Ben and Tim ran a go pro on the outside of the R34 in Targa, pretty sure no-one looked twice at it.

Go Pros are way overpriced now I reckon but their mounting accessories etc are great so it seems to make sense to me to get a good knock off to take advantage of that. Go Pro have the name and are cas

I really think it's awesome. As I said the only real bad side is that Facebook seems to be the main public place to show the quality. I uploaded one to Youtube but probably won't do it again. I tried

Bloody Amazon, I have seen this before. They will ship one version of something here but not the better one. :angry:

Happened with my wifes Kitchen Aid mix master. Sorry to lead you up the garden path.

You may have to use a shipping agent or look for another supplier that will ship it here.

So if you are on a tight budget, what is a good buy that is at least as good as a POV...nice if its HD, but price is the driver here

I was using one of these. The pic quality is quite good. Its pretty tiny for one of these style cameras. I fact I will sell the one I have for $40 of anyone wants it. I beefed up the mount a fair bit with an alloy bracket.

and for low 300s i get a contour gps with a suction cup which the previous pages of debate suggest is very capable and with gps functionality.

Thanks, I might buy another one with GPS this time. Put the GPS one in the nose and the normal version on my helmet. These are so small its isnt an issue to have a few provided you have the cash.

i bought a Contour HD 1080p about 6 months ago for about $350 with a suction mount

great camera minus the audio, wind noise really kills it and in my car it has a horrible buzzing noise so i have to turn the mic sensitivity way down, isn't a issue in my brothers car, think it would be the hatch on my 180sx vibrates a lot compared to the rear window on a silvia

bunch of video's on my youtube channel, tho it kinda kills the quality

plan on getting another soon so both my brother and me have camera's in our cars, sucks when i have the camera in my car and he does something good behind me :P

also maybe looking at buying another camera for myself to run on the outside of the car but not sure what if i want to buy another Contour

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
