Well if you don't manage to get it changed it may still be worth going to the dyno as they run the coupes in 3rd gear. The chances are it won't slip as the rollers don't load the transmission/engine as much as the road, unless it's slipping really bad that is. My graph from last time said they ran it in 4th gear, just for info. Could have been a typo tho

According to the SXOC site they have 6 X 200's running on the day and a couple of "others" to be tacked on at the end of the day. Should still be a good day and some of our members can probably get on the rollers a bit earlier.

My slot is officially 11am but I'm aiming to be there 10am at the latest, so I don't mind swapping about a bit if it makes the day run more smoothly

I will aim to get there a bit earlier, as based on previous meetings the guys at DD push people through quite swiftly.

Check your oil ETC! (as per guide.) Just done that tonight - including the transaxle (got a few leaks going on down below!). Coupe is cleaned & ready to go - but I have a noise on start up which is concerning me. Bit of a "chiruping" noise - which goes away after a bit. Have had the odd misfire too - but she's going fine & everything looks OK. Anyone got any ideas or willing to have a quick peek under the bonnet tomorrow?? Could be dirty plugs or maybe a loose pipe somewhere (I hope that it's somethign that simple & not anything major!)? See you all tomorrow.

My one has chirped on cold and damp morning since I did the aux belt, stops within about 1 second so I expect it will go away, similar sound to what I had immediately after Rog did my belts in the summer and that quietened down gritty fast.
Misfire: could be time for new plugs but cold plugs will fowl easier in the cold weather.

Well - I reckon this will start yet another dyno discussion
Despite having posted very close to 400bhp at Powerstation at the end of January, I'm now down to 326bhp (276 @ wheels).
I'm really not at all sure about Dyno demon's methods - both mine and Lucifer's cars suffered clutch slip on the rollers 9they ran it in 3rd gear). My Helix organic is perhaps 20,000 miles old and never slips on the road (I used 1.8 bar on the way up there). Lucifer's Helix Organic was fitted by Motormech three weeks ago. Go figure.
I asked them to run mine in 4th, but it then span the wheels slightly, which will have contributed to the lack of power.
However, other cars made the expected power - MABR was spot on and a couple of other near-standard Coupes gave 220 - 230 bhp
So - are they loading the rollers more or is it simply a case of different rollers, different day, different results?
EDIT - Having said all that, I've just checked my Powerstation graph, and I ran 287 @ wheels, so maybe there isn't that much difference after all.

For FWD, I always allow 15%-20% losses, so your 326bhp Nigel, looks spot on. I always thought RR's tend to give higher figures, then true road power.Again, its down to the accuracy of the RR, and the percentage losses through transmission, tyres etc, that the operator decides is warranted. But I am seeing time and again on this site, that our humble Coupe has good and bad days. Figures seem to go up and down like a yoyo, even on the same rollers!! Very strange! Andy.

Thanks guys, it was nice to meet you all, hope you enjoyed your ass whoopin by the old Datsun gang Our results thread including a table with all results can be found at: http://sxoc.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=394711Re the results, I really cant comment for your cars, but for 200's, Dynodemon have always been pretty much spot on when compared to other Dynodynamics RR's for the 3 shootouts we've had there... obviously all compared in Shootout mode
