Hello

I have one Audio/Video input free in DVD player and want to install some? camera in the front bumper of my sky. I dont know if rear-view-camera connected will give enough clear image?? Will I be able to see something on the sreen with speed 80-120 km/h? If not than maybe someone know what kind of camera will do the work ??Any help would be appreciated !

Hey,

yes it is Chris and I cant wait for it. Matt spent all day driving from shop to shop looking for a front camera. He couldnt find any, and none of the staff at the shop couldnt recommend one so I decided to post it no here with hope for some help. Maybe someone has a better idea what to do with A/V input. I have 3 of them, 1 for rear-view-camera, next for front-camera and one more for ?? (dont want playstation etc.)

P.S. this is the link with some good camara in the front bumper -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=0euuDhG9GEk -Im after something like that

and one more link with some ebay-sh,,, camera -- http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=leYWVNpY184 - thats the reason why Im looking for some help, I dont want to buy by mistake a camera with such a poor image.

thanks

one more thing Im not sure about. If i install rear-view-camera in the front I`m gonna have image back to front because it is a reversing camera ,unless your screen have the option to mirror the image. ??

That first video link is shot using a MiniDV video camera, so it will be good quality.

I didnt think the ebay camera was too bad - you wont have the resolution to zoom in on a number plate, but considering that you've probably got a 7" screen and only hooking up a camera to view not record, i'd go with an ebay bullet cam.

i was just outside playing around with my reversing camera. in the middle of finding a location for it. Stagea not the easiest car to reverse park at night. my camera is goin behind the rear window.

as i was playing around i noticed via the screen is was very responsive ... like i was testing it moving it real fast around the interior, very clear also and was told its good for night time, but i will have to wait and see. should be fully installed and hooked up today. its gonna run constant power via the headunits power and i can just select the screen to view. i'll let u know how it handles doing the speed limit and how clear it is ..

its a Viscom VS2105N , from jb hi-fi, not alot on the web about them :cheers:

ok all in and very neatly tucked away. sitting on the rear break light houseing on the window. it see's a fair bit, very sunny outside and bright.

in motion 80kph. very smooth not laggy like a mobile phone or anything. picture quality... well its not dvd class but it could look like 10MP just guessing. can kinda of make out number plates at the lights.

only problem i had was . whats on my left hand side, is on the right hand side of the screen. but when i flip it , everything goes upside down, but only using this for perfect parking so no drama's there.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
