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 :)

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:

Drivers Mobile Phone (MUST be BlueTooth Enabled)

Some ones Laptop -ANY -

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.

      Por que no los dos? At least my euro brawler is reliable - unlike the JDMs I've had. Sheraaz you look familiar, did you ever come to an SAU VIC meet aaaaaages ago?

      Drove to Cape Schanck to try to get a nice clear southern view over the ocean to see the lights a couple of days ago... instead got crappy cloud cover. Photo of a diorama of Hong Kong street scene. Taken on an iPhone 13 Pro Max.

      Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.

      The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.

      Belt flex under throttle

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
