Good example of a launch/drag testing on a dyno is the one of the evo with anti-lag.. it's on youtube.. i'll see if I can dig it up

I believe they only have RWD dyno's though @ Drag Tag - is that correct?

State of the art, 4WD Dyno Dynamics units - 3 of :D

2/ What the? Absolutely no vested interest in it at all. I'm simply speaking from the perspective of someone that has done it numerous times and has more of an insight into the idea than someone guessing or theorising about what it's probably like.

The fact that the magazine you work for has hefty advertising of DragTag and that they "probably" made some arrangement where you get to have a few goes, in return for some magazine space and/or a good report on the experience is not at all creating a biased view? :D

Drag Tag haven't advertised in Extreme for many months. If it wasn't good fun and if it didn't have huge potential, I wouldn't say it did. Jase, when have you known me to bight my tongue if I thought something was a shit-house idea?

I got to have a few goes at the drag racing and circuit racing concept on a visit to Melbourne to cover a car show event and shoot a couple of cars for work. We neither reported on our experiences in the magazine or ran any advertising for them because of it. It's just a good thing to get in to, especially in a state as starved for racing as VIC.

Wheel angle sensing lasers point at the front wheels - just the same as the RWD or FWD setup.

But you cant really turn the wheels left/right when the front wheels are on the dyno rollers can you?

The brackets are only on the rear but believe me, it takes a seriously powered GTR to fry the fronts on the dyno in this situation. Your car has its own profile in the system before you race which incorporates the weight of the vehicle, the drag coefficient (based on the front windscreen angle) etc which all plays into the math for the simulation.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
