Recommended Posts

Supra v Skyline Dyno Day

Date: Sunday 10 July 2011

Time: 9:00 am

Location: Extreme Street Performance (ESP)

Address: Gilmore Road, Queanbeyan

Cost: $50 to be paid prior to the Dyno date. $60 for non Supra’s or Skyline’s and cars that would like a run on the day.

BBQ: All proceeds of the BBQ will be donated to a registered charity. I will start another thread to discuss the appropriate charity, basically majority rules...

Hi all

Here comes the 2nd Supra v Skyline dyno day. We have 30 spots to fill to make it a top day. We’re working on prizes and will publish them as soon as they have been locked in. Plenty of time to get some mods done if you choose to and payment prior to the day would be great.

Even though ACT Supra Club is no longer an incorporated entity, they still have a club account so please deposit your money to:

Account Name: ACT Supra Club Inc

BSB: 182-222

Account Number: 122885536

Please PM Ross over at supraforums.com.au or send him an email [email protected] with your payment description or PM Kat or Myself.

Here are the companies that have confirmed to us that they will be providing a prize(s):

• Naz from KMF will be awarding a $250 detail voucher for the most deserving participant car. http://www.kustommotorfinishes.com.au/

• Glen & Grant from ESP (Prize to be detailed). http://www.espracing.com.au/

• Mick & Trent. National Tyre Wholesalers Pty Ltd – Federal Tyres 6280 6109

• Thanks to MSCN Motorsport Mobile as they are sponsoring us for a $150 voucher to spend @ www.mscn.com.au

• Thanks to Dusty at MVP Motorsports for their $50 voucher to spend at www.mvpmotorsports.com

• Thanks to Aaron at Import Monster for their $100 voucher to spend at http://www.importmonster.com.au

• Thanks to Greg at GSL RallySport for voucher (tba) to www.gslrallysport.com

• Thanks to Shane at Gorilla Industries for their $50 voucher to www.gorillaindustries.com.au

For everyone that attended this event last year will remember that the day was not filled with just Skyline’s & Supra’s, obviously they will take precedent but if you know anyone that would be interested in attending then by all means please let them know, they will be eligible for prizes as well.

Now this is a fun day and if you don’t have a sense of humour then you might struggle with some of the rat bags around (that’s me and probably Kat with her silly t-shirt). Now we don’t need any unwanted attention by the boysngirls in blue so, please take it well away from ESP and watch out for gutters... :P

Hope to see you there, either participating or just down for a look.

Hi all

Instead of starting another thread, can anyone suggest some charities that we can send out BBQ proceeds to? So far I've received the following suggestions:

RSPCA

Red Cross - Japan

I would like to start a poll by the end of Monday and lock it in by the end of next week.

The prizes are still a work in progress and there will be a kw per litre prize.

Cheers

RP

Covering the day, showing the cars on the dyno.

Wouldn't need to be anything expensive or overly flash but I know for one I'd like better coverage of my car than the dodgy phone footage I got last year.

Prize update

MVP Motorsports are sponsoring us for a $50 voucher to spend on their website, go and check it out. One of the best automotive websites to purchase from in my opinion.

It might be worth sending an email to HPI magazine or the like as they will more than likely show up to cover it. its good local import content and i'm sure they'll be keen for it...

I can film the day, but there isn't much difference between video and photos. The cars don't really provide much action unless it screams or there is a fire.

Who done photos last time? I remember they were really good. I think there is a guy in the Supra club that does photos for EMG.

The idea for the video is to have a split screen.

Basically we need 2 stationary video camera's on tripods. Reason behind this is that the dyno screen for spectators is inside the shop and the dyno is outside and if we can get a split screen of the car on the roller plus the screen with the gragh, then it should give people a perspective as to what's going on.

This will only work if we can get someone that's willing to put the time in to merge the footage together.

I hope this makes sense.

    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info 
    • It looks like you've got Ikeya control arms and an aftermarket sway bar, maybe whiteline?  Or am I just going crazy? lol Unfortunately it won't, but what it will do is look really pretty. That's about all unfortunately.  How much neg camber do you currently have? Generally lowing the car dials in quite a bit of neg camber as it is. If you do go down this path, your best bet is get adjustable arms, toe arms (or preferably a good HICAS elimination kit) and traction rods. With all 3 being adjustable, you'll be able to dial out any bump steer that is introduced by playing with the camber settings.
