Got it done fast? It took me 8hrs solid sitting on the couch with my laptop yesterday to do that. Thats hardly fast!

One day the club will get a massive sponsor and we'll get those tricky timing systems they use for Dutton where eveything is done automatically into a laptop and people get their times SMS'd to them instantly.

And I can spend my Sunday sleeping off the hangover.

I want to particularly congratulate Team Purple - Fern & Geoff, you really did well out there. Was great to see you give both Snows and Chris a run for their money.

Excellent work.

Golgo would be proud :happy:

:sad: Can someone please email me the results, as these types of links don't work on my computer for some stupid reason.

Firefox downloaded it for me as some stupid ipb file or something. Renaming it to a PDF worked sweet, try that.

Not that I have any reason to look at the results ;)

You would think that in this day and age with so much electronic and computer WiFi stuff around cheap that it should not be to hard to come up with some ideas on how we could make this a reality.

Anyone like to think about this as I am sure its not too hard...

Thanks Dave!!

Looks like i was mis-informed by Sam about my time on the Long Wang ;)

Still was a great improvement from my results at the previous DECAs :biggrin:

In may i will be fitting my semi comps, all i need then is a less laggier turbo :)

Good work with the results snowy I wasnt expecting them till later in the week and the format is tops.

Well done to everyone elles involved. The day was a hell of a lot of fun and run profesionaly. I cant wait till the next one.

Cheers,

Adam

u did really well considering ur still getting used to the turbo

Guess I have to reply to my own post as no-one else looks like they are going to :huh:

OK - since asking the question, I have come up with the ANSWER!! At virtually NO COST!

Works like this -( I wont bother to patent this as it's just too obvious ) :laugh:

I will say I am going off a bit half cocked -so to speak, here - but the concept seems sound and the proof is not far away - stay tuned.

Yeah i'm confused how you get the times from the cars... ?

Getting the times from a laptop with bluetooth to phones probably wouldn' tbe to hard.

I just think an automated timing system would be way too much a pain in the ass to design and get working, because you'd have a lot of angry drivers if you say 'your times didn't get recorded that session because a bug in my code cause it to crash' haha

No we used them for Dutton. They were easy. Simply had a laptop at each starting gate where the competitors number was entered then off you went.

Basically they were timing gates similar to these:

But that might be an overkill. If we can punch times directly into a laptop rather than writting them down - and people then get the results straight away that would be pretty cool.

    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
