I had a big post of the silly adventures of its first night of use...but really. It didnt read well and didnt show me in good light ...and nobody cares....but basically. Radcam works well when sober. Makes sure you are familiar with its operation sober before piloting it drunk! ;)

But it arrived after paying the UK govt a bribe, i mean a tax and now all set for Monday! :)

Well, I will post up the Radcam footage in a few days...and will post last years POV footage in a Caterham vs Radcam in a Caterham from today. Basically..Radcam kills it! Sound is a bit funny, took a while to get decent sound, the mic needs a sock for sure to drown out background noise

We found the built in mic works a treat. It's got auto wind noise reduction. Used em in 6 cars at the Muscle Car masters for Channel 7 on the weekennd and got some awesome footage. Just waiting for permission to post some video. To whet your appetite, here's a screen grab from Glen Seton's BMW, chasing a very familiar and famous GTR.

The internal mic is definitely the go. I've attached a short clip (reduced and pixelated for copyright reasons) to give you an idea of the audio quality. This was in a Aussie race Car with no side windows and the recorder mounted in the front.

Radcam HDPro Audio Demo With Internal Mic

Edited by martyboy26

I tried a few different arrangments. And reviewing all the vids this morning you are right. The first run i did not use an external mic and just had the hand unit strapped to the passenger seat. It seems fine. Perhaps should ot have mounted it so close to the harnesses which just flap around at speed. Thats part of the noise i thought was wind noise.

The run with the external mic up under the dash with no sock is far the worst. The run with my ipod headphone foam thinkgies on the mic seems to be maybe just better then the internal mic. So I guess thats what you get when trying to listen to a crappy laptop speaker at a track day with cars deafening you...maybe shoudl have jsut stuck with the internal mic.

Well i just uploaded some footage to youtube. It doesnt do the quality justice.

See post #5 ... http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Si...za-t335975.html

I recorded it in 1080 60Hz...and struggling to understand what format to save it in using Windows Movie Maker? Any tips on what format when uploading to youtube , i want to avoid the back box around the footage?

Nice vid. I'm glad you got your camera on time. Mount looks solid on that car. Next time try the built in mic and you'll find it works pretty much anywhere.

Movie Maker doesn't really work well with HD videos. If you just want to trim the beginning and end and save in the original untouched format, then use MPEG Streamclip free from http://www.squared5.com/ is the go. This will give you the best quality on Youtube with zero quality loss. If you want to edit and add titles etc the get hold of a copy of Pinnacle Studio HD http://pinnaclesys.com Save the finished file to MPEG-4 1080 or 720

Also, if you want to widen the view, use 720P. It widens the view to 140 degrees (from 120 for 1080P) Can be good for some shots.

Keep em coming. Cheers from Mark at RaceRecall I've attached some screen grabs from the Muscle Car Masters. Both of these were in the same car, just using the 2 different settings. Hope that helps.

LOL, that explains why one minute you could see the gear changes and my feet (720p) then the next you couldnt (1080p) :) 120deg vs 140deg :(

Thanks for the links...Not sure i will have time to play with the footage...but will for future vods and the Silverstone vids when i get back to Aus

Why do I bother to include instruction booklets???? No-one ever reads em. LOL!

Instruction booklet? One question....does the camera had a max time record setting? I came in one session and the camera was already stopped. I thought i may have hot the remote in my pocket by accident...bit far fetches but could not explain it....maybe find the instruction booklet :action-smiley-069:

No, it'll record until the battery goes flat or the card fills up. When you start the camera up, you'll see a display at the bottom of the screen that shows how much recroding time is left on the memory card. Once it's recording, it shows how long the recording has been running.

