I have built the timing gear. It is hard real time to 1/1000th accuracy. I print to 1/100th on the session sheets.

The main laptop in the timing room, the beam at the track, sign and hand controller are all radio linked and run off batteries.

It also measures the air temperature and track temperature and prints it on the end of day sheet so you can see the conditions at every set you run.

The extras that I will be bringing back now that the beam is 100% sorted out are:

1. The giant electronic sign that shows lap times to the spectators live as the cars pass the start/finish line.

2. The pit hand controller that allows the pit lane marschall to order each session in best lap running. It also lets him edit the next session so it is ready to go once the track clears.

Wow thats awesome, very accurate, and the 2 other things will be good when they all come together, can i ask how much it cost all up?

Just have to put a word in for Scott and the guys at TyreZone Capalaba for sorting my (QR turn 1 induced) suspension dramas out! I highly recommend seeing these guys for a track day alignment, and I believe they will do you a deal on setting you up for track then getting you back to more tyre-friendly settings again for the road. Plus they can sort out most brands of tyres (semis or street tyres) too.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
