Geez you guys are f*ckwits. I went through all of this when I posted the tread about prefered workshops. If anyone has had a bad experience (other than price related) with speedworks PM me. I've had bad experiences and talked to a fair few people that have also had bad experiences with workshops mentioned here before (no name naming). The *only* place I will take my car is speedworks. I'm sure the fact that these guys are in the process of building one of the fastest GTR's in Perth means they *may* have a little bit of experience with the dyno... ya reckon? BTW: the only tweak you can do on the dyno is probably add a slight advance to the timing of the car through the crank angle sensor, it'll add a couple of KW's. Its not really recommended cos if you are still running stock ecu and stock intercooler if you are fanging it on a hot day (which you shouldnt with stock intercooler) you could get detonation.

Fellas, lets not get all bitchy about this.

I know ALL these guys ( cyphers, Speedworks, SST, PSI )and a few more and have had dealings with them all at some time in my life.

Thing is Perth is too small a place to badmouth people and the word does get back to these guys.

My suggestion is that if you have a problem with any of them , then tell them or if some one asks, PM them.

Failing that, say nothing, you will be respected more for it.

We are never going to please every single person on this forum so my suggestion is one person organise it with one company and if an individual has a problem with that company then don't go !

righto enough of the bitching ladies.

rob loose the attitude if someone doesn't like the workshop you use thats there choice.

Guys its a dyno day. i'd say the criteria u want is

preferably a 4wd dyno but 2wd will do.

a decent price, both SST and Speedworks have now provided this.

decent parking and spectating area.

someone who knows there dyno

its only a power run u can tell em how many revs you want them to go to and they aren't tuning your car.

as for tweeks depends on your setup. as rob said u can advance timing, u can also up boost, minor safc tweeks if its already tuned etc.

any ways calm down make your decision on which dyno and go with them.

OK ladies heres the deal!:P

Just spoke to Brett at PSI he said that Mid - Late Jan he can run a dyno day full screen and readouts for everyone to see.

He said $30 each.... if there are lots of cars though might be able to push him for $25...

Also if we do agree he is going to get out a special little surprise for us.... prob one of the most powerul Gtst's we have ever seen...

Up to you guys where you want to go but yeah there is the price on a nice NEW 4wd dyno.... $30 maybe i can beg him for $25 if heaps of you guys agree to go....

i had to stop myself from drooling over the engine...

I don't know if i can say much else... Ummm if it is the same GTst we wre talking about the new engine hasn't got a RB30 bottom end... good idea though but the decided to do things a bit differeent;)

Man i feel like having my own dyno day there just so i can see this baby in action!:lol:

PSI or speedworks sounds good to me.

If people wan't to have a dyno day sooner rather than later perhaps we can organise a day at both dyno's. A december run at speedworks then a mid/late january run at PSI (after everyone has got Power FCs for christmas).:P

If you guys want to use speedworks let me know and I will organise it with ivan. PSI is up joondalup way, speedworks is now in osborne park, so its probably more central. BTW: I didnt start the bitching about workshops, my 2cents worth. I just find it frustrating when providing a solution for people and they bitch about it.

My 2.2c would be for PSI

They did take care of the SDU  dyno day...

He does hire big sreen projector for the day..

And am guessing this 'BIG' Skyline would be Dannys White one.. If so..that alone would be something to see.

Yup thats the one!!! Brett said he would have it ready for us!

Yeah big screen for us to watch too!!!

PSI did ask for Mid to Late Jan

OK joe you make the decision..... :shake:

Firstly...

Adam.. if you DO beat me, and we've all see how you drive..ha ha then i'll just have to key your car up. !

Rev210... lol I almost forgot about that.. we got chewed out by that cop good and proper huh.. well we were doing just a tad over the limit.

Radium.. At Myaree my little Silvia pulled 252 RWHP on 15 psi, t28, fmic and full 3" zaust.

I'm thinking the reading is a bit high, as a month or two earlier, same mods except 14 psi, i got 219 at Fuel Inj Services, in Belmont. who knows..?

I only went to Myaree cause i wanted a print out with an a/r ratio printed on it

Fuel Inj Serv couldn't do it..

At the risk of stirring the porridge, may I present some dyno comparisons for my/R34's old car (some of you will know as Buffy):

PSI 169rwkw/226rwhp

Myaree 219rwkw/294rwhp

Still got the printouts if anyone wants to see them.

