Sorry for the noob question - but can anyone confirm if there will be a printout rather than just on screen display and explain the basic run through of the set up and whats involved? Have attended dyno days before as a spectator but never payed too much attention to the precautions, whats required of the car and what not....

Cheers

You rock up, make sure you're paid up, get a place on the list, make sure you line up ur car when it's meant to be dyno'ed, stand back and watch them rev. Get your print out (I've never seen a dyno day without print-outs, please confirm John), you look at your printout and go 'hey! xxx kw, not bad!' and then 1 week later you wonder what you can do for more power :cheers:

Hey Towlie,

Yes you will get a printout.

We do a quick check to make sure the car doesnt run lean then we do 2 power runs and give you a print of the power.

The print will display power, you AFR and Boost.

If you would like to know anything else just ask.

Regrads,

Cristian

Cristian,

RE the printouts - I've seen some with kW/AFR/Nm plotted against RPM and speed. Engine speed doesn't really mean too much to me (mechanical neophyte), whereas RPM does. And the last dyno I had was kW + AFR vs RPM. Ideally I'd like kW + Nm vs RPM. Car's stockish, so don't care about boost, feels like it's holding fine to redline. Is that a viable combo? :D

Cheers,

Ben

Ben,

That can be done but remind me as my memory will fail me by then

For me personally i think KW + AFR vs Boost is great for anyone wanting to see how safe there mixtures are and if it's over boosting. In saying that it is also cool to know how much torque your car is making and at what RPM your car is no longer making peak power, speed means nothing as far as i am concerned.

Cristian: Cool, I'll remind you.

I agree leech, but the only mod I've got is full exhaust/cat and it's been running healthy for the past 2 years (yes!: *yawn*), so chances of overboosting are pretty much zip :worship: More interested in torque this time. When I do my first proper mod (ECU in the next 6 months), then I'll wanna know AFRs again :D

that's a great sheet covers everything :ninja: stupid question but how does the dyno know what your tacho is reading. I understand the speed would be easy as the rollers will tell you that but yes bit lost on the rpm.

RPM is generally picked up from 3 different places depending on the type of car.

It will either come from:

A plug lead

Injector

-ve side of coil

For a skyline, will come from the injector easiest way.

Regards,

Cristian

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
