I have to be honest I'm not sure how good it will be. I have a Nokia N95 and the navi on it is not so crash hot. it takes a little while to get a lock so I'm not sure how well it will fare doing something as precise as track timing.

seems good if you already have a compatible nokia, but if you have to go out and buy one, wouldn't you be better spending a little extra and getting a performance box? (drift box without drift angles)

we've just ordered nokia 6110 Navigator that runs this software....unfortunately no stock in the country for about 4 weeks....will give this a shot after that :rolleyes:

I hope you didn't purely buy a 6110 for this software Duncan, as at this stage they don't support the internal GPS receiver.

Its probably better anyway to have an external receiver mounted on the glass anyway. I reckon this wouldn't be a bad way to time in tarmac rallies for your own reference (better than a stop watch in your hand that you can easily bump, or forget about :action-smiley-069:

i tried this out at phillip island today. its seems to be pretty accurate. it was off by like 1/10 of a second.

Its cool you just turn it on, then once you pass the start line (in like 3 seconds or 3 hours etc..) it starts recording the times

duncan buy an external bluetooth gps. then you should be able to use the program. I use the 'holux m1000' bluetooth gps. its $70 or so including postage on ebay. You'll also be able to use tomtom and all the other programs which dont like nokias gps.

it will store it on the phone on the memory card. the software is also on the phone. the bluetooth gps adaptor just works out the gps info then sends it to the phone, its the the software/phones job to do all the calculations to work out the times based on the info.

if i bought an external gps box to hook up to the phone will it store the lap times? or will the phone?

you need to download 'nokia pc suite' i think its called. it comes with all the software to connect to phone and sync stuff and also the program with installs .sis files on your phone.

anyone got a .sis file extension software to open it with?

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
