Sweet, I have transferred the money to you today. Looks like the list in the first post is full so Im on the reserve list?

i think there are a couple who can't make it so I'll swap you in for one of them

DRD-OOF send me a pm mate and we will arrange a swap for your spot

great for first timers

probably the best day to go on if you are a firts timer

you can go out and do passenger laps to learn bad habbits from the faster people

Best bad habits are learnt from Fatz and Neil...

Just updated Harry's Lap Timer on my iPhone and marulan is now on the track list. Nice!

What is this so called lap timer Dave???

By that logic I'm racing right now.

Its the only racing you'll be doing now that you're skyline-less.

+1 For Harrys Lap Timer. Best time was 46.13 last Fatz day, but i now have R888s instead of RSRs, a tensioned strut brace and an extra degree of neg camber on the front, so should be faster.

SHOULD be faster mr stabby hehehehe

Matt do a search for Harry's lap timer at the iTunes App Store. Free version is all ya need.

Oh and yes I believe you can get it for the android as well

Thanks mate, will do! Any testing in comparison to actual timing to check accuracy? Not that it matters for me as it probably doesnt record hours :laugh:

It's not too bad, sometimes drops out randomly but all in all not bad.

At wakie I was getting within 1/4-1/2 a second of official timers (Dorians etc) so for free it pretty good.

At least gives you an idea on wether you are improving

Sounds damn good! I guess as long as you have decent 3G connection?

Yeah pretty much, you can use a Tom Tom iPhone adapter for a better GPS lock if you wanna get serious but I would just just buy a proper timer if you were gonna do that.

Edit: there's a lot trees at marulan which dosent help with the GPS

Looks like harrys lap timer is in development for android, not released yet. I have grabbed racechrono and chronogps from the android store, hopefully they go alright tomorrow

Nah it doesnt use 3G at all for timing, you just need a good GPS signal, and the one in the phone isnt great. Probably would be best to fix the phone under the windscreen somehow. It also uses a lot of power, so take a charger. I use the tomtom cradle, since i use the phone for satnav as well, and it works really well with that since its got a built in GPS and supplies power from the cig lighter socket.

BlackT - re: racechrono - i used to have that on a nokia phone years ago, and its worked well with an external bluetooth GPS. Let me know if you need to borrow the GPS, its a 5khz unit that was recommended by the racechrono guys back then.

    • Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪
    • Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s
    • Where ever the fuel reg gets it reference is what I use to T into for map reference been a very long time so where it goes to plenum/runners I have no idea but never had issues. 
    • What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly  
    • I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
