Yep can't beat the Amazon price anyway...gotta throw in the suction cup adapter thingy too...

Come on tax return!!!

OK what am I missing? Amazon says it wont ship the contour gps to either my home or office address in sydney..what the?

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.

does 1080p

or this one that does 720P and is smaller and lighter

Contour HD GPS with suction cup attachment delivered to Australia for $318. And delivery was $58!

At least it will be delivered when it gets here!

Where did that one come from? Link ?

dude for mid 300s get yourself a go pro and buy the suction mount for it. it treats. and its tiny.

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.

tektrader once it arrives i will post link etc. due between 4 and 8 august according to ups tracking number.

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

Has anyone had a problem with their Radcam where the light strobes bright then dim, bright then dim etc, but the unit wont power on? In a bind and hoping its something simple

Sorry mate, not struck that. Have you emailed Mark?

probably just needs a little tap with a sledge hammer to re-align the molecules....

LOL, just one of those things. I have found a place 35kms from Zandvoort that sell GoPro HDs so will swing by and grab one in the morning...fark missing footage of Zandvoort. No footage from Stelvio etc as the camera went on the blink on the way up :( LAst year at Spa and Ring...lol has not been a happy relationship

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
