Best Place To Get An Awd Car Dyno'd

[Global_Warmer]

Can anyone reccomend me a mob that knows how to tune and boost GTR skylines? I would prefer them to be at Newcastle but will travel to Sydney if I have to.

take out or disconnect the front dif =P then u can go to any dyno

Not keen to go playin around with pulling fuses to stop front diff from activating but. If it is in 2WD mode, wont that give in acurate HP figures?

drop the front drive shaft . its 4 bolts

who gives a f**k about hp figures . do you want it tuned or are you just tryin to have a higher hp than someone else

I give a F**K about HP figure! I want it tuned, boosted AND to know exactley what its got at 4 wheels.

I dont need to know if its got a higher HP than anyone else. I already know I have a bigger cock than most blokes so dont need braggin rights about big HP to compensate...

well you won't know EXACTLY what HP it has at all 4 as every dyno will give different readings, so you will only know roughly how much power it has.

running on 2wd for a tune will be fine.

going to ask the obvious, but you have an aftermarket ecu yeah? if not, then tuning won't do shit (as the stock ecu can't be tuned without some type of piggyback system, etc), and any dyno place should be able to wind the boost up for you and do a power run to see what it gets.

I would be almost cetain it has an after market ECU. There aint much that is stock standard on this car. How would i check the ECU to know its aftermarket?

Also doesnt ANYONE on here know of an AWD dyno that they can reccomend?

pull off the kick panel on the passenger side and look at the ecu. if it has a nissan sticker on it then it is more than likely still stock and isn't a nistune or anything like that. to tell that for sure though you have to open it up. if it is a full aftermarket ecu it will have the brand name on it.

Ok. I have had a look at it and it appears that it is a Mines ECU with its own Id Number stamped onto a gold plaque. So can this ECU be tweeked whilst the car is on a Dyno?

[GTRPowa]

Pretty sure it can't. It's just a 'chipped' stock computer afaik.

So, seeing as no one has answered the question of where is the best place to get an AWD car dyno'd... Does that mean the NO-ONE on this fine forum has ever had thier GTR dyno'd before? If I find a mob that does it and end up gettin it done, then i will be sure to share it with you

I'm pretty sure erina ultratune has an AWD mainline dyno. Its on the coast but still a better option than driving all the way to sydney.

Thanks mate! I checked their website out. Looks like its exactly the place that I am after.

plenty of people have had their GTR on a dyno, but it was no point me telling you any of the places i know of since i'm in QLD. there are a lot of people who would be too lazy to post up. there would also be quite a few who just take them to workshops with rwd dynos, because at the end of the dyno the dyno is simply a tuning tool and you may make 300hp on one dyno then go to a dynoe down the road and only make 280hp. any shop with a 4wd dyno would be able to do a power run for you. it isn't rocket science and doing a simple power run is really no different between a gtr and a 4x4. you just tie it down, put in the data and do the run.

as for tuning the mines ecu, don't know how many places will actually be able to retune it for you. i have a feeling it will be very few, if any. the fact that they are a remapped ecu, means that more than likely you need all the emulator and rom burning stuff, which not many workshops have since it is pretty uncommon to do. they would more than likely need the right software as well, which i doubt many people at all have. it isn't like tuning a PFC or nistune, etc where they are relatively common and software is easily accessible.
