Dyno Day - Saturday November 17th

[MrOrange]

Hi Guys,

Jocelyn has organised a Dyno day for us out at XSpeed in O'Connor.

This is a 4WD Dyno Dynamics roller dyno, so there's no prejudice to our GTiR owners :)

The dyno day will run from 10am to 1pm on Saturday 17th November so places are limited, we can only accept a maximum of 20 cars.

The costs are;
$45 - 2WD
$85 - 4WD

NOTE: When paying, please use your forum name as the description so that I can track your payment

If you've never had a dyno run before I highly recommend it as a bit of a baseline. You'll also be able to see some valuable information regarding your AFR which may highlight a problem you didn't know you had (especially for you turbo boys).

Because places are limited to 20 cars you will need to pay for your spot in full to secure your spot. Please PM me for payment instructions and whether you want a 2WD or 4WD run. If we cannot make the numbers with PPGA we will be inviting other external cars to attend.

First in first served everyone! Any questions, feel free to ask.

See you there!

[Drif10_N15]

im in!

[LTLMISSS]

Thanks for starting the thread!! :roll:

Im in!!!

[EXAHatch]

Hi im a new member i have modified my n13 by installing a 2.0L in place of the standard 1.8L i would like to put it on the dyno just to see where i stand horsepower wise and to make sure everything is running correctly how do i go about booking a place in this event and how do i pay? any advice would be great thanks

[Lonewolf]

would like to come, but too far away for me to confirm if im available or not.
i know its nice to give notice, but 3 months...jeebus!

[ozan]

ooooo i been waiting for this for a long time! haha

is it kool if i bring my s14 along? should be good to have a reading of where im at, can also organise prepayment :)

should be on the road by november easy :)

[MrOrange]

i know its nice to give notice, but 3 months...jeebus!

Mate we can't win lol. Amongst other reasons, it gives people time to recover from dwellingup, do some extra mods to their car if they want, save up the money for the dyno run (alot of students around here) etc etc.

If you pencil in the dyno day for 17th of Nov you'll then know to decline any other appointments that arise between now and then.

Of course it's up to you, you're welcome to confirm anytime between now and then, so long as we don't reach our pre-paid maximum amount of cars. I'll update the thread as each person pays so if it's getting down to the wire you'll know when to jump on board.

Cheers,

[keepitreal07]

EXAHatch (http://forum.pulsar.org.au/member.php?u=7304) - PM James (MrOrange) and he will give you bank details to deposit the money to.

Ozan - NO YOU MAY NOT. No dirty S14's allowed. Too heavy for the dyno.

[ozan]

hehe ur just scared of the competition u baby :P

[SSSeeker]

*ups boost just a tad*

It's on!

[SSShonky]

$85 for AWD !!!! that sucks :(

might stick the whale on and see what it does.

[EXAHatch]

hey if its free for all can i bring my ss down

[vipulsr]

ewwwww *vomits* im sorry but at a pulsar thing...

[SSShonky]

so my stagea is not welcome ? cry sob..

[MrOrange]

We haven't said it's 'pulsars' only. Pulsar members only at this stage.

I think it's obvious we would want majority of pulsars. If you own a pulsar/nx/exa I would expect it to go on the dyno instead of any other cars you own. If you don't own a pulsar, but still a member then I cant see a problem putting your car on (Oz, Sean).

TBH we haven't specifically discussed this though, but I think by applying common sense you would arrive at the same conclusion I have.

Cheers,

[SSShonky]

yeah .. I know .. I was just being silly.
though not sure at this stage.. seems you have to do a bit of screwing around disconnecting sensors etc in order to dyno an auto correctly

[N14_Oz_Spec]

I'll be in. Be nice to know if there's more than 50 horses under the bonnet :gay:

[SSSeeker]

hey if its free for all can i bring my ss down

Yes, to prove that a turbo pulsar has more power than an SS ;)

[MrOrange]

yeah .. I know .. I was just being silly.


hah, wasn't directed at you Sean, it was just a general FYI.

Dont auto's have a button that'll let you hold a gear?

[dusan]

hey guys count me in :thumbsup:

[UNEEQ]

Pretty sure I'll be in, just for shits and giggles... See what the QG Auto can pull!

[MrOrange]

If you want to be 'in' please PM me for payment details. Until you've paid your spot is not reserved, sorry!

[EXAHatch]

fair call i mean i cant embarrass the v8 scene taking my 253 up against pulsars only to be shot down ill stick to the awesome N/A 2.0L N13 ill save the ss motorvation when its got more to show for

[EXAHatch]

turbos are nice but id rather be blown so therefore im looking to fit an mr2 supercharger to the n13 in place of the aircon pump for shits and giggles to see what it can do honestly its just research

[SSSeeker]

hah, wasn't directed at you Sean, it was just a general FYI.

Dont auto's have a button that'll let you hold a gear?

