is it good ??

i just want something that will accuratly record the basics it provides... goto be accurate though.. none of this .5 second crap i been hearing from some places ??

u'll use it every now and again i do, but if you buying to read the horsepower thingy that doesnt work to good especially with turbos! doh' but its a little tricky to use when you first get but read the instructions and its easy enuf. for instance you have to have it right in the middle of you windscreen and exactly straight but its easy to figure out when its straight it has a little reading on there to tell you when its staight and when its is you just press the enter button and away you go! :P

I've had occasion to play with one in my car, and its OK. Screen's a bit narrow but it seems accurate enough.

The guy I borrowed it from ran it in his S13. The "hp" measurement is actually impressively accurate. There was only a 5% difference between what he pulled on the Unigroup dyno and what the G-Tech calculated (he used the official weight out of the service manual, plus an estimate for his own weight, so the error margin could even have come from the fact that he didn't properly weigh his vehicle).

If I wasn't looking at buying one of these in the future, I'd probably get a modern G-Tech Pro SS.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
