I have used it many times in America RN.

But most are not from Australia.

And most are of guys drivng there cars.

There are not many guys putting ther cars on youtube.

Everytime we do something large it should be on youtube.

In American they have run where you will find 500 to 1K cars from one manufacture.

And we should do the same because Australia is the largest importer of skyline from Japan.

People in the states are youtubing there dyno runs.

Lets show the world our dyno runs.

Dyno videos are quite boring - but ok. What about a youtube video of your car just going vid? :P

I'll do one when it goes on for its full tune, but here is one done while in the "working through bugs" stage... its venting externally as part of an elimination process to find out what the cause for wastegate creep I have been experiencing is. The conclusion is the wastegate hasn't been getting enough flow, as it still creeps and you can hear when the wastegate first opens that its not actually letting much gas by until the turbine actually starts getting a bit of pressure so have had to rework how the wastegate bypasses gas past the turbo. In the mean time it has been road tuned to make sure its running semi-ok and to trace how much creep it gets.

Anyway, clip of a couple of runs on our bit of test road.

Vrooom?

From the recent qld dyno day, courtesy of Col-GTSX:

I have one of my own dyno run that I could upload as well, but honestly, even watching my own cars dyno run is boring. My camera clips most of the sound out to begin with, then youtube just makes it worse. Not being able to hear just how loud these really are (or are not in the case of my car) is just sucky.

unless the cars either yours or someone you know, or the car is making 1000hp, there fairly boring to watch IMO

Even then its boring.

Unless your big power machine starts smoking up its tyres on the dyno, or blows its engine, or some other "wow" beastliness, a 1000hp run looks no different to a 200hp run. Oh look! The rear wheels are spinning on some rollers and its making a lot of noise!

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked... HTH
    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
