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.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
