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.

    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
    • thanks GTSboy. My confusion at the moment is i am trying to locate the ignition, ECU battery power and the ECU negative The closest thing i can find is the for the S15 on Page 8 of the Wiring Specialties web page https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9F33_M_GgENQnZ6STMxVmVNd1E/view?resourcekey=0-eZ4nNRwRoqa1qvKlWWHm8A I cannot find the same diagram for the R33 RB25DET Series 2 dash plug pin out.... Do you know what the Pins? or know where i can find the same pinout diagram for the RB dash plug? Thanks for the advice on the box... i like a 6 speed so might be on the lookout or the box now.. a topic of discussion for another post...
    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
