Hi,

I did a search for dynolicious and couldn't find anything so forgive me if its been mentioned already.

Dynolicious

From the site.

* 0-60 Acceleration

* 1/4 Mile Elapsed Time

* Lateral G's

* Horsepower

If you have an Iphone its a cheap ($15.99) way to see some fairly accurate(?) stats for your car. Just do a search for dynolicious in the app store.

It does not have metric units in it so far, but I think it will be very popular and will get a metric option down the track.

Check out the screenshots page

EDIT: Just playing with the app now, you can put multiple cars into it, you get to put a photo for your car from the camera's photos. You also get to add mods to see before and after results. It has mounting instructions in the app.

The only testing ive been able to do so far is to swing it about to get to to measure g's and things which is making me look like an idiot in the office :blink:

Must work in a simliar way to a g-tech, accuracy will depend on the quality of the accelerometer in the i-phone. And a g-tech is accurate to aboutn 1/10 of a second they say.

Even if it isnt accurate (but it should be ok), it should be consistant, if you get what i mean. So good for comparing before and after. But i dont find the horsepower tool on my g-tech very useful, so i doubt you will on ur iphone.

Very nice little program...you essentially get a basic g-tech for a fraction of the price,

post ur times up

Or if you have a symbian S60 phone you can get that and more by using an ap called race chrono found here --> http://www.racechrono.com/ which is 100% free.

Thanks TiTAN.. hadnt heard of this before..

I have downloaded and installed it with the latest firmware onto my 6110 navigator, and ill let you guys know how it goes once i give it a run..

Hrmm, wonder whether GPS or accelerometer would be more accurate.. And if someone could make one for the iPhone that uses both for accuracy haha.

A 1hz GPS won't be accurate for standing start stuff because it only updates once a second.... a 5hz would be a bit better, a combination of both GPS and accelerometer would be good.

That is gold!! How do you know if your S60 symbian mob has an accelerometer or not, was thinking of getting a samsung G810, not sure if it has one though, would love something like that if it could data map stuff.

Don't worry, just saw it on the list for the 3rd edition... Pays to actually read links

N95 is S60 with acceleromter

ive got one on mine called TEMPES.GTX

its pretty average. i'm sure racechrono works on N95 too, but it has too many options for my liking.

i'm guessing Dynolicious will be ported to S60 before too long.

Dynolicious is pretty cool but only ported to iPhone at the moment as far as I know.

Can't wait to get my car back on Monday to give it a proper go. Tried it out in my friends Golf GTi today and was pretty impressed. I am sure it's not 100% re power readings but still a cool novelty! Nice to play with between hands of Texas Hold-em :)

On another note, thoroughly impressed with the GTi, drove it out to the airport today and it was a good drive. Pretty quick stock out of the box :rolleyes:

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
