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:(

    • 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.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
