset.

Do you know how silly that sounds? LMAO!!!

hehe yeah we left at about 12ish as had made other plans

didn't know you were gonna be there you fcker, i would have hung around :)

yeah I wasn't 100% sure I was coming Joolz .... ah well will catch up at the bbq at Guy's house with any sort of luck. Bring Jaffa too - haven't caught up with him for ages.

my thanks go out to

Will -for organising the day

Shaun & boostworxs crew - for workshop & efforts for the day

Ash - for the BBQ at his place

Andrew - for the drinks & pool

was great to catch up with everyone and also meet some new people, i had a top day :)

    • had 4 weeks off over xmas and well did some stuff to the shed and BRZ, well short of is I don't work full time in supercars anymore as of yesterday.........
    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
