Southern Skylines Dunedin Dyno day - Fri, 12th Aug

[SkylineObsession]

Hey all. Decided a while back that Southern Skylines should try our hand at a dyno day, since Skylines Downunder hold a lot of successful ones.

Theres a bit of interest on the Facebook page so far, so will possibly be a case of first in first served on the night!

DATE: Friday, 12th August 2011

TIME: 6:00pm till 10:30pm or later

LOCATION: APET, 86 MacAndrew Rd, Dunedin (turn south from King Edward Street at the intersection where United Video is, and the shop is just after the first street on the right)

COST: $40 for Southern Skylines members, $50 everyone else (normally $80)

OTHER DETAILS:

- Nik and the boys are likely bringing

out for a wee blast (old video). Has to be bolted to the floor now!

- Might give out prizes for some cars if we can find some businesses to support this idea, unsure as for what categories though (highest hp, lowest hp, shiniest wheels etc etc?).

- Please behave yourselves on the night - especially since there is a Police station literally right across the road!

- Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=214530448588112

Hard to know how much advertising to do. Got a feeling we may be doing too much (gonna make a a flyer and print about ten off for around Dunedin) - but if thats the case we'll just have to have another dyno day a month or two later!

[Andrew NR]

Thanks for the warning Ray.

Water cooler should be good and there's no way my beastie would produce enough power to jump off.

All good now Ray, been to a couple last year and they had a fan every time.

And yeah, my GTS-4 broke the front straps and came off the dyno. Suffered a wee bit of damage but Nik fixed most of it. Suspension needs replacing anyway, so not too worried.

Here's the vid:

Turns out one or two of the straps were worn - he replaced them the next day and has since got much stronger ones since they have a 1,200hp+ R32 GT-R they are building. Which will hopefully be doing another run if they get the latest add ons done in time.

lol yup, could have fried an egg on my TMIC when i had mine on there a few years back. sounds wicked standing next to 8000rpm though

phwoar and lol it thinks its awd....... (some call me master

baiter)

[RAYDEO]

Each to their own

[SkylineObsession]

Doesn't think its AWD, it knows its 4WD. Only need the front wheels when things get interesting at the back.

Lol, The fan came with the dyno so it's ALWAYS had a fan and it's impossible for you to have seen more than 1 car try and come off the dyno. That's because it's only ever happened once and that was with Andrew's car. Lucky only 1 of the 4 straps broke so it still had 3 holding it on.

Andrew's organized a dyno day to help raise money for the SSE club. It's for anyone who wants to know how much power their car has. If you don't want to know then don't put your car on. Simple as that.

[B4 2000]

Apet, Raydeo meant that you don't have a proper fan for TMICs or the thingy you can deliver air to a TMICs.

and ive only seen Andrew's car came off/broke the strap and then i put my car on the same dyno.

Im looking forwards to this and i believe im putting my car for a read again.

Any prizes ???

Meh, I trust you guys, I'm putting my car on regardless.
