Dyno day - Baseline power runs
 

Hey all,

I am booked in on the 31st at Racepace to do a baseline dyno run. Let me know if you're interested within a week as I need to confirm numbers.

I know the guys there pretty well so we can get a good deal.

Who - All 370z
What - DynoDynamics baseline power pull with two printouts (Different gears, AF ratios, etc)
Where - Racepace in Bayswater
When - 31st October

Updated - Price - $60ea for four cars (Me, Ev, Bez, Speedy R34)

Chris said it's almost not worth his time for this price...Can anyone get a cheaper deal or get more cars involved?


Cheers,
Darren

198.1rwkw base and 212.4 with exhaust :p I won't do it again but I'll cone to watch :)

Ev, lets go for a cruise up over the mountain afterwards as Bayswater is at the base. Keen?

Hi would you mind if I tagged along?

Done! Dunno about dyno though. I'll just watch I think.

We gotta go the Resorvoir Run again!

Yeah no worries. All welcome. Where do you live?


Weak! I'm up for a Sugar loaf dam run again.

Hey what time is this on? I just realised that it's on a Saturday :(
What time is all this happenning?

Yeah I'm always keen lol Only thing though I hope my car is ready by then and on the road with a front bar lol otherwise I'm out... should be ok by then though....

Also I might do a dyno run, because when i did mine the engine was still tight and losing power, so it would be interesting to see if it gets any more out of it.... I'll think about it though..

I was waiting on numbers before locking in a time with the dyno guy. What would suit you?

Anytime. I'm gonna change my roster so I'll have the day off.

Also anyone with a stock manual wanna give my auto a run? I'm curious if what which is the quickest.. Lol.

I will :p

Me too!

Hey guys... I am back :) , I might come..., please confirm the time first... probably I can not make it if it's in the morning, have to open my shop first.

Also, I will do the dyno again..., just wanted to see if it makes any different after 2k+ km. :tup:

I thought u got your exhaust put in? You gotta
take me for a spin to hear if it's bearable if so!

I did lol, yeah i'll take you for a spin... it was loud for me at first but now im used to it and like it

Also welcome back bezz! it feels like its been ages lol how was the holiday?

Return of the Bezz! How was your trip? What did you bring us? :)


So we looking at three cars plus a mate of mine, four?

I'll book it in for the afternoon about 2pm if that suits everyone.

There's gotta be more people coming.. At least for the cruise.
Maybe start another thread for an official Melb cruise that day?

Were you interested in the dyno or just the cruise?


ALL - Please confirm if you are getting on the dyno.

See first post for updates.

Hey I think it might actually be best if you don't count me for the dyno, I may not have my car on the road by then dude, it's getting close and the parts haven't arrived yet, and i think they wanna do the matching next week which means the car will be out for the weekend :(

It's not for another week plus man!

I'm just for the cruise.

Yeah but my parts are arriving next week from Japan, then they have to take my bar off to assess, and then match the paint and spray the new ones.. so ill be without a front bar for about 4 days meaning it could go through that weekend...

Either way I'm coming, but i just might not have my car lol

ok this may be a dumb question but what can we achieve with a dyno besides knowing how the car perform? :)

Nothing else :) at this stage baselines just show the variances between the stock cars and what gains can be achieved in the future... It's always interesting to see who has the most powerful car from stock...

well mine at 2000km was 198.2rwkw (stock) then it went to 212.4rwkw so now I think it would be a little more now that the engine has freed up a little...

the stock figures for a run in engine should be a little higher say at 5000km or so...

Exactly what Ev said. It's just a before and after mods so you know how much you have gained, otherwise you'll never know.

Hey Ben are you in?

on a side note stillen is having a sale - the exhaust is now $1099 USD which is pretty good

With our AUD at 92cents that pretty good.

tks guys. Doesnt mod the car ie exhaust etc.. will void the nissan warranty?

If something fails it has to be a direct result from what you have modified and this needs to be proven, having an exhaust is almost impossible to cause any issues which would void the warranty on anything major. Air intakes on the other hand can be said to change the quality of the air being sucked into the engine causing engine failure... this is higly unlikely though, plus most aftermarket filters provide better filtration than stock....

But i mean in the end of the day, they could blame anything on anhything lol.. just keep the stock parts ;)

Is this still happening? If so what time? Derby day is on too, was gonna go there in the morning cos friends from Adelaide are down, then come meet u guy after.

and Ben? you still here? Or have you left and gone back to the lancer forums? Don't go there it's better here.... Lancers were the old days for you, time to move on buddy.... you had your fun, now it's 370z fun....

I'm still there!
Melbourne 370Z owners! How many of you can make it on the 31st for a dyno/meet/cruise?
Let's get some numbers down cause only a week to go...

I need at least four, or I will have to cancel it with the Dyno operator as he said it's not worth the time/money.

Roll call for dyno. Please update!

Me - 370z
Michael- R34 GT-T
Majestik - 370z
Bezzita - 370z - Can you come at 3pm after you close your shop?


370z Reasons - ???

Jekal - New GF, lost interest in the Z?

Ev - Thats cool, just come by at 4pm and we'll be ready for the cruise.

Usually I can go out after 1.30-2pm... after lunch rush hour... probably I'll be there 2.30pm the latest. I have enough staff to cover my shop until 6pm..., but I need to go back to Port Melb about this time. C u guys next week :tup:

Thanks for confirming.

This is now locked in with the dyno operator. He has requested cash only on the day so please bring your $60.

It's hard to estimate timeframes, but I would suggest turning up at 1:30 - 2pm. I have slotted Bezzita in last, so there is no rush for you with your shop commitments, etc

Factory 9 no.6
Hollway Drive, Bayswater


Cheers,

I vote for either brunch meet at The Pie in the Sky Olinda pre-Dyno or late lunch there post-dyno. Anyone else?

i MIGHT be able to make it earlier on for brunch if you were to do that!
