Hehe our GSR2000 equivalent, 200sx makes 8.1 here

But I'm pretty sure it is the road conditions and gas quality hehe

road conditions + gas quality + ****ty service at dealerships + tons and tons off things that influence that result...

Haha true but this is why you never take the car to stealerships

im a slow learner.......

Actually, if you want to be specific about it, you should only pay attention to the forces, as they are the only thing it actually measures (unless you are grabbing data from ECU too). Everything it tells you based on them is the computer's calculation, which can be accurate, or it can not, and it will be hard for you to know. The forces should really be more useful to you than any of the other numbers anyways, since that is really what makes the car move.

sooo getting this, looks like fun

Haha good point, but I don't think I can calculate things out, while driving, as fast LOL

But good point, I did take a turn at .50 G's and it was a bit wet, felt the tires getting some sliding haha.



It's not too bad hehe. I wish I could mount it else where, but right now it has to be in the front and stretch the power cable down to the cigarette lighter.

I need to now redo the cigarette lighter to be close to the steering wheel haha

Data logging FTW

Wow this thread is blowing up!!

Vadim,you can hardwire it,like I did my radar detector.
I bet if you called Bel,they have a hardwire kit.
You might be able to use the same one as my Escort Radar detector uses,since Bel is owned by Escort now anyway.It relocates the button for mute that is on the plug to antwhere in the car
Just a suggestion.I wired 3 cars with the hardwire for my radar so I can just take the detector from car to car.Then I have the cig lighter plug so if I borrow a car or recently I used it in a rental.

Haha good point, I only found the data logging cable on Amazong, about $35 shipped.

The cable is a Serial cable so an adapter will be needed .

I believe they did mention something about hard wiring in the manual hehe!

The cigarette lighter has a button for scrolling through menu's and for starting a timed run.. It is annoying that you have to hold the button for 3 seconds to start a timed run though...

One thing I noticed that I don't like, to get an HP reading you need to do a timed run. To do a timed run you need to be dead still, press the start button, let it calibrate (you better be on leveled ground), then as soon as you go it will start timing.

I think I can get in o 7 seconds flat 0-60 if I can improve my start times with this device. In real life my start times are way better then when I have to look out for cars and have to stand dead still before I start the timed run hehe
