Nor Cal Dyno Day - Page 2 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

NZO · 07-17-2003, 10:32 AM

Kazuo: Vishnu uses a dynodynamics dyno. They give lower numbers (which internet racers hate) but they are more accurate thany any other dyno.

Here is all the information about why this dyno is the best:
http://www.vishnutuning.com/dynos_dont_lie.htm
http://www.vishnutuning.com/dyno_myth.htm

And a little excel spreadsheet to show the differences between dyno ratings:
http://www.vishnutuning.com/How_Big_...Horsepower.xls

Its up to majority of course, but if you read through that stuff I'm sure youll agree that vishnu's dyno is superior.

Also the other nice thing about vishnu is that they dont just do 3 pulls and take your car off, they will continue to do pulls untill the reading is consistant. Which means you know exactly how much power youre making, not just how much you average over 3 pulls.

kazuo · 07-18-2003, 02:34 PM

NZO: Do me a favour and talk to Vishnu and see what they can do for us as far as a group rate.

I will still probably go ahead and do it at my friend's friend's shop, but it is good to shop around.

We are down to 11 people, my friend Basil backed out since he is getting an AFC in mid-August and doesnt want to bother with the dyno runs if he's not going to have it installed in time.

We still have over 10 people so I don't see any issues unless more people start backing out.

I will be collecting money in the next week or so, so get ready to pay up.

TRUENOCOUPE · 07-18-2003, 02:41 PM

I need to tune my car, Can you ask them how much for an hour with the rest of you guys.

All you guys just wants to see how much you guys are putting out but thats useless for me.

Danio-
Are you selling your front end? Ill buy it off you. I want a 97-98 Front end.

Andrew Bohan · 07-21-2003, 06:23 PM

any word on an exact date yet?

kazuo · 07-23-2003, 11:03 PM

TRUENOCOUPE: You will get three runs on the dyno (as it stands right now). I think you can get some tuning done with that, if not you can always do some more runs later on. I'll get back to you on that.

As far as the date goes, its still up in the air; definitly on a weekend, definitely in August. I will have the exact date/time and location finalized by this coming week. I will begin hitting people up for payment then. If you don't pay you don't get a spot. I will announce also next week whether or not we are gonna accept roll-ins at the door (they will probably have to pay more than the rest of us).

Keep on asking friends & all if they need dyno runs -- the more the merrier!

EDIT: Also, as far as people coming to watch/loiter/whatever -- there will be room for cars, but not a ton of room -- first come first serve. And naturally priority will be given to people who are actually going to run their cars.

GotDriftS14 · 07-24-2003, 05:20 PM

did somebody call me Mike Gonzo?? hahaha...well sorry but i wont be able to participate in the dyno day festivities, im too poor and plus my car sucks and it still has the automagic tranny.

Sorry but three runs are is just not enough.

I did a total 14 runs for an hour and that only got me to third gear.

Just ask for me, I appreciate it.

Thanks

kazuo · 07-31-2003, 01:18 PM

Just so you guys don't think we're not doing anything:

We're waiting on a callback from ATP regarding the date we can do it. The dates I gave them were August 16/17, or August 23/24.. They require a 10-12 car MINNIMUM for group dyno days, and it would appear we have that easily, barring anyone backing out at the last second.

We're not going with my other friend's shop cus they wanted $60 and ATP is giving us a $50 rate. ATP is located in Fremont (yes, FREMONT) so bring your front license plates, and don't do anything stupid!

I will begin collecting money as soon as they call me back. You must pay in advance, and please please PLEASE don't sign up if you think you'll have to bail for ANY reason! It's not fair to the rest of us.

I will accept PayPal (plus 3%), money orders or CASH. NO CHECKS ACCEPTED

If you are paying via MO or cash you can drop it off either to me (Frisco) or Chris (Milpitas), whichever works best. Otherwise you can mail me money or pay via PayPal (add 3% cus they suck and steal money)

autobahNESSA · 07-31-2003, 04:37 PM

If anybody is going to be sending me the money,
Please contact me
my email is

I'm located in milpitas near Golfland.

That's fine dude, I'll just schedule you in one of the early runs so you can get outta there before 2 or 3pm.

Sign up!!!

s13chica · 08-05-2003, 03:56 PM

I'd totally be in...but I'm off to mexico today and there is no way I can get you the money by the 13th since I don't come home until the 14th. I can give you cash on the 15th if that's allowed, otherwise I guess I'll just have to watch and cry.

thx247 · 08-05-2003, 04:03 PM

georgia, alex or I can spot for you. You've probably left already, I'll ask alex whats up and go from there. Use the phone if you get this.

kazuo · 08-05-2003, 10:41 PM

thx247: Tell Georgia its cool and she can cough up the cash at the door. Its cool cus I know she's good for it!!

Everyone else... start paying up!! I already have a bunch of people who have paid up so you guys better start paying, or you're out of luck!!!

thx247 · 08-05-2003, 11:24 PM

me and halz are good for the money lol. Just to lazy to call you guys and set something up...=)

georgia is in mexico now so no contact with her, she left by the time i called. I'm sure she'll be happy to find shes covered when she gets back.

I dunno, ill try calling this number someone emailed me awhile back...setup a money drop.

aeontony · 08-06-2003, 01:53 AM

I wanted to go..but I am headed off to Japan this Thursday. Hopefully another one will be organized after my car is done =)

kazuo · 08-06-2003, 02:08 AM

werd dude. i do accept paypal. otherwise you might wanna call Chris B. and drop off money to him, unelss yall wanna come up to Frisco. He's going out of town this weekend until the middle of next week, so get in touch with him sooner than layter.

i had actually e-mailed Georgia but she never got back to me... otherwise i woulda told her it was gravy train.

hope to see you two cats there... we're up to six paid participants, if I count Georgia =)

you two would make eight. i had one paid person who had to bail due to unforseen circumstances.. :/
