Hello

I have one Audio/Video input free in DVD player and want to install some? camera in the front bumper of my sky. I dont know if rear-view-camera connected will give enough clear image?? Will I be able to see something on the sreen with speed 80-120 km/h? If not than maybe someone know what kind of camera will do the work ??Any help would be appreciated !

Hey,

yes it is Chris and I cant wait for it. Matt spent all day driving from shop to shop looking for a front camera. He couldnt find any, and none of the staff at the shop couldnt recommend one so I decided to post it no here with hope for some help. Maybe someone has a better idea what to do with A/V input. I have 3 of them, 1 for rear-view-camera, next for front-camera and one more for ?? (dont want playstation etc.)

P.S. this is the link with some good camara in the front bumper -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=0euuDhG9GEk -Im after something like that

and one more link with some ebay-sh,,, camera -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=leYWVNpY184 - thats the reason why Im looking for some help, I dont want to buy by mistake a camera with such a poor image.

thanks

one more thing Im not sure about. If i install rear-view-camera in the front I`m gonna have image back to front because it is a reversing camera ,unless your screen have the option to mirror the image. ??

That first video link is shot using a MiniDV video camera, so it will be good quality.

I didnt think the ebay camera was too bad - you wont have the resolution to zoom in on a number plate, but considering that you've probably got a 7" screen and only hooking up a camera to view not record, i'd go with an ebay bullet cam.

i was just outside playing around with my reversing camera. in the middle of finding a location for it. Stagea not the easiest car to reverse park at night. my camera is goin behind the rear window.

as i was playing around i noticed via the screen is was very responsive ... like i was testing it moving it real fast around the interior, very clear also and was told its good for night time, but i will have to wait and see. should be fully installed and hooked up today. its gonna run constant power via the headunits power and i can just select the screen to view. i'll let u know how it handles doing the speed limit and how clear it is ..

its a Viscom VS2105N , from jb hi-fi, not alot on the web about them :cheers:

ok all in and very neatly tucked away. sitting on the rear break light houseing on the window. it see's a fair bit, very sunny outside and bright.

in motion 80kph. very smooth not laggy like a mobile phone or anything. picture quality... well its not dvd class but it could look like 10MP just guessing. can kinda of make out number plates at the lights.

only problem i had was . whats on my left hand side, is on the right hand side of the screen. but when i flip it , everything goes upside down, but only using this for perfect parking so no drama's there.

      LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      By dawhitehonky · Posted

      I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy

      If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.

      Rapid-fire squeaking/creaking from rear suspension

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
