Any thoughts on the accuracy of the dyno today?

I had a confusing result at 215 4wkw compared to my last dyno session of 282 4wkw.... and today i was running slightly more boost. i know all dyno's are different but with a difference that big, something is going on with my car or the dyno. I'm hoping its not my car that's the problem.

The dyno was reading about 40rwkw lower than "normal". Some one tried to explain that this dyno was "accurate", but quickly stopped when i asked him to explain how my mechanic's dyno, the Autosalon dyno and Racingline dyno all produced the same figures when i ran my car, with the previous setup. Hard to believe that everyone else's dyno is inaccurate :P.

At the end of the day you know it's about 40rwkw lower, but it still a good day because the reading were consistent and you can compare your mods and power to others.

Was a great day and good to see such a decent turn out.

Yep, definitely the dyno.

I had picked up my car Friday afternoon where it had just finished being tuned in front of me, and made 253rwkw...I went to Kamikaze simply to compare the 2 dynos, and made 216rwkw....so just under 40rwkw less, pretty much the same as at least 2 other cars I know the figures of (Al and Nick), who also made 30-40rwkw less than what they normally do.

Not to mention Ron's GTR making something like 70awkw less...

Awsome photos guys, so many nice rides there today, a great day to renew.

Ey Doski you were there??! I didn't see you or your car... Ah well theres always the next meet up ey :P

Ps. Great photos PhatBoy, really got some good shots of individual cars and the whole line up in the carpark.

Agreed that the dyno was reading low...my supra was tuned at Status and made 256rwkw and it made 226rwkw at kamikaze today...again...we know dynos read differently but thats a rather large variation...

anyone know when the next dyno day might come up? hopefully before the next member renuwal next year.

ill have my car at its peak by then for sure

more boost and finally............. completely tuned even with a gear box that has all the gears in one piece too

so up to 40kw more hey??? i was happy with my 152.6rwkw lol

ne one got pics of my car on the dyno?? i didnt take my camera as i wasnt gonna dyno it but the i got convinced by wayne to chuck it on lol

Yeah... -40rwkw is a pretty big difference.

I uploaded the two photos I took of your ride to that photobucket account. Should be the first 2 pics. Here it is again.

yep. my GTR made 70awkw less as well. They must have had there settings for GTRs a bit out. Anyway, i'm glad its there dyno rather than my car!

yeh my car does not feel like 180rwkw :laugh:

got anymore pics of the white 4 door?

an can you send me them all (including the ones you took) in hi res thanks :laugh:

any othe2 32 gts-ts run? wat sorta power they make?

i seemed to think the more standard cars pulled power figures they shouldve

but i didnt hang around to see, but me, Dezz, Al, Ron and many others were all down ~40kw, gtrs up to ~70kw

i dont know if its 40kw out or a certain %. My friends 100% standard evo 7 made 150rwkw. Does that mean its got closer to 190 with a standard exhaust and standard boost?

there was one at RE looked and sounded very standard, maybe a turbo back or just cat back.

pulled 211 i think .....

i'll stand to be corrected though

Heheh - is that the one we were betting on at the end of the day?? :thumbsup:

Maybe the correction factor differed or inlet temps were measured differently...so many variables. Sorry to hear so many saddened by their numbers.

Was cool to see so many whales in the 1 location. hehe.

Hey Danielle,

Saw you pull in, was talking to a few friends at the time , then when i went back inside to say hi you were already in your car and started to leave.

Good to see the car on the road again!

Heheh - is that the one we were betting on at the end of the day?? :(
Hahaha yea bec thats the one :) You almost won it! haha

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
