Awesome video man, I have to get one of those cameras for my car quality was actually better then I expected.

Do you have any info on where to get the camera and how much they cost? Are they easy to setup and can they be moved from car to car?

The cheapest place for GoPros I've found is here: http://www.camerastore.com.au/

The video quality on their new ones is awesome, click the 1080p button in YouTube and you'll see what I mean. The audio quality isn't very good, but it's a huge improvement over their old ones. The 2nd camera looking into the car is an old GoPro Wide. They're pretty crap.

They have 2 buttons so they're easy to use, and the Motorsports Hero version comes with a heap of mounts including a suction cup. I was using a Ram roll bar mount combined with a GoPro tripod adaptor for the main camera, and a GoPro roll bar mount for the 2nd camera.

It's only happy laps, I wouldn't be worried about that. Come to a sprint day or something then go flat through the kink ;)

For those interested, 'helmet mount' goPro kit and LCD backpack, on special at torpedo7:

+11ty. Happy laps is not the time to be finding the braking points, or taking the kink flat...

Dont tempt me. I can see why they put on Happy Laps. It is to tempt people to go to the next level... I SO want to do that.

But i think i will have to wait until my car isnt my daily.

So hurry up and get it all Kleeman'd up already :P I'll have a new Turbroz fitted once I land a new job and even my fat ass will be faster than you.

Lol.

I'm probably not going to.

I'll likely do this:

And call it a day.

That will get it up just over 400. I've heard too many horror stories involving SC 55 engines.

Next car I buy I'll just make sure doesn't NEED any go-fast bits!

I do sprints in my daily ;)

Yea but your daily rocks and is setup for some track work. Mine is good for straight line stuff but when a corner comes up it is all on for young and old.

I will get there tho.

I don't do sprints in my daily, but I do do plenty of track/training days.

Kiwi, let me know if you get that other video you mentioned up!

Will do. I have to edit it coz it is 18mins long. stupid youtube lol

here is video 2... or actually the third one. I havent uploaded the first one as i need to cut it down by three mins lol.

The vibrating noise you here i have worked out is the weathershield on the passenger side flapping in the breeze, the bottom isnt stuck on peoperly lol

im working on the last one ( or first in the series ) now. i might get it up on here tonite.

    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
