Found a place selling the same laptimers that the vic guys bought from UAS when they were up in NSW for a good price in the US. Convinced them to ship to Australia... Price is < 300AUD for one landed. Me and snowy are going to get one, just thought i'd see if anyone else wants one before we order...

You can order yourself from here, or we may be able to save a few $ shipping if we order together... up to you... Here's the link.

Update: Just order in Pairs, see my post below about shipping costs, it's only a couple of dollars savings if you do more than 2... not worth the hassle, so find a partner to order with. Nick and Anthony & Matt maybe you guys can work something out? You could order 3 together, or wait and see if someone else wants one then do 2 lots of 2?

FYI - the cheapest place locally we can find them is $399 - some sell them for as high as $650! lol

So $270odd is pretty damn cheap. (I know Chris is going to cry over that price. hehe)

But they are an awesome thing to have in your car on the track. I always thought they were overated until I used one.

I'm definitely in for one. But $275 USD == $330 AUD? Are you sure the pricing is correct?

Depends which one you want. I think all the guys currently have the 6v one which is cheaper. If you want the blue screen, 12v one you can grab that just will cost you a bit more....

Will update first post with who's in.

Does anyone know what the laws are with customs with this? I think if we keep it < 1000AUD inc postage they won't bother us. So if it gets over 1000US we may do 2 separate orders shipped to different addresses to avoid customs....

ok here are the shipping costs from 1-4 units...

1 = 27.45 shipping or 27.45 per unit

2 = 32.15 shipping or 16.08 per unit

3 = 41.30 shipping or 13.76 per unit

4 = 45.80 shipping or 11.45 per unit

If you order 4 its going to be just over 1000AUD with shipping so might get hit with customs, not worth it.

I think we are best to order in pairs... so find yourself a partner (from this thread :wave: ) and organise it between yourselves... or order one yourself it's only a $10 saving by ordering together.... Also means if you guys want extra accessories (usb cable etc..) then you could grab one at the same time.

top thread ferni and good find on that US place.

I was originally going to get one from from UAS which is the cheapest I could find in aus, but your link was cheaper. Anyway, I rang john and told him I found a cheaper place and that I was going to grab one direct from the US he made a few calls and told me if he ups his order to more units he gets a better price and can then do a more competetive price for us, plus he does warranty returns etc from his shop in sydney (as he buys from the aus distributor, not parallel import). that would save you shelling out $27USD is postage each way if something went wrong. Plus it keeps john in cardigans and short pants for another week or so.

He also advised me strongly to get the backlit version as the 6V one he reckons is not so hot, and only the 12V version is backlit (has the blue screen). it's dead easy to just wire up a little plug so you can plug it in and out (I'm going to buy some cheap plugs from jaycar so I can have one in the GTR and one in the alfa).

If you guys are keen John can do a good price for us, I would rather get it from him personally as I know the guy and know if something goes wrong with it he'll get it sorted. It's not up to me to say what price he is willing to do but I will say it's very competetive. very, very competetive. lol.

Just email him [email protected] if you want to get in on it.

maybe we should put this in motorsport section?

so they come with track-side IR beacons?

and if its IR, does this mean that only one person needs to setup their beacon on the side of the track, and everyone with the same unit can run off that one?

yes and yes - it's why we like them :blink:

Other cool feature is if a few people have setup their IR transmitters trackside near yours, after the first signal which is received by the laptimer there is a delay timer during which it will ignore the subsequent signals so you don't get 2-3 second split times.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
