They create load affectively the same way, but because the wheel is gone, the power reading is not "At the wheels" but "At the hub" as it takes energy to get the tyres going which is then free when only measuring at the hub.

their figures to mods seem to stack up with the expected output on the xr6t forums and mph to mods always seems good. There are other tuners on there that seem to read higher with their roller dynos. So i'd say it seems pretty accurate but with any of these things I guess how you set them up has a lot to do with it.

I was under the impression that they are more accurate than rollers, Anyone ?

It cannot be denied that wheelspin or even just tyre compound is a variable, and as such hub dynos take a variable out of the tuning process which i think is a good thing.

I can also vouch for Jim Ghelis and also Tony there at Tunehouse.

The workshop is indeed spotless and their standard of customer service I've found to be very good after taking my R33 GTR there several times. They even stayed back very late to repair/replace a wishbone after a bolt had sheared off during a suspension upgrade and we had to do a trip to another workshop and back to get a spare part, before the car was used for a wedding the following day.

Since reading Sean's original post i've been taking my car there ever since. These guy's really pay attention to the little things and always do a good job. Jim knows his stuff on the dyno and shows with the tune on my car.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
