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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
