I reckon I got the lowest reading of the day! 106rwkw! I was pretty embarrassed. Apparently I'm running really, really rich and losing power because of it.

Edit: Having said that it was a pretty cool day. Thanks to all the organisers!<

yeah, sam's dyno reads a little lower than a dyno dramitics... but meh... was an AWESOME day!

anyone else stick it out till the end?

nope. booted after those big f**k off trucks rolled up.

post results plz el Presidente :)

Awesome day, I had a blast. Plenty of area to warm up the cars pre-dyno. As for the low readings, tough call, because I got the same figure at RE Customs last year which other people said was also reading low. But if enough dynos show this same figure, then one could say your tuner's dyno is reading high...it could go either way.

In the end a dyno run is useful only as a comparison to other cars on the day or to see what your curve and AFR's look like. The most valuable thing you can take from it is where your engine or tune needs attention.

Thanks all for making it a great day.

Dyno readings a tad low, did anyone else think that?

226kw but could only manage 217kw even after dr drift (sam) leaned out the mixtures, which i appreciate.

Dyno variance is simple

+/- 15rwkw at any given time between two places.

Splitting hairs over 9kw is silly :)

I've found Sam's results to be basically on par with other places for the most part. There is always going to be some variance.

so the SAU prize winners are:

forced induction - Ric - R33 gtst - 264rwkw

naturally aspirated - Chris - M3 - 168rwkw

prizes can be collected from the next general meeting guys. CONGRATS!

the overall winner was hotly contested with a 378.9rwkw and 379rwkw by a 2jz supra and a blown VE GTS respectively.

other highlights were 299rwkw from the blown monaro, 148rwkw from james's mad max replica and everyone jumping back about a metre when the bee*R limiter was hit on John's R32 GTR

all in all a brilliant day

thanyou to all that attended

Why does this go on after every Dyno Day???...

Just wanted to compare thats all. And make sure my car is not going "backwards" powerwise. hehe

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
