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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
