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.

usually I use my motorbike Helmet & gopro mount works well get to see what the driver is looking at cones / direction etc. 

 

Has anyone tried mounting the gopro right in front outside the mouth part?

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.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
