Hi guys, I've recently started working for an ecommerce group buying site and I am keen to bring more motorsports to the front line and get more up there for the blokes/enthusiasts. I'm going to put together a few packages but one of these will be a few runs on a dyno, around both the Gold Coast and Brisbane. Just really want to give a good package that gives out accurate readings. Anyone got any recommendations of companies that A. are big enough to cope with a good few people and B. are a reputable company that give realistic instead of inflated dyno results?

Thanks for any responses and if anyone has any ideas of events or services that they would like to see up drop me a pm and I'll see if I can get them on board.

Cheers

Stevie

What is the incentive?

Anyone can ring a workshop pay $100 and have the car run up

I work for a marketing company and want to work out a deal with someone so that it will not be $100, more like half price. You know what I mean? Just looking to know who you guys would want to do the deal with. Someone legit and good.

I follow

But will be interesting if a busy workshop would be willing to take on such a concept. For them time is money And if they are only going to make say $30 for an hour or more work (Im assuming your company will take a cut) when the usual charge is say $100...

What would be the advertising medium?

As for recommending a workshop. Everyone will have a different opinion so I suggest lots of searching

i think that any workshop that is going to do discount dyno runs is probably going to give discount quality results. so in other words it will be a case of drive the car on, strap it down, quickly put the settings in, do the run, drive the car off and take money. so they probably wouldn't take as much time to get the settings on the dyno right (such as putting the intake temp sensor in the engine bay), etc. so readings wouldn't be quite as accurate as a full paid run.

The incentive for the workshop comes when you gather 20+ cars, many of them stock or with mild mods that don't require a tune. But the owner would love to know what kind of power it is making... Later on down the track (could be months away) they decide that they want to mod the car a bit more, and they take it to the workshop that they've been to before, to they guys that they've talked to who sounded like they knew their shit.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
