    As the title says, I had no luck finding someone with a timing light to borrow. So I'm wondering where I shoul go to get my timing sorted in Melbourne?

    Cheers

    Price of paying someone will cost you just as much as a light. I know what I'd rather....;)

    If it were me is spend that little bit more on something trade quality. Have never had a good experience with cheap timing lights...

    Yep this is the issue! I don't want to buy poor kit as it would be next to useless if its hobby grade and doesn't actually set my timing correctly. I would use it this once and maybe a few other times on other Z's but apart from that, that would be all. So $150 seems like alot if you look at it this way.

    That's why I thought I'd utilise a trade quality timing light at a shop for this one time use and be done with it.
