I've been using them for a number of years now, and have not had any issues with them. My current setup is a DL1 (6G,Gyro, 20Hz GPS), Dash3 and Video4. I have also used the Dash2 in a prior car, and would have used it in the current car but it would not fit properly.

the are quiet fiddly at the start but once you get the hang of it and set it all up it performs well. Prices have dropped a bit which is nice for those looking at them now but factor in a good amount of time spent to install it properly.

Mine was one of the first of the new versions i think that came out with the serial port in the rear, it had some problems with the sat's in the sth hemisphere and how it was set up so had to be sent back to the UK.

I have the Dash 2 with sensors for Ambient and intake temps, water exit temp, engine oil temp, diff oil temp, oil pressure, TPS, wired up the brake pedal switch as well.

I am running a power fc so are not able to use some of the new functions they have come out with the cables that log everything from the ECU but this can save a heap of hassle.

Accuracy is very good and with the 20hz and going through the right start log procedure i find i have very minimal walking with the gps aerial sitting on the dash of the car.

I have just seen the new products coming from Race Technology for 2011, if you are looking at getting a Data Logger, it might be worth waiting for a little while, I believe the the official release will be by the end of the month.

I have one. A little underwhelmed to be honest.

Share your problems, i have had a few in setting up and running. Even had to send back to the UK.

Do tell? You can't throw a line out and not put some detail out.

I can't release a lot of information, technically I should not have seen half of the gear that I did see.

DL1, more ports and SD cards now, USB connectivity, switched output ports, new faster processor.

DL1Pro, Mil spec connectors and water resistant case.

DL2 has some hardware updates, more major ones later in the year.

Dash 4 Pro, a fully configurable dash along the lines of the Motec MDD.

There is also a number of incremental upgrades to other products in their range.

Well that all sounds (& is) good but it doesn't count for much when you cant pick up satellites or the auto start feature doesn't work on half the functions. Or for that matter you send it back to get fixed & they pronounce it fine when it just isn't.

Anyway fingers crossed the new ones will be better.

Hi,

I've had a DL1 for nearly 9 years and love it.

More data anaylsis options in the software than I know what to do with. GPS can be a bit latent to pick up satelites at Phillip Island sometimes. I have the 5hz antenna from years ago so should upgrade.

The best piece of equipment I have ever owned to reduce lap times.

      Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching

      Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.

      Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
