Obviously we were mistaken. If people want a dyno day where making $ is the prime consideration over car performance then I suggest you go somewhere else.

As for our existing customers from this forum and any new people interested in the technical side of things, we are more then happy to have a chat about your plans ;)

I guess this just makes my point. Thank you.

The idea of a dyno day isn't to "build a report" with potential customers, or to have a 30 minute chat to them about "what their car is doing"... Neither is it day where "making $ is the prime consideration".

The idea of a dyno day is to run what you brung, and compare power figures of cars on the same dyno, on the same day. Get the car on the dyno, run it and get it off, so you don't wait around for 4 hours to see your car run.

As for your suggestion of "go somewhere else", I shall take your advice if I ever organise a dyno day, and will pass on your sentiments to anyone else who may organise one. Thank you again.

Merli you have a different perspective on what a dyno day should consist of. I for one enjoy the discussions with everyone while other cars are running and I'm not in a hurry to 'Get the car on the dyno, run it and get it off'. I'd rather have a few minutes to maybe fine tune a few PowerFC settings without having the next person hassling to get onto the dyno so they can leave.

I vote you're first on the dyno for this day being organised.

Anyways, wherever you guys decide to hold this day I'll be there.

Absolutely. That's the whole point. To discuss with other owners what mods they've done, and to see the results.

I take it you have never been to a Unigroup dyno day then? If you're sitting there for 2 hours, and only see 4 cars run, it gets very boring, very fast.

Get the car on, run it, get it off, and you can chat to the owner outside whilst the next car is running.

Performance Forum's dyno day at CRD was *EXCELLENT*... One of the best I have been to. There was a line of 2-3 cars waiting to go straight on, it took about 10-15 minutes per car (depending on power and the level of strapping/ballsat needed)... Run the car, get it off and people can go and chat with the owner when it's off... The car doesn't need to sit on the dyno for 30-40 minutes for you to chat with other owners about their car...

Feel free to pass “my sentiments” onto who ever you wish to :)

At the end of the day we like to know that our customers have the utmost faith in our ability to achieve what they desire. If in the past we have been slow at times then we apologise. But we’d rather take our time and do the job right (like strap cars down properly) then just hurry people up for the sake of efficiency.

After all if the people want to chat and make a dyno “day” out of then we shall do so. Since the majority of people whom I’ve spoken to prefer our way of doing things then that’s the way it is going to stay.

I wouldn't mind having a run at CRD either though coz i've never been there and would like to know where the place is and what services they offer etc.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I don't think there's any way someone is push starting this car.. I honestly can barely move it, and moving it and steering it is just flat out not possible. I'm sure it is, but needs a bigger man than me. I have a refurbished starter now. The starter man was quite clear and consise showing me how nothing inside a starter really should contribute to slow cranking, and turned out that for the most part... my starter was entirely fine. Still, some of the wear items were replaced and luckily it didn't show any signs of getting too hot, being unfit for use, etc. Which is 'good'. I also noticed the starter definitely sounded different, which is a bit odd considering nothing should have really changed there.... Removed and refit, and we'll pretend one of the manifold bolts didn't fully tighten up and is only "pretty" tight. GM only wants 18ft/lb anyway. I also found a way to properly get my analog wideband reading very slightly leaner than the serial wideband. There's Greg related reasons for this. The serial output is the absolute source of truth, but it is a total asshole to actually stay connected and needs a laptop. The analog input does not, and works with standalone datalogging. Previously the analog input read slightly richer, but if I am aiming at 12.7 I do not want one of the widebands to be saying 12.7 when the source of truth is 13.0. Now the source of truth will be 12.65 and the Analog Wideband will read 12.7. So when I tune to 12.7 it'll be ever so slightly safer. While messing with all of this and idling extensively I can confirm my car seems to restart better while hot now. I did add an old Skyline battery cable between the head and the body though, though now I really realise I should have chosen the frame. Maybe that's a future job. The internet would have you believe that this is caused by bad grounds. In finding out where my grounds actually were I found out the engine bay battery post actually goes to the engine, as well as a seperate one (from the post) to the body of the car. So now there's a third one making the Grounding Triangle which is now a thing. I also from extensive idling have this graph. Temperature (°C) Voltage (V) 85 1.59 80 1.74 75 1.94 70 2.1 65 2.33 60 2.56 55 2.78 50 2.98 45 3.23 40 3.51 35 3.75 30 4.00   Plotted it looks like this. Which is actually... pretty linear? I have not actually put the formula into HPTuners. I will have to re-engage brain and/or re-engage the people who wanted more data to magically do it for me. Tune should be good for the 30th!
