Is there a jaycar anywhere near you? They have them listed on their site. Search "camcorder" on their site and it comes up

Thanks for your reply but I am in Japan so Jaycar is not an option. Also as shown on the attached picture in my previous post the camcorder cable has a different ground. I can cut and solder but would prefer not to, especially as the ground goes to each of the 3 RCA connectors.

Well, it would seem the iP5 is suffering from shonky battery life (surprise, surprise). People are reporting 4 hours tops, but with some fettling and resetting of settings, and turning a heap of shit off, it can be extended out to possibly 8 hours.

Gee, that's not dissimilar to what I get with my Velocity. Isn't superior battery life one of the virtues of Apple products?

Not a big deal I suppose. You could just go out and buy a higher capacity battery and put it in like I can with my Velocity.....oh, wait....

I haven't actually put a different battery in yet. Haven't had a need too.

The HTC Velocity is called the Vivid in overseas markets and comes with a 1620mAh battery.

Got purple?

This iPhone 5 really is revolutionary, isn't it? Shitty battery life, crappy camera, incompatible with all the stupid non-micro USB devices one was forced to buy in the past, specs which do not better it's high end competition, the most awesome mapping on the planet, a connector plug that, after costing you another $39, doesn't do video out and, of course, there's a good chance that when you opened the box to unveil your shiny new toy, it wasn't actually that shiny and had scratches around the case already.

Just got my Galaxy S3 4G today. It's much nicer looking with the chrome edge, and Jelly Bean is a ton smoother. Google voice is awesome, even more accurate than Siri I think!

Obviously the main attraction is 4G.. this is in Perth. Not sure why the upload was so slow, every round after was faster.

Apple will have to run an ads in leading UK newspapers as well its own website stating that Samsung did not infringes its products.

LOL

A US appeals court has lifted a sales ban on Google-branded Samsung smartphones in a patent fight with Apple, saying there is no evidence sales are driven by features copied from the iPhone.

Some sense was made that day

Thread needs to be re-titled

"Apple cash grab - ipad 4; how retarded do you ipad 3 owners feel now? Bet you'll still buy one, and an ipad mini, though"

Agreed and feeling pretty retarded/pissed off.

I don't give a f**k about the Apple vs non-Apple bullshit but to supersede a product after only 6 months is a joke.

i saw a headline for a story about the ipad mini and had a laugh. just made me think that they have put a sticker on the iphone 5 (or ipod) saying "ipad mini" so they will just sell the apple fans a second iphone/ipod

    • Thanks, I checked from the back of the cluster and no reading there. I undid the connector and plugged in the wires directly to start from where I'm getting a reading: https://imgur.com/a/W8JI6Yr Weirdly enough when I tried to get a reading from the crimps that connect to the fuel pump assembly, I got nothing. Not sure what's my next step as I have admittedly limited knowledge with electricity. 
    • Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.
    • Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.
