NZ Dyno day in Hamilton NZ

Am planning on dynoing my car again and wondered if there was anyone else close that wanted to get on the dyno as well ?
I have it booked for the afternoon on Tuesday (11th June).

Cost would be around $115

Anyone ?

Could combine it with some tuning/speed cut removal etc ???? ........


EDIT : date finalised.

Shitty timing as I've got new carpet going down tues/wed. Let me see what I can come up with but it's a tricky one. Even I don't want to **** my wife off that much. Lol.

Ok. I'm in. I'll drive down early Thursday and be there before lunch. I'm keen for a dyno and a tune if that's alright with you. We can sort details out later. Looking forward to it. Cheers, Stephen.

Ok everyone, here's a chance to dyno the beast. Brettus has booked Tuesday 11th the afternoon. I'm in as is Brettus obviously so come along and play. If you've never dyno'd do it. It's fun and you'll find out lots about your car. Do it! Cheers.

OK, I can't make it.
Do you run a dyno only on tuned cars, or do stock 8s get it done too?
Thanks.

Both although its more use on modified stuff. Brettus would be a lot more knowledgable about it than me.
I'll see what I can do about the video.

Thanks Sir. I just always assumed it was for modified cars. I was wondering what benefit there would be for doing a stock one.
It's Friday there, right?
Have a good weekend!

It's used for stock cars all the time . Great for getting a baseline to compare any modifications you do against . also good to see if everything is as it should be - if you know what to look for ...............

Thanks, I don't plan on modding, but I guess I should never say never.

Just as Brettus said, I'm using it this time to check that the car is as solid as I think it is. The seat of the bum dyno is notoriously optimistic.
It's also a good chance to meet some more 8 owners and pick their brains. That and a great drive to get there!!! Yee haa.
