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?

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.

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Nothing beats the original, superseded LED G-Tech though...I used to sell them for $100 each.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

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
