Hey mate,

It's all coming along great. Should be finished in a month or less. I was going to send out a mass email to let you all know, but email addresses aren't listed in profiles and the email function doesn't work. Makes it difficult not knowing who is checking in on this thread. But I do have the list of who has confirmed their order:

sidewaymambo

nismoman18

eriktufa

Salps12

2crazy

NRB

Endorean

Some of those guys have emailed me, so I know their email addresses, but not all of you. If you haven't, and you're reading this, it would be useful if you email me at blahboy AT iinet.net.au, so I can pass on my bank account details to take deposits and payment. Cheers!

Hi guys,

I think it is time I took deposits, or full payments if you are inclined. Full package is $70, minus tripod is $65, and deposit is $35. I will obviously keep track of who pays for what.

For those of you who provided email addresses, I will email you after posting this.

Please contact me via email (blahboy *at* iinet.net.au) if you do not have means of depositing funds into the bank account.

Also below will be a list of people I have down as confirmed orders. If you want a camera mount and your name is not on this list, contact me as soon as possible. As incentive, units purchased outside of this group buy will cost more.

My bank account details:

Bank: Commonwealth Bank

Name: Peter Lo

BSB and Acc No: 062-037 2804 6968

Please include your SAU nick in the transaction description.

Also if you have the dimensions of the mount could you email me them as when I go buy a camera I need to make sure it fits!

:D

Don't worry, as long as it's not an unusually large camera, it will fit. If it's a modern video camera (ie MiniDV or MicroDV) it will fit. :D

I'll get those details just before I send them out.

ETA right now about 2 weeks. As usual, it's the aluminium place that's being a royal PITA. Not only is their customer service poor, but now it looks like they're trying to rip us off - the parts are heaps more expensive than my last order, even though I ordered less last time! This will be cleared up today or tomorrow.

Met up with sidewaymambo today, he didn't have his camera with him, but I showed him how the mount could be set up front or rear.

It appears that in an R33 at least, a tripod may not be necessary, as the base of the mount rests directly on the rear seats or on the front dash. A non-slip mat is useful for resting the mount on, to provide lateral grip. So, if it sounds like you do not need a tripod, let me know - if you've given me full payment, I can give you $5 back when we meet, or if I will be sending the mount to you, then the $5 will count towards postage. Having said that, the tripod doesn't cost much, and may be useful in certain situations. And if you have a stills camera, the mini tripod is definitely handy to have.

speaking of camera mounts... anyone know where i can get one of those ones they mount on the outside of the door? just back and out from the wheel?

You mean something like this?

Bakadesu got one of those off me recently to use with a really nice CCD camera he has. To be on the safe side, I would say that the ball mount should only be used for something like that, or the lighter Mini/MicroDV cameras, for rolling footage. The ball mount provides massive flexibility for setting up whatever angles you choose.

The cost of one is up around the $70 mark, mainly from the Hama ball mount (made in Germany). If you want to make one yourself, I can supply you the parts, it's quite simple to put together as Bakadesu will attest to.

    • Ok, just the way you wrote it made it look like you had the stagger the wrong way around 
    • I was getting anxious with the DVLA not knowing if the paperwork is fine or not, so I rang them. No update had been given, but I  was reassured that providing the box was ticked on the V750 then the application will go through fine. I've been checking the DVLA website pretty much every day, in the hope that it would have been done. Fast forward to Monday 29th  and I was greeted with a new screen on the check, and it finally showed as Taxed and MOT'd, woohoo! The car was in desperate need of a clean, not knowing when this day was coming it was put off. As far as I was concerned I had another 3 weeks  I'm not normally one for using snow foam, but I wanted to give it another try It hasn't cleaned up too bad considering it's 21 years old and lived on a boat for a number of weeks. The personalised number plate is J2 XBK, an illegally spaced number plate would have it read J2X BK. BK could either represent  the colour black or Baker, which is my surname. I filmed the first drive, the Youtube link will be at the end. I used the same driving route I did with the 323F V6 when I had a new exhaust installed, heres a couple of photos A few more since then Youtube video can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TjkFHPzjGDw
    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
