Cool thanks Tim,

I've actually found an SD version which I'm waiting on pricing for, out of the UK. It's listed as 199 pounds which is far cheaper than the POV1. No doubt the quality won't be as good, but for someone like me who just does the odd track day should be fine. Comes with a screen to review, mic, cam and recorder.

Before you go and spend in bulk have a look at these

Sandisk V-Mate (~$80 ebay)

Sony 1/3 ccd camera (~$90 ebay)

SD card of your choice

Cables and DC convertor

have a look here

Its a bit diy, but can save a wad of cash

I thought they brought it down to 100g unless mounted to floor as of 1 January 2009, but looking on the CAMS website, I can only find a document saying "NOTE FOR COMPETITORS: It is foreshadowed that from 1 January 2009, the maximum weight of any camera, lens or recording unit mounted to other than the floor shall be 100g" however cannot find anything to say its mandatory yet.

http://www.camsmanual.com.au/techdocs/T-401[1].pdf

I suspect that it is mandatory, but I can't find any reference to it yet in the new CAMS manual.

Does anyone know if something happened to force the rule change? ie camera comes loose, fly's through cabin, knocks out driver, car out of control hits wall.

Or is it CAMS being CAMS

That is an interesting question....I'd imagine that it would take a fair amount of force to break a camera away from its mounting (assuming it is a 1/2 decent mount) let alone it travelling with enough speed etc to hit a driver wearing a helmet and knock them out. In which case the car would've already been involved in an accident of some sort.

I'd say it the ol' OH&S people getting a little out of hand....

That really sucks. I just bought a camera late last year, and had a camera mount built into my cage... Not happy Jan

haha dane...doesnt built into the cage beat out bracket? otherwise just bolt it on like they've asked...or maybe it becomes part of the interior now haha

pain in the arses

A cradle should be attached to the safety cage where present by means of a clamp style bracket secured by at least two 6mm class 8.8 bolts.

• Where no safety cage is present, the cradle should be securely mounted to a substantial section of interior bodywork

To bump up....

A question....

For those guys n gals with roll cages, what type of camera mount did you get? where from and how much?

I need one for the new nugget!

Check this thread out: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...l&hl=camera

I think the rule tightening came about due to the increased usage of in car cameras and video recorders now due to the relative cheapness of them and the explosion of youtube type video sharing sites.

It is an interesting thing and i have seen plenty of poorly mounted cameras in cars especially at club days and supersprints,

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
