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 !

this isn't the car I'm doing on wed is it?

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.

    • I'm seeing torque specs all over the place for the OUTER tie rod, but none for the INNER tie rod, where it connects to the steering rack. Even in videos, people are just tightening em up as much as they can with a wrench and that's it. Anything tightened down without torque makes me nervous. Anyone know what the spec is for it?
    • Hope you had a great time here in our tiny country.   The JDM scene we have here is quite small, it's mostly BMW, Volkswagen with burble tunes haha. But the few JDM cars we do have in the scene are pretty nice. Some of my friends drive cool s14's too. Both built engines, red one makes abt 500, blue one abt 400 i think?
    • Ye good idea , would have never thought of something like that. Might aswell do it to every pulley and the balancer while I’m there 
    • Use an LS1 or similar, via kit like Frenchy's. But.... It's probably not the alternator. It sounds like belt squeal, which would be because the pulleys are glazed. Rub every groove on the pulleys with 120 grit paper. Report back. Oh, and new belts afterwards too. The old new ones will be shitted up already.
    • Hello all I have 2 r34 sedans , one turbo one na, only recently aquired the na 34.  Man what is with these things.... My turbo 34 started sounding like a super charger, it was screaming at anything above 4000rpm , I took the alternator apart and replaced the front bearing which is the only one I think you can access and it did not fix the issue so presumably the bearing in the rear of the alternator is gone. ( diagnosed it was the alternator by taking off the aux belts one by one to figure out which pulley or bearing it was )  My friend gave me one he had lying around, Installed it , it did not squeal for maybe 500kms and now its started to squeal again briefly on startup  Recently got an na r34 and I replaced the timing belt, water pump + all the auxillirary belts. Runs amazing but it suddenly developed the same squeaking problem but significantly worse, Ive had my neighbour come down screaming at me because it was waking her up everytime I moved the car. It takes a good 2 minutes before it quietens down.  Im yet to diagnose where its coming from but im fairly sure its coming from the alternator aswell. My question isnt about how to fix it but rather where can you get a new alternator for an rb25 neo??? Ive searched everywhere but I havent been able to find a direct fit oem type replacement thats not genuine. All the automotive stores sell an oex one - BXA035 - which I picked up for cheap through a friend with staff discount , got it home only to find the connector is completelty different.... As far as im aware bxa035 is for rb20/30's and after a bit of figuring out the bxa035 has an ev14 type connector, which is tiny compared to the rb25 connector. I actually had an ev14 connector lying around which I was considering just replacing the bigger plug with to get the alternator working but the bxa035 is rated for 70amp vs the rb25 alternators are 90amp ( or so ive been told ? ) That paired along with the fact im about to install an amp + sub in the back and I have the stock sized small battery Im not sure itll do the job unless anyone has another opinion?  I know and have seen all the websites selling the ls1 alternator conversion kit but I am not going down that route, nor do I have the money to. Hopefully I can figure out how to get 2 brand new alternators for both cars. I would buy second hand which there seems to be many of but considering how common this seems to be im sure If I installed a second hand one it would start squealing in no time  Or even better if anyone knows how to fix the issue directly with the alternator itself... Any input appreciated Thank you     Link for bxa035 connector picture
