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?

    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
