Yeah RadCam is mint. Too easy Nd awesome pic. Initial battery charge takes forever. I thin that's where a couple of whinges have come from, lack of charge.

Hardwired the pov and have never needed to think/worry about battery charge!

The good thing with the Radcam is that is already comes with a free 12 volt car charger and you have the advantage that it will still keep recording even if the power is disconnected e.g. in an accident. If that happens with the POV, then the clip will be corrupted.That's why I don't recommend the power pack for the POV.

Ok, so if I was to get the radcam what would be the best way to integrate a gps based data logger with it? I like the idea of the vbox, although in this digital age don't know if I could live with no HD.

Basically will the radcam integrate with a data logger and have the one sd card with all the info and video footage on there?

I use TrackVision to put data over my video. Put your datalog, and video into the software and sync it, and you get the video+gauges out the other end.

Herer's a good exapmle of just that with a RadCam

Thanks Mark for checking my link out.

I am using DashWare http://www.dashware.net/ which is $50 (bit less with the strong dollar), and a QStarz BT-Q1000eX 5Hz GPS Logger (about $199).

Its simply a matter of syncing the video and data in DashMate and setting a start finish point, then chosing (or making your own gauges).

Its more difficult for rally defining your start and finish points, but if your just circuit racing you just define the start/finish point and it will calculate your laps, and you can choose to ignore out and in laps etc.

the QStarz GPS also comes with good software for analysis called QRacing. which will overlay 3 laps at a time and give you analysis which may help for getting your times down.

I use the old Go Pro camera, the non HD one , comes out allright apart from the sound , thats why i use my Iphone to record the sound , then sinc it with the video at home , comes out nice !

Youtube does lower the quality abit though.

All im seeing is videos from inside the car, any $300+ camera can do that efficiently.... where are all the external videos?

You mean from track side? Its not that easy to get someone to stand in the middle of no where for a day to film for 30 minutes in the forest!

BUT

About 0:45 is our car and again at 2:10 you have to hear it!

Im hoping to get a few 'dedicated' guys some cameras and place them through the stages.

We've used the Radcam extensively both for out of car and in car. If you check out our youtube channel (www.youtube.com/puremotorsport) you'll find a lot of footage.

RaceRecall are easy to deal with and the kit you get really provides you with everything you need. Suction mounts are amazing for drifting!

So is it actually a simple process? ie able to be done by the average bear

And I take it that Dashmate is basically an "enabler" that lets you combine the two lots of data

If so, how/where do you get the input of rpm/throttle/brake?

Or do you just run with a GPS data feed which will presumably show speed and G?

It would be a good thing with a breadcrumbs style overlay showing either track position, or location through a special stage. GPS feed should allow that to happen too?

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
