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.

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
