anyone know how to time yourself at an untimed event?

mates doing sandown. untimed event.

theres probably an app you can get for your smartphone, not sure how accurate or reliable it would be though.

could always have a mounted go pro and check the video later at a certain spot for times? again bit of a guess & hassle but would give you a pretty close idea..

Download RaceChrono for Android...

Pair it with an external 10hz Bluetooth GPS like a Qstarz BT-Q818XT stuck to the top of the windsheild if you want anything resembling accuracy (as a phones inbuild gps isn't going to be able to update fast enough, especially down low in the car (pocket or glovebox or center console))

Add Sandown to the list of "My Tracks"

hit "Start Session", then drive.

Its accurate to within tenths of the actual natsoft times.

I also mount the phone onto the dash so i can see live sector and laptimes

Have it in the car and concentrate on the stopwatch while doing 200 down the main straight...

What?

It's no different to quick look at the gauges while doing 200.

Yeah I'd rather not click a stop start stopwatch when on a race track.

What?

Again, it's no different to switching lights/indicators while doing 200+ km/h anywhere really. Won't cause you to lose control and heading for armco barrier or concrete wall.

You land vaginas need to ride a bike at 250+ for some perspective

Or watch youtube footage of nutters doing that speed.

Or watch crazy goat lovers doing 250+ in highway between Istanbul and Ankara, while being followed by couple of BMWs driven like its stolen.

Therefore you'll be fine with a $2 stopwatch. Cos you're not me.

I'm not saying it can't be done it's just not preferred

And I would prefer not to do it, same as every other track day car, haven't seen one driver go out on a hot lap and time himself with a stopwatch in the events I have been too

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
