Adam 33 Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I don't know what they are called but they are an electrical device that can sense and give you a 1/4 mile reading but i can't find anything about them. If anyone has one that they can recomend or knows any info about it could ya give me a yell.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 There are a couple of things available. The APEX'i RSM (Rev Speed Meter) will provide speed, revs, trip computer, battery voltage, 1/4mile, 0-100km/hr etc. I have one of these and they work well and look cool. They can also provide power figures if you have the additional g-sensors attached. The other thing is called a "G-Tech", I think, and provides accurate details on 1/4mile, 0-100's etc. I would think that most Jap tuning shops could provide you with either.

GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I think the APEX'i RSM is worth $400, and the additional G-sensors (not really needed) $100.

Lepperfish Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 I have the rsm with g force sensor and pulled 1.25G L/R and 0.95G on accleration... :uh-huh: Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/7532-looking-for-a-14-mile-thingy/#findComment-110573 Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTS-t VSPEC Posted December 17, 2002 Share Posted December 17, 2002 Lepperfish, The benefit of the g-sensors is that they correct for wheelspin and provide a rough reading of power output. Although you can get readings of the g-forces exerted in each direction, but by themselves they don't provide much info.

ix9 Posted December 18, 2002 Share Posted December 18, 2002 I'd go for the RSM myself... only coz I have one Blue screen, batt voltage and all the other stuff gtst-vspec mentioned. top product. I got mine for $360 no G-sensors yet. you can monitor 4 channels of information aswell, all at once. batt, spead, trip, rev, all that kinda stuff... and it's got the shift-lite functionality also.. I got a blue LED on the dash that the RSM controls. also has speed alert and a host of other goodies... some people pay $400 for a tacho with shift light.. the rsm can do it all.. -K.

Guest TTZ32 Posted December 23, 2002 Share Posted December 23, 2002 Most accurate is a Calitec, used to be made by a dude in Sydney I think. Gives 0-60, 0-80, 0-100, 60' with speed in MPH and KPH, 1/4 and speed in MPH and KPH, or you can program it to measure 1/8 mile. Also has two trip meters. Uses magnets on an undriven wheel, and has a G sensor. VERY accurate and repeatable. He was selling them for about $250, but couldn't compete against the Guess-tec and stopped making them. I've had one for about 5 years now and it's really helped me get consistant launches and ET's.
