Yer especially when dynos all give different readings with more variation between each other than that between RWD and AWD. Look at what happened last year with the RE customs dyno...that was AWD (from memory), but had everyone complaining about being 20-30rwkw down on power :whistling:

More dyno readings you can get = better average figure you can get on peak power. But more important is how your line/graph looks than the peak power result IMO. Dyno will always be first and foremost a diagnostic/tuning tool, with numbers meaning not much more than a comparison to other cars on the same day. Still, as long as you AWD peeps come along to say hi, that's what really matters :thumbsup:

lol. hater. :P

it was bad enough having to concede that they had to do it to test the EBC :P i tend to like my car intact :D

a few kws makes all the difference when youre not making many :(

pfft.... sif not run it. there is no way in hell 1 dyno run is going to kill the transmission

I know that :P My Pulsar had seen more dyno time at Sam's than probably every car in existance. I'm still not putting the Cube on the dyno, it can just come and be all Cubey and cute.

    • 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.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
