take out or disconnect the front dif =P then u can go to any dyno

Not keen to go playin around with pulling fuses to stop front diff from activating but. If it is in 2WD mode, wont that give in acurate HP figures?

drop the front drive shaft . its 4 bolts

who gives a f**k about hp figures . do you want it tuned or are you just tryin to have a higher hp than someone else

I give a F**K about HP figure! I want it tuned, boosted AND to know exactley what its got at 4 wheels.

I dont need to know if its got a higher HP than anyone else. I already know I have a bigger cock than most blokes so dont need braggin rights about big HP to compensate...

well you won't know EXACTLY what HP it has at all 4 as every dyno will give different readings, so you will only know roughly how much power it has.

running on 2wd for a tune will be fine.

going to ask the obvious, but you have an aftermarket ecu yeah? if not, then tuning won't do shit (as the stock ecu can't be tuned without some type of piggyback system, etc), and any dyno place should be able to wind the boost up for you and do a power run to see what it gets.

I would be almost cetain it has an after market ECU. There aint much that is stock standard on this car. How would i check the ECU to know its aftermarket?

Also doesnt ANYONE on here know of an AWD dyno that they can reccomend?

pull off the kick panel on the passenger side and look at the ecu. if it has a nissan sticker on it then it is more than likely still stock and isn't a nistune or anything like that. to tell that for sure though you have to open it up. if it is a full aftermarket ecu it will have the brand name on it.

Ok. I have had a look at it and it appears that it is a Mines ECU with its own Id Number stamped onto a gold plaque. So can this ECU be tweeked whilst the car is on a Dyno?

So, seeing as no one has answered the question of where is the best place to get an AWD car dyno'd... Does that mean the NO-ONE on this fine forum has ever had thier GTR dyno'd before? If I find a mob that does it and end up gettin it done, then i will be sure to share it with you :P:):)

I'm pretty sure erina ultratune has an AWD mainline dyno. Its on the coast but still a better option than driving all the way to sydney.

Thanks mate! I checked their website out. Looks like its exactly the place that I am after.

plenty of people have had their GTR on a dyno, but it was no point me telling you any of the places i know of since i'm in QLD. there are a lot of people who would be too lazy to post up. there would also be quite a few who just take them to workshops with rwd dynos, because at the end of the dyno the dyno is simply a tuning tool and you may make 300hp on one dyno then go to a dynoe down the road and only make 280hp. any shop with a 4wd dyno would be able to do a power run for you. it isn't rocket science and doing a simple power run is really no different between a gtr and a 4x4. you just tie it down, put in the data and do the run.

as for tuning the mines ecu, don't know how many places will actually be able to retune it for you. i have a feeling it will be very few, if any. the fact that they are a remapped ecu, means that more than likely you need all the emulator and rom burning stuff, which not many workshops have since it is pretty uncommon to do. they would more than likely need the right software as well, which i doubt many people at all have. it isn't like tuning a PFC or nistune, etc where they are relatively common and software is easily accessible.

      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.
