Dyno Dynamics - Business Going Under?

[R31Nismoid]

Interesting thing i heard yesterday... doesn't sound good that's for sure

Thread on ns.com about the same thing, not a whole lot of info in there though.

lol there was almost no info in that thread ^.

but that last post pretty much sums it up, parent company went under, dyno dynamics is supposed to be doing well... but a few people got the arse? doesnt really make sense but thats the story that i've pulled from reading about it on other forums

[R31Nismoid]

lol good ole NS.com and the rubbish, never ceases to amuse

Same person that told me about it, also had a bit more interesting info...

It is believed it is due to the American arm sucking the cash up from the AUS/UK arms etc etc due to the US side highly underperforming, as a result - no cash left to go around and the Aussie arm has been bled dry.

That would sound fairly accurate to me given whats been going on in the world as DD items are probably the premier dyno here in aus, i can't think of many places with another brand over 100's of workshops/mechanics etc.

Would that also mean that there not trying to save it, just shutting up shop and selling off all assests to pay debts, sounds a bit odd if the above statements are true that the AUS section is performing well.

Great, bring on the disney land dynos

DD is a disney dyno

they are actually a pretty good dyno but they are definately not even close to the best. It will be a shame to see them fold, im sure they will most likely restructure and re-emerge.

dyno dynamics are by far the best marketed dyno is australia and is sales show it but if you have ever used any thing else you soon see the shortcomings when compared to the competition. Workshops tend to be sheep when buying dynos.

Ive used Mainline, dynamic test sytems, mustang and dynapack and purchased a dyno based on its abilities not the sales pitch and price... in fact i paid more for a lesser known dyno (in aus anyway).

I heard that in the UK a few weeks ago. Not good.

Found this official release from Dyno Dynamics http://www.dyno.com.au/dyno/controller/new...ticle?newsId=25, looks like they’re back in business! All good

yeah a mate of mine told me something similar. he just bought a dyno off them (ordered it either december last year or at the start of january) and was waiting for it. i happened to be talking to him about dyno dynamics being in trouble a few weeks back (mid jan) and he said that they would be back online in a week, which roughly coincides with the date of that press release. either way, he has his dyno now so he's happy.

I suppose you have good things to say about Mainline and DTS?

That's been my experience anyway

I've used mainline dynos and they are simple to operate with repeatable results. Dyno Dyanamics have the marketing and name, but I do not like their software and user control. I know that Dynocom, a US firm has been copying DD and Dynapack products and selling them at half of their retail price in the USA which could be why they are not doing so well. The owner of mustang dynos told me that dynocom is a copy cat dyno company that will copy anyones design to get leverage in the market,, but their engineering and software is not that great.

Trent, Can you share some info regarding the Dynapack dynos you have? What's it like compared to mainline and how involved is the setup for a tune compared to a bed chassis dyno that you just drive over? The Dynapack looks like to have at 15-30 mins worth of setup time?

I hope the shocking support Dyno Dynamics had has been addressed now, I would never buy another Dyno from the old crew.

cool

Takes me less time to setup than strapping down cars on the dd we used before.

Setup time is 5mins max.

Bear in mind the dynapack is dearer than both mainline and dynodynamics, so price up all your options first.

Me i personally could never go back to a roller style dyno regardless of the brand as none of them have any where near the control as a hub setup..... TBH only a person who has never used a hub dyno will have negative things to say.
