My mate is running his car at the dyno and drags at Easternats this week and is looking for one of those suction cap mounted video camera holders that he can mount to the rear screen of his ute. Preferbly something with angle adjustment so it can be universal.

Was going to use one of the suction cap things a glazier uses to carry large pieces of glass and make something but time has won in the end so he is looking to purchase one.

Can anybody help on where we could find something like this ready made?

Hi,

My uncle owns a camera store and can get you what you want... I got my Manfrotto 241v from him for around $180 and it does the job very well.

It works on a single suction cup with steel support rails and a ball joint system for angling the camera/camcorder. Also, being Manfrotto, the quality and rigidity of the thing is awesome.

Let me know if you are interested, I'll see if I can even get the supplier to send it directly to you :(

i made a mount that clamps to the headrest mount of an R33 GTSt from alu piping.

it holds a Manfrotto Tripod head.

as I can't use it now, and it is taking up space, if someone wants it they can have it - you'll just have to get a tripod head for it.

it's a bit rudimentary buy does the job...

will throw up some pics when I'm back in Melb

Cheers

PS easy as to make... just do it yourself!

:P I got 1 you guys can borrow if you want.

It can be mounted on ANY angle/degree you want.

I dont mind lending it out.

Just pm me. I need it for this sunday for vicdrift at winton....

I bought it for $200 and was here in 2 days!

The footage from the last event was fantastic, it doesnt shake (even on a drift car) and like i said can be mounted anywhere!

MSS: Whered u get that from?(Is it the same as ant95's?

Isnt it worrying with only a suction cup holding your camera outside your car when ur getting crazy speeds?

Checked out www.chasecam.com, these suckers are only $40USD which aint to bad at all.

Bullet cameras arent bad as well at $255 USD

i have no clue who ant95 is but it might be the same.

The camera has been tested at 240kph and handles GREAT, especially with drift it handles excellent.

It was tested at the first vic drift day on the holford motors S14, and worked excellent. I will post up videos sometime during the week

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
