Well, some of you have mentioned that you would like a dyno day run for SAU, I have been ringing around a few places to try and get prices.

Before going any further with the organising, I just need to know how many people would be interested in attending.

Obviously, the more people that come, the cheaper it will be and the more fun will be had.

So, if I could just call for members who are interested in an exclusive Dyno Day to say I, and I'll try and work out which option will be better financially from the few places that have responded with resonable prices.

Also, people's opinions on opening up the invite to another club if the numbers aren't reached to have an exclusive day. Please let us know your opinion on the matter, and who you might like to invite. (Eg. WRX club or something) It will be a CLUB that is invited.. Not a website (Eg. Boostcruising or Qld Streetcar).

So go nuts and tell me what you think of the ideas! Only putting down definites now. Maybe's dont help me make up numbers :)

not fussed whoever turns up if numbers are needed. Even the pope could turn up and we could test how much that beast the Pope Mobile puts out at the wheels, hell I'd be all for that too :(

Some idea on pricing may be good. Think a lot of the time what happens people go "I'm keen" then the price comes up and people go ohhh, maybe not. Then the numbers are less than expected. just my 2c

At the moment the prices I have are from Mercury Motorsport and The Brock Shop. With being a 4WD dyno, it's a little more expensive.

Mercury Motorsport - Newmarket (Also a sponsor of SAU QLD)

With around 30 cars the cost will be $45 per car. Obviously the less cars, the more it's going to cost. But that was an average of how many cars they will probably get through in a day of dyno'ing. That price is for both 2WD and 4WD which I thought was a good cost. That also includes like a "waiting room" which has like seating facilities, pool table, other "Stuff" and a screen which shows the dyno readout of the car that is being dynoed downstairs. It also includes a BBQ lunch for the the members running their cars on the dyno. Drinks are $1 each as well. Includes 2 power runs using the Shootout mode and a print out of the figure.

The Brock Shop - Underwood

They have said it would be around $40 for 2WD and $50 for 4WD with a dyno print out. Thats all the information I have obtained at this point in time. Not sure how many runs but I gather it would be 2 + a print out.

CNJ (Carb N Jet) - Underwood

$88 per car. I personally think this is WAY too expensive for a dyno run and a piece of paper.

Dynosource - Nerang

Still waiting for a response. I have been to Dynosource before and like the way they run the dyno days. Last time it cost $30 for 2WD and $40 for 4WD. That included two power runs using shoot out mode and a print out of the figure. Will wait to see what offer they have this time around. Apparently they have changed owners since then.

All the Dyno places I have contacted have been Dynonamics dynos because after the last SVD Dyno day, people didn't seem too happy with the power figures from the dynologics dyno.

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
