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.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
