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.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By JC71 · Posted

      all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
