Well i should be finished on our dyno by then, i will put my hand up and come and meet some of you guys. I am keen to get a print out as i have never had the car on a dyno dynamics dyno. $75 Seems very rich for a a power run, but for once in my life i could pay for use of a dyno.

Thanks for organising it erin.

Nismogirl,

This would be my first dyno run...could you explain how the day goes. Do you get one run and a print out and then watch the other cars? Is it first there first on the dyno? How long does the day go etc etc. Sorry to be a novice

To start the day off, who ever is there at 10am will be placed on the list with members going before others. Then, people who just turn up during the day will be placed in the next available position. This means that while members will be given priority to non members, we wont be allowing members who arrive late to "push in" to the queue - its just not fair on people who made the effort to arrive on time.

When your car is up, you will need to reverse it into the carpark provided and wait for the guys at mercury to reverse it in. Once it's on the dyno (you can sit in the car while it's on the dyno if you wish), your car will be given two or three power runs and the best one printed out on a piece of paper and laminated.

I hope that explains it well enough :)

Guys, I also need definite answers so mercury motorsport know how to charge us appropriately for the booked numbers.

Sounds good Erin. Even if it looks like I will be getting slot 13.

Seeing it's a 4wd dyno I will bring the new toy as the 'line has been on the dyno a couple of times.

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
