just bare in mind here fellas, the gps hardware shit you use on your phone, is a once calibrated piece of junk.

use a seperate designed for piece of equipmunk, and make sure its calibrated.

also, enviroment plays a huge part in gps signal. so dont just rely on that.

not saying whats above is wrong, just giving you all the info.

don;t use the gpn on the phone,

I use an external 10Hz GPS reciver liked to racechrono on android.

the lap times are withing .1 of a second of the track ones, (think it more due to the start stop line in racechrono is not the same as the beam they use for our track days)

so think the results are fairly accurate.

assumed that but thought would clarify.

when I used the GPS jsut on the phone times were more than a sec out from lap times, the external GPS as mentioned brought it down to sub .1 so I'm happy for the time being.

If you need to be accurate to less than 1/10 of a second for recreational racing... you need to get a life lol

If you want an accurate representation of how well a different line through a corner effects your time, then having an accurate GPS is pretty important.

I use a 10Hz Bluetooth module as well, stuck to the top of my windscreen, because I have my phone wrapped up in my centre console and GPS Reception when you're inside a big metal cage isn't ideal.

Lap times can be within a 0.1 seconds... however things like top speeds and corner speeds go absolutely retarded if you've got a poor signal and it thinks your bouncing all over the track.

What if you drive a BNR34

Them you don't need to be timed as that is below you. You already know you are the fastest. Even faster than the RWD guys going faster than you

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs.
