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.

Not the cable doesn't come with it. However - you don't need it. See below.

Features

High-contrast green LCD display (6V version)

Built-in clock and calendar

Built-in lap management database

Stores up to 50 track names

Lap times histogram display

Configurable number of split times

128 kb non-volatile memory stores up to 1200 laps

Optional USB cable for gauge configuration, data download and firmware upgrade

Additional trackside lap and segment beacons available

Water resistant (IP 65 standard)

Rubber pushbuttons

Simple and friendly configuration menus

Two year limited warranty

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.

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.

Ahhh i went looking because UAS didn't have any.... would of preferred to buy from John but to late now as i ordered mine last week...

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
