there was a blanket ban on them, for a while but they are starting to get wise, we were in talks with some-one who does drone following for arc as a friend of a committee member, he has all permits, but could not work out dates.

Am hoping now that things like rally V*'s and such use them that it becomes more frequent and easier to get. same as drone licencing from CASA is getting progressively easier.

Why not dash cam it? Even using a shitty ass $80 dash cam from 8-10 years ago picked up pretty good view and sound for me. I would think anything modern be very good quality and bonus you can just leave it installed and use as a dash cam...

whilst the res of those is great the ones I've seen have been fairly slow FPS (prob for space) where as the dedicated ones are much better. (not looked for a while however)

 

will install one in next car, think I could do a whole dash cams aust streams just from my 1 a week trip to work

HUme hwy brings out the worst in people

 

There was a really good dash cam a couple years back, pretty exxy but it was made for racing - had awesome quality video and GPS logging for lap timing with 10mhz(?) signal.

next moment car gets broken into to steal dash cam....

I remember having detachable face stereos worth less than a decent set up dash cam, or mobile phones that every-one was scared to leave in a car.

 

now throwing man $$ to something very obvious to outside folks.

Some of them remove pretty easily with their shoe mount, I wouldn't want to have to screw it off every time

Yeah that's a bit of a worry, $500 item sitting in plain sight, who can be stuffed removing it every time.

Those Sony XPLODE head units were the bomb, all dem bright red LEDs before RGB came into play.. the double dinn Pioneer head units were for the rich kids

Saw late 80's hilux on city link this morning, dints and rust on every single panel. Removed rear light globes so only the brake lights work. No lights illuminating the personalised and unreadable numberplate. Full dodgy, escaping tolls and speed cameras.

Has primo quality dash cam hooked up and iphone holder for maps. Car was a wreck, maybe waiting for perfect insurance claim.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
