ok going back awhile ago one my mates had this thing that looked like a gps (stuck on the window of your car and pluged in too your ciga lighter) and it gave you rought 1/4 mile times and 0 - 100 kms and a few other things , they where not 100% but close enough.

my question is WTF is it called i cant think of the name of it and where can you buy them?

thanks

if anyone has a Nokia then go onto OVI Store and there is one on there that you can download onto the phone.

It is called RACECHROMO and it was a free download.

it does 1/4 mile, 1000metres, 1 mile, 0-60mph, 0-100kph,0-200kph ( now that would be interesting :blink: )80-120kph plus a few more.

Plus it does laptiming as well.

Cool app.

they are called a G-TECH.

Called a G-Tech Pro

Found here http://www.gtechpro.com/

G-Tech Pro SS or RR sounds like it...you can buy them off eBay for a couple hundred these days.

Nothing beats the original, superseded LED G-Tech though...I used to sell them for $100 each. They were very small and surprisingly accurate as long as you kept your end of the bargain when it came to choosing a flat road.

all these things that i have found to be horribly innaccurate. i've mentioned it on here before about the iphone one. i was steering my mates VL, GT35R, nistune, 700cc injectors etc, had the thing flat out for over 20sec before the iphone decided we had completed a 1/4 mile

find a quiet road, measure out 400m, do runs with a stop watch. most people dont realise just how close you can get it yourself, think about it, if you mark two clear lines on the road, you should be able to hit the button to start/stop within a tenth or so of where you should be...

I dunno about the iphone app etc, but many people have tested RSM's and found them to be within a tenth or so of their times on the strip.

Considering it intercepts your computers speed and revs and uses a g sensor to correct, it should be fairly reliable.

exactly. the only ways it will give false readings is from slightly different tyre sizes and if you get wheelspin as it will count that as distance travelled.

It even has a setting the enter your tire sizes to make it accurate again :D And I think the g sensor stops it from counting distance when you are doing xxkm/h but not pulling the g's to match

    • My thought is if you were just moving it forward and the upstream geometry remained the same, then no difference at all. But because the current one has the filter direct into the AFM inlet, you effectively have the best chance of a completely symmetric air flow profile upstream, and in, the AFM, whilst the aftermarket inlet thingo has a (small, to be sure) bend between the filter and the AFM. That would bias the flow to the outside of the bend (downstream of the bend) which might well reduce the size of the signal seen by the AFM, for the same total flow rate. Having said that: If you're proposing to make your inlet look like a hybrid of your existing one and the aftermarket one, such that there is no bend where the filter is clamped on... then I say it will be just fine. If there is going to be such a bend, then, if you can align the insertion of the AFM blade such that it is at right angles to the plane of the bend, then there is a better than even chance that the centreline velocity where the blade is will remain more or less the same, and the velocity will just be a little faster to the outside of that, and just a little slower to the inside. **This is not professional investment advice and you should consult a suitably qualified ouija board, tea leaves or the intestines of a goat for more accurate prognostication.
    • Hi Tao, Thanks for your reply.  It's been a while and I managed to get the valve stem seals replaced with the head on the car.  Unfortunately this didn't solve my issue, the car still smokes a lot after idling (to be honest during idle you can see a bit of blue smoke from the exhaust), same after deceleration. I will try disconnecting the valve cover breathers, do I leave the PCV valve in? By engine oil drain pipe, do you mean the turbo oil drain?
    • What about if you just give it direct 12v and earth?
    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
