Hey Guys,

Does anyone know of any places in Brisbane that do 4WD dynos and don't want testicles as payment? I want to get an at the wheels measurement of the power from my GTS4 so I know what I'm working with/towards for upgrades. I see a couple of places charging by the hour, but would it really take an hour to just to measure the power?

I would prefer Brisbane, but don't mind an hour or so drive if it saves me enough money. They don't even have to be an "import" garage, even just anyone who does custom fourbies that has a dyno. I don't need any tuning or anything like that done, just a simple power check.

Thanks :)

Drop the drive shafts man and just get any normal dyno tuning house to do it. 4wd dyno's are an absolute rip. The read outs are the same as well. Confirmed this a couple of months ago when brandon got a dyno done. So fk 4wd dynos breh and save some money :)

No Idea on how much any of these charge, but these places all apparently have 4wd dynos. What you want is a "Power Run".

Matt Spry is probably the best tuner in brisbane, dont mess him around though make sure your car is 100% ready to run

Excellent, thanks to everyone for the suggestions! I wasn't aware that a rear wheel reading would be the same as an all wheels reading so that's a big help :ninja:

I thought over $100 and being charged by the hour seemed excessive. Now I know to ask for a power run. I have lots of phone calls to make now.

Thanks again for all your help everyone. Mods I have copied all these suggestions out, so you may feel free to close this thread if you need to.

Godzilla would be another recommendation.. in Tingalpa too.. he's now a sponsor on here so i would send him a PM and see what he says.. he installed and tuned my PFC originally so i also highly recommend him.. great bloke ... and you get to check out that sexxx of a 32GTR he's got...

oh, just a power run?

list your mods we can probably guess roughly what your pushing

Your guess is as good as mine on that one. This car keeps throwing out little treats every time the guys and I work on it. I was told it was completely stock, but that was BS. The latest puzzlement is the turbo, we have no idea what that is.

That's kind of why I want to run it and see what it puts out, to see just how unstock it is without pulling it apart.

if you take off the heat shield can you see the id tag? that would tell all

probs would make 170-180kw. what your aim?

bang for buck

- gtr inj

- fuel pump

- rb25 turbo

- dump / front

- intercooler

- nistune chipped ecu

stock ecu is limited around 200kw.

Edited by 32_Dave

yo

from what ive read over time im going to lock in an educated guess

i say 140-150kw as is (i havnt had a good look at your car in ages bro)

-exhaust

-pod

-fmic??

and then 170-185kw once all "bolt ons" are fitted and shes been tuned

-full 3" zorst

-pod

-fmic

-fuel pump

-rb25tubz

-dr drift (or ROM) ecu/nistune/emanage/adaptronic/etc

-ebc to 12-14psi

-gtr injectors

yeeeeww :P

let me know how it goes man! goodluck

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
