remembder guys they are inaccurate upto .4 of a second at worst, .2-.3 on average  :P

What a load of hot c0ck!! have you got one??? we proved that set-up right they are accurate within 0.02 and 0.1 MPH. Dont believe me then ask 2rismo and Bu5ter as i proved it to them at Compak Attak.

by the way...we use a pro RR as we like the data logging functions it has.

i used the data logging one a few weeks ago, seemed quite accurate, only did 0-100 though since we were on public roads.

also the rev counter function is not quite correct, it sensed 7000rpm when we were really at around 6000rpm, so started flashing all its shift lights too early, but who cares about that function anyway...

also tried an older one with the small red display (its in my glovebox atm) and even if calibrated correctly sometimes it comes up with whacky figures which are way off ie more than a second or two!

maybe i should try them both at the same time..

  • 4 weeks later...

dont these devices rely on you knowing the exact laiden weight of the vihicle, if this is so then you would need some sort of weight station to get an accurate figure rather then guessing, aswell as that the cars wieght is also changed +/- 50kg due to petrol

just my thoughts on posible inacuracies

I have the original red LED display model and for 400m testing weight is not needed to be entered as it measures G force to calculate your time.

Entering weight was only needed if you wanted it to calculate horsepower.

With the original model I had the hardest thing was to get it to sit correctly which would give inconsistent times if not 100% level on the windscreen.

I read a review in Zoom I think and they mentioned this problem had been eliminated and accuracy was pretty good too with the latest models.

And if people want to weigh there cars I have never been charged on a weigh bridge as I dont want a printout.

I just drive on, look at the weight,and drive off.

buy an rsm sharky ..it does 1/4s(if u buy gsensor) .. rpm ..speed.. voltage and for 270bucks ..i seen cheaper this week on ns.com for like 240 ..... much better unit i reckon for hte money.....the gtech stuff is pretty expensive and pretty vague in terms of results.

and then when your sorted buy a motorbike helmet and hit the strip..

Hi guys wanting to know if you could help me?

I Want to buy a GTEC PRO for my R32 GTS-t but idont know which one would fit?

the GTEC PRO SS or GTEC PRO RR and whats the difference?????

Please help.

Cheers  

Daniel

Daniel,

I have a RR model GTech. I would strongly recommend this model over the SS. It will do all that the SS can do plus will handle data logging on the circuit.

The RR will record two hours worth of data at a logging rate of 20Hz which includes rpm, lateral & longitudinal gees & can then be downloaded to your PC. So it is a great data logger for a track day.

Also the RR will record quarter mile times, 0 - 100, acceleration & braking gees for when you want to practice launches, check the efficacy of engine mods or even measure your braking efforts.

I can't recommend these things highly enough.

Have a look at my photos thing on the left for some screen dumps of some laps around Wanneroo short circuit. (Gtech is on the windscreen) Unfortunately the installation wasn't quite right & the data is upside down (ie left is really right & braking is really acceleration). But you can see how the thing works.

You can overlay your laptimes & if you lend you Gtech to your mates you can compare the cars various strengths & weaknesses.

I got mine on Ebay & paid < $500.

Go get one, they are unreal.

:uh-huh: :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

    • You're not wrong, but more than a few times I've heard of people running into issues where their injector characterization isn't quite right and that approach works for that specific configuration but once they switch over to a new set they discover a whole bunch of stuff wasn't set up correctly. It's slightly more annoying to reverse engineer the OEM MAF transfer function but you already have the sensor wired up to the factory harness so keeping it around for a few weeks more while you figure out the tune is easy enough. I've seen GM also use a combination of both MAF + MAP in their ECUs before, MAF is for steady state and a calculation of the cylinder VE to correct the base VE table, then in transients it uses that calculated VE + raw MAP to determine cylinder filling somehow.
    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard
