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.

http://www.dashware.net/

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!

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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
