Reason why i ask is because ive got one on my R33 and i recorded a 13.02 & 13.00 and everyone is telling me that my 33 cant do those kinda times and that it must be totally out.

Ive checked the speedo on the RSM and it seems fine. the speedo on the dash is wrong but the RSM is right.

Are they 100% acurate? or just total garbage and im really doing 14's or something ?

It even said 4.77 0-100 on a good launch.....

I have the older Apexi one, not the Blue screened one...

anyone have one of these and recorded it while at the strip to compare times ???

anyone have any ideas how to make sure they are accurate? (i dont have a drag strip available where i live)

does yours have g-force sensor or just use wheel speed? With wheel speed only, anytime your wheels are spinning its inaccurate - think of how quickly the wheels can cover 400 m if they spinning, and how much less distance you'll actually have covered.

I used to have an AP22 which uses g-forcs to calcualte accurate figure. G-tech is similar, and I understand there is an add-on available for RSM to do the same.

They're not that accurate unless you get the G sensor, and still yet is a little off. It's not as good as going to the track and getting time slips there. That's where you can brag about your times and back it up solid.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
