So i rigged up this simple, free incar mount for my gopro today and figured it was worth sharing.

You will need:

A drill;

screwdrivers;

the plastic base that your gopro came attached to in the box;

About 20minutes

Remove your interior light fitting. Grab the black base that your gopro was attached to in the box. Mark and drill two holes in the appropriate location. Mount it to the roof in place of the interior light. The plastic is quite soft so I suggest a couple of big washers and dont overtighten. Use the supplied mounts and arms to position the camera.

Nice Idea. I've been thinking of doing that one myself. You might want to buy an extra long extension off ebay to get it down a bit, but not too far, the spot metering gets a bit confused if there is too much overglare from direct sunlight.

I'll be doing something similar soon. Thanks for posting it up.

So, I finally got around to fabricating a mount. I tried the plastic like you but didnt like the wobble cause the base isn't as snug as the mounts that come with the go pro.

I made an aluminium base plate from a bit of angle and cut one side of angle down so it tucks up inside the headliner space. I then moutedan 8 inch magic arm. Will be testing this at some upcomeing motorsport event.

this is the view

yeah the plastic base is quite soft so Im unsure how it will go with vibration etc. I've only done a few short road tests so far and its been fine but I'm going to try it out at the track end of this month and see how it goes. How did you attach the magic arm to the baseplate?

This video will give you an idea. The base plate still moves around a little so I might put an extra two screws in to make it more secure.

I had another video that had a bit more vibration in it. Mind you, I use the curbs and on semi's you'll see the G-meter holding 2G's for over a full second.

    • 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.
    • 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
    • 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...
