Was a good turnout, alot of nice cars.

Whats the deal with that dude with the bluebird wagon claiming his car was wheelspinning, and bagging shauns dyno opperating...?? check his web site at this link

www.srt910.com

check the graphs and make up your own decision, you can see at peak torque the power dips and is all wavy from then on, also the torque curve turns quickly depicting what wheel spin would to a dyno graph.

This in its self I have no problem with, if you car wheel spins on the dyno so be it, it spun, but the part i do have a problem with if for someone to turn around and tell me there is 100% no posibility,no change ever that it wheel spun, and that my previous runs are "reading high" because of a higher ramp rate used, when after i found out what ramp rate was used,his comment is completly untrue.

So that is my opinion, you have your opinion.

Bagging Shaun and his dyno (on the open internet) because your not happy with the result you got (on a dyno day where he is pressed for time) doiing his best getting everyones car on and off is bad form in my opinion....

Sky30's car did wheelspin (you could see it and hear it), which Shaun had to restrap it down cos it got a little off line from memory...

Shaun is not bothered who won or lost, he doesn't

own any of the cars, and any that were there are built to the

owners wishes,He is just doing his job . To think he is worried about

your car winning SR910 shows how modest you are :) ,

Bloody dyno queens :angry:

awesome day guys, thanks to everyone who put in their efforts. Just finished putting my footage to vcr, looks great but its not a digital camera so i can't post it up i'm afraid. Loved seeing sky30's car on there hoping that i can one day make that with my rb30.

Once the Rb30 is in my car i will definitely be taking the car to Shaun for everything dyno and otherwise related, very professional guy!

Good luck to everyone with their cars and keep modding so our next dyno day can be even bigger and better with more cars. I'm suggesting the end of summer once it cools down again but so that the weather is still nice like yesterday!

The dyno graph should show large dips if the car is wheelspinning bad during a run. It is also easly seen and heard, but realy dont care if your car was or wasnt wheelspinnig on the dyno, or what power it made(all cars were run on the same dyno, the same day, by the same opperator). Baggin out shaun on the Net aint a good thing to do.

So incidentily would it show smaller dips for less then "bad" wheel spin, consitering the losses were only in the region of 35+ kw? Just like it shows on the sheet.

I dont care if i "win or loose" a dyno comp, i dont care if my car wheel spins on a dyno, i do care about what a dyno operator says about integrity of the people i use to work on my car.

but that is ok, i didnt mention anything here, i didnt even mention the dyno operators name, your the one who brought it up here, i talk about my experiences and opinions on my website about my cars.

Have a nice day

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

my "opinion"

more like someone didn't want to face that another car using a engine only cost 1/3 to built with tons better off boost pull better result with the same turbo setup hence get upset :lol:

Good call on the yellow 33 there Chops, was a bit of a sleeper i thought, would be happy with those results out of mine :P

Yeh thanks Ash for your hospitality afterwards, would have come to Andrews but mate racing yesterday had to sort some Kart issues out, Next time for sure.

Good to see so many Skylines on saturday and catch up with a few people

Had to leave early due to other commitments, thanks to everyone who organized it and big thanks to Boostworx for the day and for all the stuff done on my car

Here's my chart, nice torque for a little 167,000km old RB20 :P

Need a bigger turbo!

Thanks heaps to Will and Boostworx for the day, and anyone else who helped :P

I would also like to thank the sympathetic comments that people made when they saw the key marks on my poor car.

That shit was f**ked up, i just don't know how these low-lives can act like that, just gets me angry thinking about it again.
Here's my sheet from the Crown.

Thanks for letting me join in boys, much appreciated.

Mate i would have been bloody disappointed if you HADN'T put it on the dyno, you can't tease us with 4.5L of donk and turbo as big as your head and not run it, and from the back seat the power delivery felt impressively smooth it just kept pulling. :D
What turbo does he run?

What boost?

ECU?

Injectors?

Cams?

I second this Sky30, keen to know the specs above especially the specs of the 35/40 u r running! Looked so tough watching the footage back on TV!

    • 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
    • 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!

    • 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.
