Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the wait - my thanks to PranK for raising some interest in my little project here.

Without further ado, I present to you, pictures of the camera mount:

I don't have any pictures of it set up in a car, perhaps PranK will provide some later, but these photos should give you a fair idea how things work. Typically, you'll have the suction cup attached to your rear window, and the camera standing on your rear parcel shelf supported by the tripod. So, your camera will see something like this:

Initially I only made a few of these for friends like PranK, but seeing the interest shown here, I am prepared to do a 'production run'. My price to PranK was 'mate's rates' and not including the mini tripod, so price including tripod will be $80 each, less if I get plenty of orders, seeing as how this is a group buy. If you would like one, please email me (blahboy -at- iinet.net.au) so I can prepare accordingly. Cheers!

I've just gone through this thread and realised how long ago it was started - apologies to the people who were hanging out for this, PranK didn't really let on the full extent of what was happening.

If all of the people who said they were interested still are, then please, let me know now, I think the price will be closer to $70. I also noticed in the forum rules I'm not supposed to ask people to post expressions of interest... so I guess I'm sort of taking orders. Please either post here again if you want one or email me, or send a PM.

ill take one without tri pod as ive got the little tripod thingy already, $60 ??? u would be able to stick it on like the front window as well hey ???

You can put it at the front of the car no problem.

$60 sans tripod could be achievable, it's entirely dependant on numbers. Reason is that I can source the suction cup cheaply from a wholesaler, but there is a minimum order quantity. Otherwise, if I get them retail, it will be about twice as expensive, plus each unit carries a larger burden of shipping. So if you're interested but concerned about price, step forward, and I'll work things as best I can.

is the camera hard to install?  where does it go?

The whole thing is really easy to set up, all consumer still and video cameras have a thread on the bottom that is standard sized, which attaches to the thread on the mount.

I'm afraid I still don't have any photos of it set up in a car, so here's an embarassingly cheesy sketch done by me in MS Paint in an attempt to explain:

Obviously, the drawing is rough, but hopefully you get the idea. Depending on the car, the mount might be set up with the camera towards the rear glass rather than away, and if there's a real lack of room back there, then you would omit the tripod and sit the base of the camera mount directly on the rear parcel shelf. Leaving the camera hanging isn't recommended as you don't get a steady picture. Hope this helps!

i gotta say - that drawing is pretty dodgy, but also very clear.

Um, thanks? :D

thanx for that drawing cos it makes sense to me now of how it works.

my friend maybe very interested. r the final details finalised yet?

There aren't that many details - if you'd like one, you let me know. Best guess, will be $70 for the package.

Bugger it, I'll take one! I've got a great mount attached to my rollcage in the mini, and was thinking of getting one made up that mounts between the rear passenger grab rails (like the custom made WRX Club ones for WRXs). It hangs the camera right in the middle of the car... but this suction cup version is available so I might as well grab it!

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
