Guys,

A few people have expressed interest in helping with the filming for the track day on the 24th wether it be with donating stuff for us to use on the day to the actual filming.

I need to know a list of what we have available so i can figure out the best way to organise all this.

I will be bringing 2 cameras... one will be perminantly mounted in roys car on the mount he has and the other will be mounted either on the sideline or in someone elses car as someone else said they had a headrest camera mount.

So if you have camera mounts, tripods etc or want to help out with the filming from the sidelines please let me know in this thread as the other is too long now.

Also on one section of the day passengers are allowed so i wouldnt mind (with the permission of the drivers) everyone with cameras to go in the cars and film from the passenger seat.

This will all be going towards an SAU DVD which i want to put together in the near future once we have enough footage.

I wouldnt mind people bringing their cameras on the cruise this sunday too to take footage to add to the collection... so take as mmuch footage as possible and copy it uncompressed onto something for me if u please.

Cheers,

Ni.

Ok - Ni. You aren't allowed to have passengers holding camera's whilst driving.

At Phillip Island we snuck the camera's in and got away with it. The big difference is at Phillip Island you can't see anyone once you are out on the track. At Sandown you are visible the whole time. The only way you will be able to use an in-car camera is with an approved camera mount. I don't suggest anyone risk it or else you could get black flagged and kicked out for the rest of the day. Not worth it as much as I'd love a whole lot of cool in-car footage.

BTW - Maserati Day has 2 practise/passenger sessions (well they did last time) per car.

i think Shivam has one - not sure how good it was - i think i heard him saying it was not very stable at Phillip Island - but I could be wrong

I could just go back and read the other thread to find out who volunteered - but its way too long to bother with

hi guys,

yeh that tripod I used @Phililp Island is pretty crap. So much for buying a very expensive camera to capture track days with.

Adz - what sort of tripod do you have? Its hard to zoom into a fast moving GTR whilst zooming in using a cheap one.

If you guys want you are more than welcome to borrow the tripod for the day altho like I said - its crap for anything but still cameras. I won't be able to make it on the day because I have work commitments :P

Ill donate a case of booz for consumption by the professional camera crew, if other drivers want to pitch in then cool, otherwise im happy to foot the bill to keep those in the crowd entertained:alcoholic:

Yeh laugh it up INASNT, the only time you will be near my car is when we are lining up in the pits...after that you will be struggling to keep pace with the old RB20:)

And if the camera is going in my car then ill do my best to provide some entertaining footage, short of putting it into the wall:(

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
