hey all,

just watching one of the 'high octane' movies and over in japan they where comparing a couple of tuned cars on a 1/4 mile time with a g tech pro.

has anyone used these, or tested its accuracy of the 1/4 mile while doing a 1/4 mile?

cheers robbie

great little tool if you don't have access top a drag strip!! :P

They were a little pricey some years back (G-Tech)...wonder if they're more accessible now?

They are purely 'indicative' of an actual figure though....not an exact science, obviously...(make sure the G-TECH is mounted correctly and is allowed to 'self-cal'.)

But the main thing is that they can really only provide a controlled test, for you only, ...you really can't compare readings to other cars, properly.

eg...YOU modify something on YOUR ride,...G-TECH can provide some info on improvements YOU"VE made...(on that basis alone they can make a great 'tuning' assistance tool)

Good, fun little units, that are driven by a cigarette lighter...(the one I borrowed anyway!..a long time ago!)

If you can get and older one cheap...get it!...you won't lose anything...they look pretty cool too.

If memory serves, they have heaps of additional 'timing/performance' functions, based on math and internally preset formula.

I use a G-tech pro rr...it comes with a handy software package and is very accurate if calibrated correctly.

When at the track i weigh the car and enter the figure into the calibration...this is important to get it reading right.

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
