How come all the dynos differ in price so much?

All I want is to set the boost using the dyno, adjust the timing and then to give me a readout.

I've had prices ranging from $50 to $130 odd (per hour).

Where is a good one to go to?

Also, do I have to use a 4WD dyno or can I put the car in RWD mode? It won't affect anything if I use RWD mode will it?

Cheers.

I guess like with all different quality of services you pay more in some and lessin others.... I use PSI performances dyno and so do MANY other high performance tuners.

I heard a rumour on the weekend and i dunno how true it is so i aint gunna stand by it but i did here that with the 32 GTR's instead of pulling out fuse or wire apparently when you 1st start ignition it's 4wd then if you turn it off then turn back on again it goes into RWD if this is true?? could it work for the 32 GTS4

I will always tend to use the same person over and over, aslong as they do the right thing by me then I will support there business.

To do a power-run should only cost about $70 per hour, it requires some playing around and minor adjustments, but if your not after tuning then it shouldn't cost you too much.

I use Steve at SST, he build race cars and has a number of clients with fast cars including 11sec Skylines, Evos and has a 8sec SR20DET powered rail.

I use Ivan at APA (ex Speedworks), he's recently got his dyno and it has some serious amount of accuracy and repeatability. I get full lambda graph printouts etc, AFR... all that crap ;)

And no wheelspin, you bolt the car up to the hubs!

I think the dyno is out at JRT in bentley at the moment for anyone who wants to enquire. I think the price is around the $60-70 mark. I've been getting mates rates so im not sure exactly :)

Seriously, If you go to a place to tune your car and they don't know how to disable the 4WD then get the hell out, they obviously don't know what they are doing. Anyone charging $130 per hour for a power-run is a rip off, as you can see there are many good dyno's around which we all will be more than happy to go back to. the important thing is once you find one you like then stick to it, that way you can tell the affects any mods have to you power in relation to that one dyno.

If you want it done cheap, go to barry's he is a good bloke too, i mean its only to set boost you aint getting it tuned to be a 10 second monster.

If you can ever get him to answer the phone.

Seriously , I know he is a good operator and I knew him when he worked for Darryl Penley ( ATS )and that was probably before most of you guys were alive but is that any way to run a business ?

Gtrken and Strichnine,

I understand where your coming from, but when the other tuning shops don't know what to do with a car they send it to Barrie, everyone knows he is the best, it's just that you have to deal with all the other crap. He works by himself, and doesn't answer phones etc, so if you want it done in a hurry then your better off elsewhere, if you need something fixed which no-one else can do then he's your man.

See'ya:burnout:

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
