Neither do i . I'm using a starlane digi race stealth - something or other . it's funny when you get things like attatched pic:

That's just telling you you can backoff the pace a little bit and still win the race... :P

I use the LT-6000 and really like it. Works as advertised and the data logging is quite good.

Down sides: is only accurate to about +/- 0.2, but honestly not like us club racers are trying to qualify for F1.

Also, the software and interface aren't the easiest to use.

But for $400 and gives you real time lap times in the car plus green/red projected times on your lap your doing, it is a great tool.

Most phones don't have high speed GPS sensors. So to get more acurate you should have a dedicated GPS device capturing at 10 hertz. But phone apps are ok as long as you aren't looking for too much accuracy.

Are there any dedicated gps lap timers that take video as well? That's why I like this app, but worried about launching my iPhone out into the back paddock of Wakefield though!

V Box and similar can incorporate video as well as having a whole lot of useful driving and data analysis features. Performance Box is cheaper, not sure what it's features are but it is too big to mount on the steering wheel like the LT-6000 will.

How do users find units like the LT-6000 with a built in GPS in a tin top car? No problem with GPS signal interference requiring a remote mounted sensor?

I mount it on the front window that is what the recommend. Occasionally you'll get a signal wander that causes the location to move about 10m but timing still works fine.

I don't think you'd want it on the steering wheel as that would take your line of sight too far away from the track.

If you mean all the gauges etc then it's just a program that you load the qstarz data file into. Their are dozens of gauge sets available (even clusters from common sports cars) and you can move them around or edit them till your heart is content.

The Dashware software is pre-configured to detect the data file that is made by the Qstarz so you simply import the file into Dashware then drag whatever gauges you want onto your video screen and it works.

Awesome! Is it fussy about what type of video files?

Also, how bright is the screen in the car when it brings up split times etc.? I took my brother's car out to Wakefield yesterday which had an Aim dash, and in the sunlight I couldn't see a thing!

The Dashware software is pre-configured to detect the data file that is made by the Qstarz so you simply import the file into Dashware then drag whatever gauges you want onto your video screen and it works.

Also, how does it work out where you are on the track when you add the video file? Have you found it to be accurate?

Just can't work out how the video and data logging lines up accurately without any data from the video file.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