"P/Shift" will prevent the car from going into the last gear

EXAhatch = less say, more do !

[keepitreal07]

un fortunitly i prob wont be able to make it...work....i cant win :(

[SSSeeker]

I cant make it but will probably get Gaz or a friend to drive the car

3 months isnt enough for you? ?!

[maat]

im in! ill bring the micra down and see what she makes in shootout mode :D

[keepitreal07]

3 months for me sean.....na bad time.....between oct to december is the most busy time at work

[clegga]

$85 for AWD !!!! that sucks :(

might stick the whale on and see what it does.

Apparently the upgrade from 2wd to 4wd costs as much as the original 2wd dyno.....

Mine was on that dyno today, discovered I'm running lean so its well worth it!

[MrOrange]

I cant make it but will probably get Gaz or a friend to drive the car

3 months isnt enough for you? ?!

errr, got hypocrite? At least do it in seperate posts

You can't beat on someone for passing for the exact same reason as you! :thwap:

I've had about 10 people get my payment details so far. Only 1 payment come through so far, when I receive payments i'll update your official spot in the first post. Thanks guys & girls!

I dont want to take the day off work though, thats the thing ;)

Working or not, PULSSSE will be there spitting fuel at innocent bystanders

According to my shift pattern I'm off that day, so it's all good from here.

[EXAHatch]

money is always a factor but is it worht me the bother to supercharge a jd20 n13 engine i just dont wanna follow the leader and convert to ca18 or sr20 like all other n13 owners no offense guys

[coopSSS]

just out of interest if i were to bring my pulsar down what is the chances of getting a tune at the same time cause mine is running rich as at the moment and i want to get it tuned before doing any major engine work. also by then stereo and rims will be in i'll post pics of stereo in the car audio section by the end of the week its going in in the next two days.

[MrOrange]

No tuning is done on the dyno day. Only power runs.

You'll get an AFR printout which is all you can really get from a dyno on a standard computer anyway.

[raddavey]

Tia is interested in putting her car on. I might too depending if it gets a tune by then.

[Nissmo]

Ooo yay.
I'll put my car in. I'll try get my payment over asap Joc. :)

Tim.

[SSSeeker]

Yay, someones that mentioned that they're going to PAY!

About 6 people interested in this month - if it looks like this in 1 month's time I'll be inviting mixed clubs in for peace of mind (all payments on time)

Cheers

What is the point of tuning before doing more mods???
Tune it now for current setup but as soon as you change something it will need to be retuned... LOL

[JelloBello]

I'm in :D

...Providing you don't mind that I drive an import u13 bluebird? :)

[Lonewolf]

like i said, if it comes closer to the time, and i'm available ill sign up

[maat]

im in and have paid i think james needs to update the list, so there may be a fair few more people than you think... or i may be wrong..

[SSSeeker]

Hell yes. I want to perve at this thing.

[MrOrange]

yep - you're right. Seems we lost a couple of pm's / thread updates.

There's only 4 people paid so far. Alot of people saying they're in but not PM'ing me for payment information.

I'll update thread tonight when I get home and have access to the payment records.

Cheers guys,

[maat]

[MrOrange]

Hey Guys - Thanks for bringing to my attention we lost some data. Apparently a couple of PM's went missing. Anyway, I've updated the first post to include people who i've actually received money from and those that have requested it but haven't paid yet.

For everyone else saying "IN" please send me a PM and i'll send you back the bank details.

It's still early days yet, keep the payments coming :)

Cheers,

[LTLMISSS]

Thankyou to all who have paid.

After the 26th October we will be inviting other clubs to join us in our DYNO DAY.

You have not secured a spot until payment has been received.
It is going to be a great day cant wait to see you all there.

[MrOrange]

Hi Everyone,

Someone has transfered me a sum of money with description of only 'Dyno payments'.

The amount does not add up to any possible combination of 2WD or 4WD payments.

If you have sent money to me on or about the 19th of October please PM me ASAP. Include the amount which was sent in the PM so that I know you are the rightful owner.

Cheers,

[dusan]

[PULSSSE]

hello all

The deadline for payments is this friday (the 9th Nov).
we need payment before then to book the place out so if you want to dyno your car please make payment to James Nowill aka MrOrange before this friday

Cheers

[N14_Oz_Spec]

So how it planned - whoever turns up first goes first? Trying to figure out if there's time to get my rattling muffler (not a euphemism) replaced beforehand...

[PULSSSE]

So how it planned - whoever turns up first goes first? Trying to figure out if there's time to get my rattling muffler (not a euphemism) replaced beforehand...

im guessing that if your there by 11.30-12.00 you sould be good to go

[N14_Oz_Spec]

The muffler replacement (hoping its not the cat converter) wouldn't take long anyway so i can be there for 10-ish, unless it's organised in a specific order.

[PULSSSE]

nope no specific order afaik.... come along buddy!

