Haha the sound is as it is in that video..

If you didn't notice, I had the radio turned up at the start, then turned the volume down and just had the window open..and then booted it at one stage near the end and you can hear that silly holden V6 crying..

its not too bad, a little tinny but otherwise will manage

As opposed to the GoPro Hero cams which don't seem to record decent sound at all..

Thats the best quality i've ever seen from an in-car cam, ever! The sound was fine, not much sound to be recorded whilst on a motorway doing 100km/h.

I'd love to see a video of some city driving or country type roads.

I do Scott, but i have a big one for a handycam.

In this case I just shoved between the headrest and seat..so the mic is covered..

I plan to get one a bit more suited to a smaller camera more like the GoPro mounts

Sample in-car vid from today

Looks like this, I got it in a less loud silver..

Yeh High Definition (HD) is the way to go, the picture quality is way better than most motorsport specific cameras, some of which have rubbish video quality. There are other HD cameras which are cheaper than the name brands eg Aiptek, Digilife and which usually weigh less then 200grams.

YouTube still degrade the picture quality even on HQ, Vimeo are supposed to be better. Here is an incar example using a Digilife 1080HD solid state pocket camera

Viewing the file direct its easy to see and read the gauges and speedo, going through YouTube stuffs that part up a bit. Edited by 260DET

Any idea if the Panasonic DMC-TS1/FT1 can take larger than 2gb memory cards as according to this review site 2gb = 23mins on the highest quality setting. A 16gb hd card is only worth $50.

I've made a Nismo dash for trackvision, i'm just in the process of setting the dash to read the logs. Should have to video in the next couple of weeks.

I think the trackvision forums are a good place to to find some loggers. the traqmate was the cheapest i found that did what i wanted (gps+aux inputs).

i know greg (targa tom) has used trackvision in the past.

It can, I have a 12GB class 4 card and works fine with HD recording, havent had any issues.

A mate of mine bought one of these. Its 720P and takes great video.

Think I may just buy one of these. For $199 why not !!

My Deals Direct camera arrived.

It works really well. The 720p 30fps output is pretty damn good. This camera is really tiny.

Here's some video I took yesterday. Still compressed fair bit by the up load. The raw camera footage is heaps better than this. The video output is 16:9 aspect. I had to crop the sides off so it looked right after upload.

for the money this thing is great value. But the best bit is unlike the go-pro you can rotate the screen around so you dont have to look at it from the back to preview what you are going to be getting.

footage and sound seem good. still would like to see it on track. many cameras look great for a spin around the block but how well they can handle the g force, wind noise, vibration, and loud exhuast noise of a race car is the real test. :blink:

True but with my driving I probly dont want to see it in detail....if ya know what I mean

I am going to Winton to play with the road car in early July. So will give it a run then and repost the video.

Cropped it cause I uploaded to Photobucket first and it looked shocking. Then redid the file onto Vimeo which doesnt compress quite as much. So it stayed 4:3

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
