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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
