Gotta use Harry's timer.

Cheap as and pretty good. at teh start of your day, you set a point of interest on the pit wall. This is your start finish line, then away you go :rofl:

If we do a track walk around you can even set sector points.

Hey NISMO, I just downloaded it. Looks ok, have you used it before?

Does that mean your the one I come and hassle when I can't get it to work?

Oh yeh, can you put wakie into it as one of the tracks?

Hey Dave,

haha, def will be happy to help stuff sorry set it up.

It actually works pretty good. It all works of GPS signals, so as long as you set your start/finish point its good to go. You also only have to do this once. eg I set Oran Park on it, used it on the GP circuit, went back 4 months later to do a south circuit day and it remembered the point and simply started timing laps once i turned it on.

Given the the iphone's GPS is not the best you do get some odd laps, but in general its good to see how you go across the day.

For $5 (what i paid when it was first released) its pretty decent.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem that Wakie is on his list of pre-programmed tracks. Will shoot him a mail about how to get it added, so far he's been very good with set up help.

Thanks mate, price has gone up though now 7.99 still a very cheap laptimer IMO

keep you eye out for a guy in a red 33 (plates:GR33DD) waving an iPhone around in the air looking really confused, that will be me.....hahaha

see you there

racechrono is better, you dont have to have a silly iphone and its free :rofl:

does the iphone allow use of an external bluetooth GPS receiver? none of the built in GPS units are particularly fast and you get a much more accurate lap/stats using an external one.

umm, I don't think they do but I could be wrong. I know I could never get a bt connection with some of my mates nokias when I first got the phone but I haven't checked it since the last couple of firmware upgrades.

Surely this app will be better than trying to use a stopwatch?

BTW you know the only people who hate iPhones are the people who don't have one...lol....nah mine give me the shits a lot of the time

better than a stop watch yes, its mainly the GPS trace of your laps that takes a hit using the internal gps and the timing is closer to being within ~0.5s as they only update once a second vs the higher end bluetooth ones that update 5 times a second, though that gives you an excuse when you go off the track it was the GPS being random not you :rofl:

:P

Thanks Shell. As a driver. I thought so but wanted to confirm.

I've been a member for a while now (joined last year) but never received anything. Was I meant to get a membership card or something? Only reason I know that I am a member is that I have access to the NSW members section.

will transfer passenger money now (forgot about it when i entered)

I've used Harry's Lap Timer with the tom tom cradle and it works ok. You need to jailbreak if you want to use a bluetooth GPS. I have the wakefield start/stop line co-ordinates - you just put it in as a point of interest IIRC.

Co-ords please mr stabby!

+1.

Actually, have you used the export lap feature?

If yes, pick a clean lap, export it to your email, and send it to Harry's site. He should be able to use that to add Wakie to his track database :bunny:

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