My vote is the dyno at PSI.

I just got some more work done by Brett & I am very particular about my car (as most of us are). Please don't let some bad experiences affect our choice of venue as it won't be the same if everyone isn't there.

My 2.2c.

    • Maf is a question mark but TPS  I have set at 0.47, the fact that I’m getting proper voltage range out of it with the key on leads me to believe it’s functioning properly. I’m getting proper voltages on basically everything. I still need to look up voltage ranges for z32 maf and test that 
    • Honestly no not at all, but it’s a very basic tune, it’s stock injectors q45 tps and z32 maf. Other than that it’s a completely stock base map. The file is from nistune and from my understanding if it was tune related I would be able to unplug maf and tps and it would still start even if it was a really shitty start. I have tried starting it with coolant temp, maf, and tps unplugged none of those 3 togethor or individually changes anything 
    • 🏆 Skyline Supremacy Meets Mount Panorama Magic 🏆 Join SAU NSW as we take the long way to Bathurst, the home of GTR greatness. Saturday 30th August 2025 7:00AM Meeting Hanna Park North Richmond 7:30AM Departure Cruise Via Bells of Line Road 9:00AM Arrival to Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat 9:45AM Arrival to Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit Meet Location: Hanna Park North Richmond Stop 1: Golden Poplars Meadow Flat Final Destination: Mount Panorama Motor Racing Circuit   *Disclaimer* There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost. If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior! This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days. This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit. One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general. When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to: • Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly. • Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should. • Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU NSW and thus, treat others accordingly. • Any misbehavior will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.
    • What does it look like with highway driving? And yes, I had a similar thought as Duncan. It looks quite similar in my Stagea and I have made myself accept it as normal. Might have to look into it some day   Highway gets as low as 10l/100km on my end so I'm not as worried about it being a mechanical issue. More likely just the tune on the haltech.
    • While I was waiting for the new parts to come in for the charge pipe and radiator I decided to do some turbo modification. The drive pressure (exhaust backpressure) was a lot higher that I thought it should be. For 32lbs of boost drive was 55lbs. The turbine housing is a 1.10AR and my turbo builder has suggested to go to a 1.25AR. To test if a larger AR would do anything to reduce drive pressure AND not spend any money I decided to hog out the divider in my current housing. I removed it from the inlet and the whole way through the housing.  After reassembly and testing it doesn't look like this modification did anything for reducing drive pressure or requiring more fuel (making more power). Oh well, it was worth a shot. We'll get some data at the track if it makes it past the 60ft. I also machined a $7 shift knob off Amazon to fit my Stillway shifter since I didn't like the Stillway shift knob. Next on the list was the radiator replacement and fabrication of a new intercooler tube that had no silicon coupler. No pictures of this - I was short on time each night after work to get this done and didn't stop to take pictures.  Next was to get the clutch disks out and replaced. Previously when installing the dogbox I had ordered a set of the same sintered iron disks I had been running because I switched to the 26-spline input shaft. I thought it was odd that they didn't have any markings or brand name on them like all my old disks had but installed them anyway. At the track I could not get the clutch to lock up using my normal strategies. After two track nights I reached out to the clutch manufacturer and ask their thoughts. They said they had to switch the material out because they were having trouble getting the original material and that this new material would not take to being slipped very well.  So out with the first set of 26-spline disks and in with the correct material 26-spline disks. While I had the trans out I added an inspection/service hole. I've wanted one of these for a while. Now I can have a look at things and change the front cover shimming when needed (clutch wear). I hustled and got the clutch change done in a few hours on a Saturday. Hopped in the car and drove home. On the way home I did a 1-3 pull. When shifting from 2nd to 3rd the core plug in the back of the cylinder head popped out and dumped all the coolant. Thankfully I was only 30 seconds from home and coasted it there. Datalog showed nothing unusual and 2.5psi of coolant pressure. That plug has been in there since 1992 but I guess it worked its way out. Pulled the trans AGAIN and replaced the plug, JB welded it in, and made a brace. Also deleted the head drain I had added in during the bearing issue fiasco.  I am currently changing my boost control plumbing to make it cleaner. After that is done I'll make another attempt at getting past the 60.
