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.

Hi, Matt and Andrew

Planning to go with Haltech Platnium 2000 Pro and the highest Racetech dash with the lot to upgrade my GTR33 track car ( will get going with the Power FC dejetro and Nismo dash and gauges to sort out the car first)

would love to get user info with the Racetech dash. Got a Platinium Pro test unit from Haltech, very happy with its performance, no problem cold starting some race engines. +1

cheers

BTW, lost Matt contact info, can you pm, me please. waiting for the Easter at Eastern creek entry forms. not sure if I'll enter a car or 2 for world time attack in Aug 5/6 fri/sat, it is the same weekend as PI 6 hrs regularity sat/sun. will go to Bathurst drive in Nov. love to catch up with Matt

Sorry, mistake. I mean Racepak data logger IQ3 or MXL track/ pro. market by Haltech

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
