I've been using them for a number of years now, and have not had any issues with them. My current setup is a DL1 (6G,Gyro, 20Hz GPS), Dash3 and Video4. I have also used the Dash2 in a prior car, and would have used it in the current car but it would not fit properly.

the are quiet fiddly at the start but once you get the hang of it and set it all up it performs well. Prices have dropped a bit which is nice for those looking at them now but factor in a good amount of time spent to install it properly.

Mine was one of the first of the new versions i think that came out with the serial port in the rear, it had some problems with the sat's in the sth hemisphere and how it was set up so had to be sent back to the UK.

I have the Dash 2 with sensors for Ambient and intake temps, water exit temp, engine oil temp, diff oil temp, oil pressure, TPS, wired up the brake pedal switch as well.

I am running a power fc so are not able to use some of the new functions they have come out with the cables that log everything from the ECU but this can save a heap of hassle.

Accuracy is very good and with the 20hz and going through the right start log procedure i find i have very minimal walking with the gps aerial sitting on the dash of the car.

I have just seen the new products coming from Race Technology for 2011, if you are looking at getting a Data Logger, it might be worth waiting for a little while, I believe the the official release will be by the end of the month.

I have one. A little underwhelmed to be honest.

Share your problems, i have had a few in setting up and running. Even had to send back to the UK.

Do tell? You can't throw a line out and not put some detail out.

I can't release a lot of information, technically I should not have seen half of the gear that I did see.

DL1, more ports and SD cards now, USB connectivity, switched output ports, new faster processor.

DL1Pro, Mil spec connectors and water resistant case.

DL2 has some hardware updates, more major ones later in the year.

Dash 4 Pro, a fully configurable dash along the lines of the Motec MDD.

There is also a number of incremental upgrades to other products in their range.

Well that all sounds (& is) good but it doesn't count for much when you cant pick up satellites or the auto start feature doesn't work on half the functions. Or for that matter you send it back to get fixed & they pronounce it fine when it just isn't.

Anyway fingers crossed the new ones will be better.

Hi,

I've had a DL1 for nearly 9 years and love it.

More data anaylsis options in the software than I know what to do with. GPS can be a bit latent to pick up satelites at Phillip Island sometimes. I have the 5hz antenna from years ago so should upgrade.

The best piece of equipment I have ever owned to reduce lap times.

Hi, Matt and Andrew

Planning to go with Haltech Platnium 2000 Pro and the highest Racetech dash with the lot to upgrade my GTR33 track car ( will get going with the Power FC dejetro and Nismo dash and gauges to sort out the car first)

would love to get user info with the Racetech dash. Got a Platinium Pro test unit from Haltech, very happy with its performance, no problem cold starting some race engines. +1

cheers

BTW, lost Matt contact info, can you pm, me please. waiting for the Easter at Eastern creek entry forms. not sure if I'll enter a car or 2 for world time attack in Aug 5/6 fri/sat, it is the same weekend as PI 6 hrs regularity sat/sun. will go to Bathurst drive in Nov. love to catch up with Matt

Sorry, mistake. I mean Racepak data logger IQ3 or MXL track/ pro. market by Haltech

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      If it's magnetic what is stopping you from using a magnet on a thin wire from fishing it out?

      Shifting questions

      By dbm7 · Posted

      Those 2 solenoids in that assembly I mention, are the PWM solenoids for torque converter lock-up clutch & EPC (line pressure control) ~ when most folks hear of 'solenoid failure', the tendency is to think electrical failure...but fact of the matter is, especially wrt the EPC solenoid (which is moving/running all the time), you can have an electrically 'good' solenoid, that's absolutely broken/worn out mechanically inside...ie; valve plunger return spring rubbing against spring retainer plate, lowering preload pressure.. ...and the solenoid armature extension limit spring wafer with bad wear/broken off petals... ...and if there's ever been any metal flying about, damage to the valve plunger end itself... ...the stuff one never really sees, unless you go the whole 10yards trying to answer the question "why is my line pressure screwy, but TCU isn't flagging any EPC solenoid fault?"...and carefully dissect the solenoid. Worst (and most probable) scenario is when the plate spring petals break off, they get held by the magnetic flux, get mashed up by the armature into little bits, which end up in the space between the armature & shading core bore, and things get stuck or randomly jam up, and your line pressure goes flat and doesn't change...and the TCU never sees it, as it doesn't actively monitor LP... ..then it gets into insidious land, if you end up with lower than expected line pressure...lets say high clutch..and the lower pressure causes it to slip ~ when I say 'slip', think say 2000rpm on the drive plates, and 1800rpm on the driven plates, because the slip is making them under-rotate by 200rpm ; you get all the usual nasties like heat and band/clutch wear, but even if it's only 20rpm slip the same thing happens...and... you'll hardly ever pick this up driving the thing with the torque converter active as it effectively masks these sorts of slippages that are line pressure related ...(the newer TCUs can detect clutch slip rate)...just  FYI as it were...

      RB20 in need of modest love injection

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Hey guys, so Golebys has good prices on Bosch injectors, and also sell an adaptor to go from 1/2 length injector to standard with the Nissan 10.5mm top seal.  Does anyone know if that adaptor is to suit the 14mm or 11mm injector tops?  And re. The bottom seal, to suit my standard RB20 intake, would I be right in saying I can just slip the 14mm square section O ring over the bottom of the new injector and done? Thanks in advance guy, Cheers, Rowdy

      Magnetic Drain Plug Snapped in Half

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      F my life. I was changing the oil on my R32 GTR today as usual and ran into a bit of a snag. I drained the oil out and was getting ready to finish the job by tightening the drain plug, however The stupid magnetic oil drain plug snapped in half, right at the magnet part. After about an hour of trying to remove it, I used a drill bit, which unfortunately pushed the magnet all the way into the pan, and just leaving the hollow threaded part of the bolt remaining. I was able to remove the hollow portion of the bolt from the oil pan with some pliers but the magnet is still in there.  So, the question is, should I drop the oil pan to get the magnet piece out, or is it okay to leave it in there? I really dont want to drop the pan, i'm about to go nuts.  PSA: Do NOT buy a BLOX magnetic drain plug. This is the one i had.    https://bloxracing.com/products/magnetic-oil-drain-plug-m12x1-25mm?variant=37131252859052&country=US&currency=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw47i_BhBTEiwAaJfPpgti1D2JwO7TDuMpXuqeQPCuIQSAfwxpWQH5rF9MD7sm5SCZDWLR_RoC_YoQAvD_BwE
