How many of you have used this app before?

is it accurate enough or is it just that its accurate enough for its price?

How much of a difference does it make if you enter the wrong weight into it? Since it wants you to account for luggage, petrol and passengers i doubt I could be spot on.

Do you have to keep going until you hit a certain speed for it to work?

If I just took it from 0-100 on a country road would that give me the readings?

Any information about it would be helpful, I want to be able to take these figures as not off by much and use this app to compare some of my mates cars with mine.

Dont get any of the cheapo rubbish apps, they are beyond crap. I've got Dynolicious for the Ipod touch, its on the blackberry too. Works brilliantly well, i've always got the right sorts of figures with mine, an american car magazine compared it with a G-Tech (purpose built accelerometer measuring tool) and found it to be more accurate. They also took a car to the track and found the rwkw on the app was within 3kw of the actual dyno figure.

Remember with all accelerometer based devices the device has to be kept perfectly still, preferably a holder stuck to the car otherwise it wont be at all accurate.

mate had one on his phone, so while taking his car for a drive he tells me to stop and do a run (he doesnt have a licence so i drive his car). apparently a VLT with gt35r/r33 5 speed/nistune on ET streets takes 20+ secs to cover 400m... shit we got some speed up lol **moderator approved and sanctioned racetrack of course**

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/

      Anyone know this frontpipe?

      The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.

      As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers.

      Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
