Just spoke to the guy conforming a discusion i had 2 weeks ago, and newer model, with more features at a better price, and looks tricker as well :rofl: ...information to follow later today

I may be able to get these for cheaper then the list price of $450.00 if i do a Group Buy thing.

So description:

- Small and light gauge

- Records up to 480 lap times!

- Accuracy 1/100 sec

- AutoPowered by internal batteries

- Easily readable Display ( 12 mm digits!)

- Not volatile memory

- Auto-Power OFF

- 1 year warranty

Dimensions

- Weight 85g

Roy - you are jumping the gun. Again. Your doctor can help with these premature issues you have.

Something that was going to be raised at the General meeting was competiton within the club. My thoughts were to have competiton classes within the club. Was going to be calling on you and Geoff for input on this etc.

But lets tackle this hurdle when we get to it. Right now just keep this as a little wanky toy thread! :rofl:

How about this one?

Actually I already spoke about price and they will be around $900 for the basic Kart type and $2000 for the car suitable one with the large readout.

Your's is a good price. When do I see it?

Yeh they look trick, though ony have two inputs which is a shame.... mine has the integral lap timer and 4 inputs wich is still shy 2 or 3 when you look at the things i wanted to monitor...but where does the rice stop..... at a $4000 Motec ADL? :rofl:

top price Roy, I paid onver 600 for mine :rofl:

THey don't do quarter mile or anything like that, basically all the have is a little infra red receiver in the car, and it counts how long between going past the beacon. You put the beacon on the start finish line and it will tell you how long each lap was.

These are a great idea if you are serious about track days, you can see straight away whether you are getting faster or not....without a timer you never know whether you really did get it right....

Dimensions  

- Weight 85g

Ridiculous. I can't afford to have that much extra weight in the car. That would bring it from a Stage 372 Weight Reduction to a Stage 368 Weight Reduction!!! ;):)

j/k :) Yeah, I paid AUD$600 for my lap timer from the UK, and it's pretty much the same thing (this is probably the newer model)... Great price! :rofl:

D00d...motor first...then fun toys ;)

I already have my fun toy, its sitting under my bed waiting to get my car back :D

But i saw these when looking for my "Atari" and remembered Merli/Duncans was more expensive...so i dont need one, but since im talking to the guy i thought id see if anyone else is interested , like Duncan said they are worth their weight (mmm only 85g) in gold for the feedback they give you on whether certain gears/lines are quicker thru corners :D

    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
    • The hydrocarbon component of E10 can be shittier, and is in fact, shittier, than that used in normal 91RON fuel. That's because the octane boost provided by the ethanol allows them to use stuff that doesn't make the grade without the help. The 1c/L saving typically available on E10 is going to be massively overridden by the increased consumption caused by the ethanol and the crappier HC (ie the HCs will be less dense, meaning that there will definitely be less energy per unit volume than for more dense HCs). That is one of the reasons why P98 will return better fuel consumption than 91 does, even with the ignition timing completely fixed. There is more energy per unit volume because the HCs used in 98 are higher density than in the lawnmower fuel.
    • No, I'd suggest that that is the checklist for pneumatic/hydraulic adjustable systems. I would say, based on my years of reading and complying with Australian Standards and similar regulations, that the narrow interpretation of Clause 3.2 b would be the preferred/expected/intended one, by the author, and those using the standard. Wishful thinking need not apply.
    • Yes they do. For some maybe. But for those used the most by abusers, ie Skylines, the numbers are known. The stock eyebrow height for R32/3 Skylines is about 365/375mm or thereabouts. The minimum such heights are recorded in adjacent columns in the database.
