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

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
