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

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.

509DA Notice Under S.446a of Special Resolution to Wind Up Company

Resolved That Company Be Wound Up Under 439c©

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 :D

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).

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?

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.

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