[MrOrange]

Generally the dyno operator will determine what order the cars run. They may like to do 4wd first for example as it will require changes to the dyno.

That's about it though, other than that you just go with the flow :) Everyone will get a turn.

[JelloBello]

Am I the only AWD'er so far? :D

[SSShonky]

I was going to bring the stagea down .. but prob not at this stage.


Am I the only AWD'er so far? :D

[coopSSS]

[Drif10_N15]

hey guys/girls...
got some bad news... as stated in the thread somewhere we needed to have 20 confirmed and paid cars.. we only have 12 :( unless we can get another 8 by tommorrow the dyno day will have to be canceled...
if we cant get the cars the PPGA comittee will organise getting you all refunds out asap!
sorry guys...
we HAD strong support at the beggining of the thread...

[maat]

COME ON PEOPLE jeeeeeezuuus fark

[vipulsr]

i thought you were opening to other clubs also if ppga couldnt cut it? and still not enough no.s?.... hmmm

[Lonewolf]

thats what i thought, if we had more time i could have put the word out and probably had filled the spots.
*sigh*

[LTLMISSS]

We have been asking around I have invited three other forums an still no luck we just don’t have the support! I have tried but there is only so much we can do if we don’t have the cars then its not going ahead!!

It is a shame I put a lot of effort in to this and am annoyed as all of you but we gave three months notice and I have been trying other forums for a month but still we cant get 20 cars.

It is not affordable for X-speed to open if there is not 20 cars!! I even tried to change venues but no luck!!

What more can I do I tried!!!

Sorry
Jocelyn
LTLMISSS

[vipulsr]

No need to be sorry i say, you tried gave it good effort, but you cant do much if people wont make the effort on their behalf. Sorry it didnt work out

[N14_Oz_Spec]

Awww dammit!

Hey you gave it your best shot, couldn't do any more. Thanks very much for trying anyway - i think you need to be compensated for you effort. How about keep my money and buy yourself a carton or bottle or whatever takes your fancy?

:thumbsup:

[LTLMISSS]

Thank you very much for offering but you can have your money back!! I am flattered :roll:!! I dont mind spending the time organising things as long as people turn up!!

We have many ideas but if we cant even get enough people to a Dyno Day then i dont think that anything else will happen.


Awww dammit!

[Lonewolf]

to be honest, it could have been planned better.
If a request had been put out a little earlier that you needed us to find people from other clubs, im sure we could have gotten the numbers (i know of 3-4 myself that were after a run.

Very difficult to do so, particularly with some slow/apathetic members, so kudos for putting the effort in :)

[SSSeeker]

If you want to squeeze that last bit of effort in, if you let me pay on the day I'll rock up with a friend too !

I have been talking to X-speed and they were going to do it with the cars we had but the then turned around and said no!!!
You knew that we were inviting other club and you friends were more than welcome to come all you had to do was ask!!!! If you knew the wanted a run then you should have suggested it to them they are not my friends!!!

If you want to squeeze that last bit of effort in, if you let me pay on the day I'll rock up with a friend too !

It needs to be paid in full now not on the day Sorry!!!!

[vipulsr]

Yer getting people to pay before attendance would be a challenge in itself, ah well maybe try again sometime early next year??

[EXAHatch]

well i tried i got two mates, tried to get a mate to bring skyline and another to bring celica turbo but skyline needs new ecu and celica has a blown turbo so they werent in still even so 14 isnt 20 so that still sucks was looking forward to it had my car all running and ready oh well like all have said joyce thanks for trying and it was organised well enough people just dont make enough effort questions were asked in the begining about inviting friends and it was a possibility from the begining

[LTLMISSS]

Thanks 4 actually asking your friends that were interested in a Dyno Run i will organise refunds for you guys!!!

and what is the point of having a ppga dyno day if there is 6 pulsars and 18 non pulsars..... means it not really a ppga dyno day really is it????

[maat]

spewing, i quit my bullshit job about a month ago and was looking forward to not having to work such long hours so i could make it to more PGA events.. then this came up and i was stoked, i wanted to show off my micra :p guess il just have to be patient..

your efforts are appreciated ltlmisss

[Lonewolf]

and what is the point of having a ppga dyno day if there is 6 pulsars and 18 non pulsars..... means it not really a ppga dyno day really is it????

why have ppga events running at all then?
6 cars to cruise, less than 12 to a dyno day.

It would have just been a good day to have any pulsars turn up to chat with and compare, and a bit of variety adds some spice.
I helped run the PPCC/PGA dyno day last time and it went really well.

[MrOrange]

why have ppga events running at all then?

Well, in the past people were willing to put the effort in because they were encouraged by the turnout of people willing to attend.

Dwellingup numbers were down, cruise numbers are down, dyno day too many empty promises.

PPGA has changed, a different group of users that aren't as social as this great group once was.

Thanks to Jocelyn for organising, your efforts are much appreciated here. I will be contacting all those who paid me for refunds.
