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.

      And 90% of the time those people turn out to be wrong anyway. But they still treat themselves as a victim...

      I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
