Hi,

I am located in France at the moment and unfortunately ALL dynos within a 500km radius of me are inertia dynos (not braked). I would like to have my car tuned (CA18DET 180sx) but can this be possible? This is the question I asked, and all 3 (yes only 3) shops with dynos say YES. They simply keep the engine on certain load points by using the car's brakes (as opposed to loading the dyno via eddy brakes etc which are found on braked dynos).

Frankly, they have me convinced!!!! Seeing the competition rally cars coming off these dynos and running so successfully and reliably, I have proof before my eyes that tuning all load points on an inertia dyno is accurate, viable and efficient (providing you have good rear brakes).

BUT....I have heard rumours that cars tuned on inertia dynos held on specific load points through the car's brakes run LEAN....I dont see how this could happen as really the concept is the same as road tuning except youre doing it in a safer manner.

I want to know people's opinions before I hand over 200 euros an hour for tuning on a dyno which may not give me the results i want....

Cheers

i have never seen a vehicle tuned on an inertia dyno but i dont see that it will cause you any problems as long as the person tuning your car know what they are doing

have you considered road tuning because it can be done anywere and the tuning is done in a real driving enviroment so in the end you can get a better running vehicle as long as the tuner knows what their doing

    • There are several aftermarket options available, from not-too-painful moneyhttps://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35 and  https://justjap.com/products/crank-motorsport-billet-rear-axles-fits-nissan-skyline-r33-gts-t-r34-gt-t?srsltid=AfmBOorQk4xkGUa98kO7v2ePLUiNt-HRrM2AwWNw9mbSIVE1ujBVwY__, all the way up to The Driveshaft Shop https://driveshaftshop.com/skyline-cv-axles/
    • Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.
    • Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.
    • Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers 
    • The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
