will have to see what is around. things i forgot you have to take into consideration are both the position of the sun and also the direction of the wind. makes planning shots a bit more of a challenge

she'll be right :D

maybe, lol. i took a pano today at a lake that would look awesome in kite pics, but i would have to be on the other side of it due to the wind direction. not even sure how to get around the other side, lol.

And why would I need a pro setup?

It's very rarely a need, more of a want.

And if you listen to me, you're about as far away from being a pro as possible....

Think it would be cool on an r/c chopper with a talented pilot, so you can get the angle and heights you want.

Just on my wish list....

Easy, skip the kite, get an rc chopper....

It's how the pros do it(or how I think the pros do it)....

ah, i know why i miss understood you.

to skip the kite would be the opposite of what i want to achieve. i just want to have fun and fly a kite and try and fluke a decent shot in every now and then. there may be views that would require a helicopter, but i care not for them as the whole idea of attaching the gopro to the kite is just to see what you get, like a lucky dip camera type thing. i would have no use for a helicopter, lol.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
