hey guys,

for a while now, a couple of us have been tinkering with the thought of making a DVD for ourselves. not for sale, just for our own private use.

any ideas and suggestions would be good. not looking to do anything stupid, but maybe events or cruises, friday nights or working on our cars.

we got all the equipment and editing gear. so feel free to give us any ideas and we'll see what we can come up with. if you would like some cool footage of your car on a DVD, just put your hand up, and we'll organise something. cheers, luke.

nah c'mon lets do something stupid! *puts on battle gear and hides*

i'd love to have my car filmed doing a quick pass (flying past the camera) or just sitting there frying tyres, im just not sure if there is anywhere that is private property and safe that i can think of, unless someone does'nt care if i destroy their driveway? but im happy to abuse my car if it means others enjoyment (and lets be honest, mine to!) but it will have to be somewhere safe (read: away from people i could hurt) and not a public road.

boring as bat-sh*t sean, filming cars on a dyno. how bout we get you and i near each other ripping our tyres to shreds? now thats good fotage!!!

Seeing this on the dyno boring? No way! :talk2hand :) ...

to be honest, yeah! i had fun at the dyno day at the nats with Jayce but cars on dyno's dont do anything--------> rev rev rev noise noise noise, ooohhh power figure..... its kinda exciting seeing it in person, but on video its just dead boring!

it much rather see a car doing what its intended for...being driven! if its so hugely powerfull i'd rather see it on a track doing its thing. and i really dont care what car it is but if its dyno footage on video it'll bore me, but by all means prove me wrong and find a way to excite my with dyno footage, if i actually enjoy it, then you've proved your point.

I think i just creamed my pants. do you know when this beast is going on and is this that blue one that was out at the charity cruise ???

Seeing this on the dyno boring? No way!  :talk2hand  :)  ...

I've been toying with the idea of making a DVD for a few years now. I've been collecting footage from track days, auto salon, dyno comps, etc. I want to do some night time cruising and stuff but is so hard to shoot with mini dv in low light.

One day I'll finally sit down and edit all this footage and create something. Just been way too busy to really get down and do it. I think I'll start bringing the camera out again on Fridays if there are good turnouts consistently.

I think i just creamed my pants. do you know when this beast is going on and is this that blue one that was out at the charity cruise ???

Thats the one -- you can read about it at http://www.200sex.com.au

Theres going to be a couple of big hitter cars at the dyno day, should be good :aroused:

i wouldnt mind some when my car gets the fmic on  i know its nothing special but i love it
lol there not making a documentray on sea life leigh! lol :jk: :)

/me runs and hides from angry angry leigh

(read: away from people i could hurt)

thats not what you told me you said you wanted me to hold on to your wing and see how long it takes for me to fall off while going 170km/h whilst filming it, now that i think of it thats not fair!!!

even though my cars still in the shop (with the price tag still on it bahahaha!) i wouldnt mind grabbing a copy of this it sounds awesome!!!

great to see so much interest.

just trying to get ideas at this stage. once we have an idea of whats happening, i'll post up about it again.

shooting at night on mini DV can be problem, but not if you got the right camera, like me. i also have access to an incar camera mount, which isn't dodgy, which took a while to make, and also a jib arm, which can reach up to about 5-6m high. we got all the gear,, just need the ideas.

and yes, stupid stuff would be cool, but only if we can do it on a private road or property.

I'm interested depending on what you decide to do. Obviously not game to be caught doing something stupid on camera on public roads.

Would be nice to be on film on my own grounds. Scotts Big Boys Toys already using my car in a TV ad without my permission. :rofl:

    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
    • But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Comparison of the 2: Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.
