Here's a little video recorded on our new RadCam using the Qstarz and Dashware software

I went for a RaceChrono Pro unit from http://racechrono.com.au/

I'm happy to show anyone what this thing is capable of if you're considering buying one :D

This looks awesome. Can use it for the bike as well, and easy to read screen at a good price. Even has all the australian tracks already programmed or ready to download.

Any negatives?

Looks like this will be my christmas present to myself.

The new Qstarz LT Q6000 is probably better suited to motorcycles as it's completely self contained single box and requires no wiring or fitting. It just has a simple mount for attachment to handlebars.

Heya a20089 :)

I'm pretty impressed with it thus far!

It does everything I need and a few extra cool things to boot.

My only possible negative is that I keep forgetting where some of the options are within the menus. Not general stuff like starting a new session, but things like adding a split marker etc I find them eventually, but to be fair, I've only done it a few times and am still learning my way around the menus. A few more runs and I'm sure I'll have it down pat, but it isn't 'iPhone intuitive', but then what is?!

I recommend having a look at these if you're in the market for a lap timer, ESPECIALLY if it's to be used on a streetable car/bike ;) The timing options are plain dangerous to your licence whistling.gif

If you guys have a Android phone and are after a fairly accurate and cheap way of measuring lap times then download the app called "Trackmaster"

It's really useful, can add in sector times etc and export all the data to excel for graphing and comparisons. I found it to be within 0.1sec of official lap times even using the internal 1hz GPS of my Samsung mobile.

As others have said 1hz GPS updating does suck a bit, I'm looking for a cheap bluetooth GPS at 5hz but they all seem to be a few hundred each?!? So I'm very happy with my well spent $10 so far :)

I use the GPS set up MoTeC developed for the SDL (dash logger).

You key into to the dash manager on your lappy the way points of the start/finish line of the track you're at and any splits you want.

The times, splits and laps are logged and also displayed (depending on how you want it displayed) on the SDL... so too are predictive times.

Cheap too at under $400 (from memory)... you just need to spend $15k on the MoTeC setup first!!

I just upgraded my RaceTechnology dash to a 20Hz GPS... Now I just need to get to a track and test it...

The first test car we ran it in had a self ejecting cigarette lighter and the memory cards were in the wrong file format.

I have been thinking about this myself recently- thinking of buying one of these and testing it out;

http://www.ebay.com....=item3a64068682

For that price, if it doesn't work - who cares!

I bought the latest version with the remote pickup

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bestlap-lap-timer-infrared-ultrared-racing-track-day-V2-/200753923595?pt=Race_Car_Parts&hash=item2ebdddc60b&vxp=mtr

It works fine - lap times to two decimal places and stores each lap time for recall - no other features but fine for $60

It also works with the more expensive beacons so if any one else has a beacon at the track you can run off that instead if you want.

Third, same. Looks like a really good unit too!

There's a new firmware update out for the LTQ6000 that now allows you to use it as a rally trip meter. Used it at Targa nd it worked brilliantly. It logs and records all your stage times etc and you chancheck out speeds, track map etc.

    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.  
    • Nice, let me know how you find the 98 tune
