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:

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!!!

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️

      Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By Duncan · Posted

      I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
