um.... NO..

i went to that site and it is only for people wishing to buy dyno's... and you cant even access the FAQ's

wouldnt it be easier just to tel us what it means .... rather than starting a f*kkin wild goose chase for answers......

so what does it mean... www.dynodynamics.com.au... DOES NOT GIVE US THE ANSWER...

Unquestionable results

Controlled conditions

Controlled ramp rates

Controlled drive-train inertia

Controlled drive-train loss

My bad They changed there site

yes non shootout mode vs shootout mode is likely to give different results.

shootout mode basically takes the results and runs it through a weather simulator template to round it all to a nice even playing field.

then if you dyno your car in tas on a winter morning and apply the shootout mode settings and dyno your car in sydney on a hot day and apply the shootout mode settings you get the same power reading

AS paulr33 says, if you dyno your car in January at 2pm on a scorcing hot day in Darwin, it certainly will increase the power reading.

But if you do it in August at midnight in Hobart where it is well below freezing the power reading will be reduced from what it really is.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

Shoot Out mode was designed by DD so that valid comparisons could be made between cars in Darwin and cars in Hobart and cars in summer versus cars in winter.

We have a climate controlled room with the dyno in it. If you drive the car outside and it's hotter than inside, the car will make less power than it did on the dyno. Conversely if you drive the car outside and it's colder than inside, the car will make more power than it did on the dyno.

What's the difference between that and Shoot Out mode?

:) cheers :domokun:

PS; Shoot Out mode also locks out some of the fiddles that dyno operators used to get up to. There are still some left though.

Said fiddles were the cause of a poo-brown VW beetle making 275rwkw at a particular workshop's dyno day :)

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      Did you panel beat the dents or have you tried to repair this only using filler?  Is your sanding block soft/flexible and is following the shape of the panel rather then just knocking down the high points?

      I haven't knocked them down yet. I think I made the repair more complex than it should have been. I had rock chips combined with waviness and dents and I tackled it all in one because it was near each other and just end up wasting a bunch of bog lol. I'll knock down those areas and see how I go. And yep what you are saying at the end is correct. I think I might be sanding the top of a steep hill then my sanding block falls into the dent and gets rid of the guidecoat if that makes sense. Though shouldnt unless I'm covering too big of an area with not a long enough block. I'll try something new and provide some updates. Getting there though! Thanks as always.

      Yeah makes sense, hard to comment on your situation without seeing what your doing. I was talking generally before, I would not be looking to randomly create low spots with a hammer to then have to fill them.  It's hard without seeing what your doing, it sounds like you are using the guide coat to identify low spots, as you're saying the panel is still wavy. I don't see how you're not ending up with patches of guide coat remaining in a wavy panel? Once the high spots are knocked down to the correct level, surely to have a wavy panel you need low spots. And those low spots would have guide coat still in them?

      So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
