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.

      Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA

      All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.

      roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
