um.... NO..

i went to that site and it is only for people wishing to buy dyno's... and you cant even access the FAQ's

wouldnt it be easier just to tel us what it means .... rather than starting a f*kkin wild goose chase for answers......

so what does it mean... www.dynodynamics.com.au... DOES NOT GIVE US THE ANSWER...

Unquestionable results

Controlled conditions

Controlled ramp rates

Controlled drive-train inertia

Controlled drive-train loss

My bad They changed there site

yes non shootout mode vs shootout mode is likely to give different results.

shootout mode basically takes the results and runs it through a weather simulator template to round it all to a nice even playing field.

then if you dyno your car in tas on a winter morning and apply the shootout mode settings and dyno your car in sydney on a hot day and apply the shootout mode settings you get the same power reading

AS paulr33 says, if you dyno your car in January at 2pm on a scorcing hot day in Darwin, it certainly will increase the power reading.

But if you do it in August at midnight in Hobart where it is well below freezing the power reading will be reduced from what it really is.

I can see the reasoning for doing this, but essentially it isnt a true power reading though.

Shoot Out mode was designed by DD so that valid comparisons could be made between cars in Darwin and cars in Hobart and cars in summer versus cars in winter.

We have a climate controlled room with the dyno in it. If you drive the car outside and it's hotter than inside, the car will make less power than it did on the dyno. Conversely if you drive the car outside and it's colder than inside, the car will make more power than it did on the dyno.

What's the difference between that and Shoot Out mode?

:) cheers :domokun:

PS; Shoot Out mode also locks out some of the fiddles that dyno operators used to get up to. There are still some left though.

Said fiddles were the cause of a poo-brown VW beetle making 275rwkw at a particular workshop's dyno day :)

      I know mentally you're set on the ATS clutch but honestly I'm a big fan of the Nismo Super Coppermix Twin. It's much cheaper and in some ways I think it's a better design for a street/circuit car.

      Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.

      Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.

      It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!

      Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