    • Hi everyone, I'm about to complete my first single turbo conversion on my R32 GTR and I thought I would post the step by steps that I will be following. I will list the parts I have / the parts I will be buying. I will be redoing this guide after I have completed the conversion. Parts list: - 3576 turbo 0.82 v-band (coolant and oil)  - v-band top mount turbo manifold - 50mm wastegate - manifold copper gasket - titanium manifold stud kit - turbosmart 3 port boost solenoid - link can lambda kit (wideband) - link ECU - radium 12AN push in valve cover fittings (pair) - hi octane catch can - 3.5inch downpipe - screamer pipe - pipe from turbo to intercooler - intake pipe setup - power steering relocation kit - oil drain block off plate - coolant and oil lines Now onto the step by step guide (please add / correct me if there's anything I missed: 1. remove fluids, twin turbo pipes, pod filters and afm's 2. remove the factory coolant hardlines from the hot side. 3. remove heat shields  4. remove the downpipe 5. remove turbos and manifolds 6. remove factory manifold studs 7. clean whatever mess you have made 8. install power steering relocation kit 9. install new manifold studs 10. install new turbo manifold with gasket 11. install new wastegate with screamer pipe 12. install new turbo  13. install new coolant and oil lines  14. install rear oil drain block off plate 15. stop and appreciate that you now have a single turbo in your GTR 16. wipe away tears of joy and install downpipe 17. install the wideband sensor into downpipe 18.install pipe to connect turbo to intercooler 19 .remove stock boost solenoid  20. install new boost solenoid 21.  install intake setup 22. setup the rest of the can lambda kit with the ecu  23. refill fluids and hope for the best 24. ask forums for help with issues 25. fix issues 26. drive your single turbo swapped r32 GTR into the sunset. Doneeeeeeeeeee. Now I know this isn't detailed at all but I will be doing that when the conversion is done. I will be posting pics and any helpful details i can and ill make sure to fit in as much information as I can. If there's anything I should know before i do this PLEASE let me know. Stay tuned for what's next. Thanks...
    • I have wasted too much time on this, more than I am willing to admit. I hope someone can set the record straight for me.  I want to replace my Nismo (non GT pro, non GT) standard 2 way in my R33 GTST with a 1.5 way... Ideally I want to get an ATS 1.5 way Carbon LSD, but I don't want to reuse my 29 spline 5x1 axle stubs, and new 30 spline 5x1's are impossible to get a hold of ($$$), and I don't want to drop the cash on going to 6x1 stubs and axles ATM. Which leads me to the Nismo GT Pro 38420-RSS15-B5 or RSS20, as they come with new axle stubs meant for the diff, and is "Convertible" from a 2 way or 1.5 way to "Other ways", but that is where I am stuck as the documentation is a bit all over the place.  To sum up what I have found I believe the all the Nismo GT Pro PN's are convertible from 2 way, 1.5 way, and 1 way; but Nismo sells 2 skus (2 & 1.5) so people do not have to disassemble to convert it.  I found this thread on 350z but it left the question unanswered. https://my350z.com/forum/engine-and-drivetrain/620032-nismo-gt-pro-lsd-1-5-vs-2-way-and-torque.html  Essentially the way I think it all works out is like follows...  2 way  1 way  and 1.5 way would be the center pinion shaft in the 1 way block, but with the with the center flipped 180*. So the ramped side of the pinion would face the 1 way gate and act like a ramp.    I can only get my hands on the 2 way in the states, and I am not trying to get stuffed on tariffs by ordering from Japan or anywhere else. I want to confirm that if I get the 2 way I can convert it to the 1.5.     
    • Hi everyone, I have purchased my first GTR and I want to do a single turbo conversion to it. I've been doing as much research as i can and there are a few things that I can find and need to know. I need to run a coolant feed, coolant return, oil feed and oil return for my turbo setup. Here's what I know so far: On the hot side of the rb26 there is coolant feed, oil feed and oil return. Coolant return will be going around the front of the engine to where the thermostat is located. I will need to block off the rear oil return port. I will be running a turbosmart boost solenoid so any of the factory boost stuff wont be needed. Now onto what I don't know: 1. What do I do with the coolant / vacuum hardlines that run around the back of the motor?. 2. What do I block off or loop or move or remove?. I will be running the OEM intake manifold. 3. Is there anything in particular I need to buy for the cold side of the rb26?. I already have the intercooler and pipes sorted. If you have any pictures or information it would be appreciated. Thanks....  
    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
