Hi All,

I was very excited about this new Iphone app called dynolicious. Unfortunately for me I only have an ipad (with some difficulty holding it vertical weged between the center console and some misc items - :) umbrella works well actually) so I used that instead and this is what I got after quite a bit of fooling around and some testing.

settings were: 1450kg , drive train loss 25%, roll-out 1inch (how sensitive is a real drag strip - i.e before it senses your reaction time vs star time), dollout distance (12 inches - default value - is this an unfair start?) (trigger 0.1G)

Car is a stock r34gtt auto - would up the boost to about 14 psi - no other mods.

Is this G of 0.65 accurate - can anybody confirm?

How would a similar car with manual trans perform?

What should I expect from an IC & 3 inch exhaust, should I also do fuel pump and EBC.

My only complaint is that I think the Kw are out of whack, I was expecting around 230kw. Has anybody else tried dynolicous and if so what settings have you used.

I think its pretty much on the money as I did a 14.71 quarter at a real drag strip with the same set-up.

The point was that Dynolicious and similar software is fairly accurate and if there was anyone out there that has used it.

Most of the replies so far strike as either young and immature or just immature.<br class="Apple-interchange-newline">

Your approach to testing the power of your car strikes me as childish. I can go and say, "I dyno'd my car yesterday with my Iphone, got 300kw, fck yeh (self hi 5)"

Or

"Went and got my car dyno'd today at blahblah, car pulled a good 300kw with nice power curve and AFR's, boost was steady, car's looking pretty good"

Which phrase do you prefer?! Or do you prefer peak power reading other than power curve? I know which one wins races.

i think what would be cool is if the car dynod 200kw and the app showed 200kw, i would be impressed. more so if it was consistently accurate against lots of cars. that would be really cool.

but using it to determine how much power your car has, instead of being impressed with what an iphone can do, a liiiiitte silly.

one day im sure this technology will totally be possible. but right now i dont think we should fuss over the very first sign of such a thing :)

P.S. 206kw for your described setup is probably a little overstated. Maybe at the flywheel.

I've got a copy of it but never have really been able to test it properly :(

The app to be accurate needs to be mounted with a good mount, otherwise movement completely throws off the calculation.

One friend claimed reasonable results with it, I'm skeptical.

To actually use it 0-100 or 1/4 mile you need to be in a straight line and start from a dead stop. On freeways you can't exactly stop so I've never done 0-100 properly :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
