Geez you guys are f*ckwits. I went through all of this when I posted the tread about prefered workshops. If anyone has had a bad experience (other than price related) with speedworks PM me. I've had bad experiences and talked to a fair few people that have also had bad experiences with workshops mentioned here before (no name naming). The *only* place I will take my car is speedworks. I'm sure the fact that these guys are in the process of building one of the fastest GTR's in Perth means they *may* have a little bit of experience with the dyno... ya reckon? BTW: the only tweak you can do on the dyno is probably add a slight advance to the timing of the car through the crank angle sensor, it'll add a couple of KW's. Its not really recommended cos if you are still running stock ecu and stock intercooler if you are fanging it on a hot day (which you shouldnt with stock intercooler) you could get detonation.

Fellas, lets not get all bitchy about this.

I know ALL these guys ( cyphers, Speedworks, SST, PSI )and a few more and have had dealings with them all at some time in my life.

Thing is Perth is too small a place to badmouth people and the word does get back to these guys.

My suggestion is that if you have a problem with any of them , then tell them or if some one asks, PM them.

Failing that, say nothing, you will be respected more for it.

We are never going to please every single person on this forum so my suggestion is one person organise it with one company and if an individual has a problem with that company then don't go !

righto enough of the bitching ladies.

rob loose the attitude if someone doesn't like the workshop you use thats there choice.

Guys its a dyno day. i'd say the criteria u want is

preferably a 4wd dyno but 2wd will do.

a decent price, both SST and Speedworks have now provided this.

decent parking and spectating area.

someone who knows there dyno

its only a power run u can tell em how many revs you want them to go to and they aren't tuning your car.

as for tweeks depends on your setup. as rob said u can advance timing, u can also up boost, minor safc tweeks if its already tuned etc.

any ways calm down make your decision on which dyno and go with them.

OK ladies heres the deal!:P

Just spoke to Brett at PSI he said that Mid - Late Jan he can run a dyno day full screen and readouts for everyone to see.

He said $30 each.... if there are lots of cars though might be able to push him for $25...

Also if we do agree he is going to get out a special little surprise for us.... prob one of the most powerul Gtst's we have ever seen...

Up to you guys where you want to go but yeah there is the price on a nice NEW 4wd dyno.... $30 maybe i can beg him for $25 if heaps of you guys agree to go....

i had to stop myself from drooling over the engine...

I don't know if i can say much else... Ummm if it is the same GTst we wre talking about the new engine hasn't got a RB30 bottom end... good idea though but the decided to do things a bit differeent;)

Man i feel like having my own dyno day there just so i can see this baby in action!:lol:

PSI or speedworks sounds good to me.

If people wan't to have a dyno day sooner rather than later perhaps we can organise a day at both dyno's. A december run at speedworks then a mid/late january run at PSI (after everyone has got Power FCs for christmas).:P

If you guys want to use speedworks let me know and I will organise it with ivan. PSI is up joondalup way, speedworks is now in osborne park, so its probably more central. BTW: I didnt start the bitching about workshops, my 2cents worth. I just find it frustrating when providing a solution for people and they bitch about it.

My 2.2c would be for PSI

They did take care of the SDU  dyno day...

He does hire big sreen projector for the day..

And am guessing this 'BIG' Skyline would be Dannys White one.. If so..that alone would be something to see.

Yup thats the one!!! Brett said he would have it ready for us!

Yeah big screen for us to watch too!!!

PSI did ask for Mid to Late Jan

OK joe you make the decision..... :shake:

Firstly...

Adam.. if you DO beat me, and we've all see how you drive..ha ha then i'll just have to key your car up. !

Rev210... lol I almost forgot about that.. we got chewed out by that cop good and proper huh.. well we were doing just a tad over the limit.

Radium.. At Myaree my little Silvia pulled 252 RWHP on 15 psi, t28, fmic and full 3" zaust.

I'm thinking the reading is a bit high, as a month or two earlier, same mods except 14 psi, i got 219 at Fuel Inj Services, in Belmont. who knows..?

I only went to Myaree cause i wanted a print out with an a/r ratio printed on it

Fuel Inj Serv couldn't do it..

At the risk of stirring the porridge, may I present some dyno comparisons for my/R34's old car (some of you will know as Buffy):

PSI 169rwkw/226rwhp

Myaree 219rwkw/294rwhp

Still got the printouts if anyone wants to see them.

My vote is the dyno at PSI.

I just got some more work done by Brett & I am very particular about my car (as most of us are). Please don't let some bad experiences affect our choice of venue as it won't be the same if everyone isn't there.

My 2.2c.

    • Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.
    • Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
    • Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
