3rd gear usually produces slightly less than 4th gear, say 2 to 3 kw. This is due to the more load on the engine in 4th and the slightly longer time to complete the run allowing the turbo to work a bit more.

We do a lot of NA holdens as well and with similar differences of 2 to 3 kw between gears.

Cheers,

its about the transfer (and loss) of torque through the gearbox. 4th 'gear' just directly connects the input and output shafts - basically no torque loss apart from internal friction from bearings and the constant mesh gears under no load. 3rd gear transfers the torque through 2 meshed helical gears to a lay-shaft then back to the output shaft by another set of meshed gears introducing side loads and higher meshing frictions of those gearsets under load, all of which means increased torque/drivetrain loss.

that's why you see the same results irrespective of wether they are turbo or NA.

Most operators put the intake temp sensor on the air filter. While I can understand where the fellow is coming from, but the pipe temperature that he is measuring can differ from the real intake temp. If everyone else is puting theirs on the air filter, then you have to ask who is the most correct?

so you're saying the dyno operator made an error?

he had the inlet temp sensor where i've indicated in the photo...he was telling me how not many dyno operators do that, but how it gives the most accurate readout!

It’s an inlet AIR temperature sensor, not an inlet PIPE temperature sensor. By putting the sensor there he is measuring the temperature of the pipe itself, which is most certainly not the temperature of the air inside the pipe.

This is why MOST dyno operators place the inlet air temperature in the inlet air steam. The best place being at the air filter inlet. That way it is measuring the actual temperature of the air going into the inlet system. Shoot Out mode is designed to give equal power readings no matter what the ambient temperature of the day is (which also affects the inlet air temperature) and the intercooler efficiency.

Which is what happens in the “real world”, the power output of the car changes depending on the temperature of the inlet air and the ambient temperature.

Personally I am not a big fan of inlet air temp correction, if I have a good heat shield and ambient air feed, I won’t to know how effective it is (ie; how much more power I get). I don’t want the dyno correcting for poor shielding and air feed.

:O cheers :D

Hi stealth,

Was this a 4WD Dyno or a 2WD Dyno.?

We have the challenge of running a GTS4 AWD RB20DET car on a Dyno shortly this week, but I'd like to know of some differences between the two as well as the selected gear for the run. Car is an automatic.

Seems a grey area to me about the whole procedure.

Cheers

sorry for the late response - used up all my internet download space...slow as

- dyno at Bris Turbo is 2wd I think the APC is 4wd

- car is manual

- ecu is Power FC

- speed limiter has been disabled

- turbo is GT35/40R int waste gate, std manafold HPC coated

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
