170kW [evil] Muuaaha ha ha ha haaa [/evil]

very pleased with that. stupid speedo is out though :S says 80 when the car is doing 86.

So thanks everyone for an awesome day.

My car bombed out because of a fuel problem, could only get 147rwkw before they backed it off coz it was running dangerously lean, so on the way home i ordered myself a walbro fuel pump.

95rwkw >:D

pooooor

but the object was to get a starting figure before i start my mods. Considering this dyno runs low, say what, 105-110?

Brilliant day out, saw some really really mean cars, and some just made my jaw drop in amazement.

Trying hard to bite my tongue here. All I will say is, how can you have a level playing field and get accurate figures when they were fiddling with ramp rates etc on almost every run for at least the first 12 cars, trying to get it right.....

At the end of the day not too bad at all glad to see Col take out the over 300rwkw challenge even with wheelspin still happening, Verry good day and well organised, awaiting results

That should get you by until you can put in a decent pump :D

On a separate not, appeared to well organised...everyone was friendly as usual.

One thing I would like to say, as Lazy has, how can the runs be accurate when the ramp speeds are constantly changed. I also noticed around 6 cars that wheel spinned on the rollers and 5 of them I know should be making more power than the result. Chris (Pear) made 156rwkw and had wheel spin. I mean, I know they could hear it...so why didn't they do something about it. Col made 280rwkw with wheelspin, Adam made 220rwkw with wheelspin but they only gave him the 210rwkw printout, Chris had wheelspin, Andy had wheelspin...

I've been around dynos for a number of years and the only car I have seen with wheelspin was a 600rwkw GTR in RWD mode.

Not saying dodgy, just saying they should have done a little more to make it better.

first up... nice job to the execs for pulling it off. they were organized and had most of the stuff down pat. dave was on the ball with who was running next and who needed to be ready.

secondly, all star tuning - what a joke.

they are the most unorganized workshop i've come across. the dyno should have been ready to roll and calibrated with the CORRECT settings well before we had the first car on. it is understandable that all dynos read differently - some high, some low. but consistency is the key, my figures were all over the shop some varying by up to +/- 20kw.

the staff are NOT helpful and quite vague in answering questions and most importantly were far from enthusiastic.

a good day from SAu, but a thumbs down for all star. i have felt that my time and money were wasted by an unprofessional workshop.

i certainly hope we can include a well reputable 4wd dyno in future to accomodate the 33 and 34 gtr drivers without dropping the front shafts, and not favor a workshop whom some of us have had work done at.

congratulations to the others. it was good to catch up with a few old faces and a few new ones too!

All results and pictures and video is being worked on atm...

In the mean time ill move these posts to the new dyno day discussion thread in the general qld section...

But before closing this thread, a big thanks to everyone for coming along.

Huge thanks to the sau exec crew for the bbq and handling all the payments and the like.

Huge thanks to Richard and the Allstar crew for hosting an awsome day.

Thank you all.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
