Cheapest way I can think of is one of the $99 TV tuner cards. Most (if not all) have hardware video capture built in. I'm not sure what sort of quality it is, but it'd easily be better than VHS.. :)

revhead: ive never used the hardware capturing on the tv tuner card, i might have to investigate this! i'll connect the vhs recorder to it later today :)

goon: the camera was on a suction cup mounting bracket on the rear windscreen...was awesome. but now i think wakefield will only permit passengers to carry cameras or if its mounted it needs to be caged up...as for it being too close for comfort? nahhh i knew what was happening :)

haha, damo has a bit of hardware now installed on his car! he's definately going to have some fun!

yup, dopey, lots of fun! even for a punter like me!!! i remember my first time out, you couldn't wipe the grin off my dial for the whole day, was awesome :)

wld33r: afaik, there is one other skyline going down. i think its a 33 gtst. your friends are wrx'y guys? cool!

i have some more vids, but i dont have anywhere to put'em up :rant: i have 3 compilations a mate put together from back in 2000/2001 which include an original 22B and GTR700 in its former self ;)

i remember they were building one, i dont remember they building eric's typeR though? in any case, how fast is fast :) :) :)

i've got 3 new video's being hosted soon :) unfortunately, they are of my early WRX days and the fun down at wakefield i had :) you might notice an authentic WRX 22B and a familiar purple R33 GTR (GTR-700) in its former self too :)

edit: here they come :)

not Eric's car.. Brian's Type-R. Wheelspin in 4th gear when VTEC kicks in on Toyo semi-slicks (not wide enough, need new rims + tyres). crazy lol... hopefully we'll find out how fast on Thursday :)

Eric & Ben will probably go at it all day again.. Ben's got TODA 288 cams in his sprinter now... :)

okay .... this is absolute gold. this was from last thursday's trackday....

it speaks for itself. highly stupid thing to do, but the commentary is just tooooooooo funnyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!

frank where did u get this vid??? russ and a passinger (jimmy) are working with me... russ just gave me his full tape... THAT'S SOME GOLD... he was very lucky tho... 'only' stuffed one off the rims + tyre...

eeeeh if i didn't sell my r33 i would'we been there :rant: with them :)

ps. we'we been HAMMERING him for this for few days now...

    • Sorry had a bit of a week and haven't had heaps of time to follow this, so apologies if I've missed something - any chance of showing a log with the rpm, turbo speed, MAP, and wgdc all in one view? Definitely an "interesting" problem, and while it's definitely worth noting that there was a similar issue with the twins I'd not completely put all bets on the root cause being the same thing.  Keep an open mind, follow the data.
    • I built this engine approximately 12 years ago so my own head (brain) is a little grey on the exact hardware in the RB head, however what I recall is. Stock RB25 NEO TURBO Intake Camshaft HKS 260 degree Exhaust Camshaft (R34 GTR) RB25 NEO Turbo Springs  I ported/removed the exhaust stud humps found in the RB25 head so theres less turbulence but it wasn't ported/polished properly, just a hump removal. I've attached two pictures of the before and after to illustrate.     The ECU gets its boost reference from the nipple on the rear of the head on the intake side, behind the fuel rail. The wastegate gets its boost reference from a nipple on the cooler pipe immediately after the comp cover.  Could a decent pressure drop across the intercooler cause the wastegate to be seeing a higher PSI than what the ECU is seeing, and thus it can't control it accurately and quick enough?   We ran a line to the actuator and watched it open and close using an air compressor, while we didn't have a gauge on the line to see when it was cracking open, it was opening smoothly.  I just removed the gate now and even though the documentation says you need to open it in a vice due to preload (which I did), there wasn't any preload on the cap, which is something we noticed straight out of the box as well when new. This silver cap internally is threaded to the actuator rod that runs out the bottom of the straightgate. Not sure how I'm supposed to get this spring out to be frank.. Potentially but everyone else doesn't appear to have to stop at 500kw because of 6boosts design.  I would, but I think I'm getting to that point where if I'm going to do the head and make another 100kw, then I'm going to need a fancy gearbox and quite a few other things and 10k becomes 20k becomes 30k within a few months. I'm not necessarily sold on the idea just yet that the head is restrictive at 4000rpm (and what.. 300kw?) and yet doesn't seem to be restrictive at 7000rpm when it's making 500kw, however I'm obviously not closing the door on that theory.
    • Yeah - Half the problem is I know this sensor actually goes to 150C.. I'm pretty certain it is min of 11C. So still more data required I suppose. It's really quite hard to get the oil temp to 100+ then immediately pull over and take a reading before the temp drops. Annoyingly I suppose the range I really 'want' is likely 80 -> 120C. TBH the ecu can't really *do* anything with it, and the gauge itself is very visible... ...but you know how it is.
    • My EFR 8474 Black, made 800awhp on a roller dyno. at 25-26psi. E85. Shaft speed was around 106,000rpm 1.01 rear. The rear is maxed.  6 boost Turbosmart 60mm gate 3.5inch exhaust  Head is worked to the shithouse. Bain racing. VCam. 272 exhaust. RB28 - RB26 foundation.  You have an intake issue. Start getting proper data and I mean go back to the simple things.  - Pressure test your intake - Block off the Turbo BOV, you don't need it.  - Test pressure before and after your intercooler If your head is pretty stock, that is your issue. Especially if it is NA.  Take it off and spend $10k on it. 
    • Temp = -21.052 X Voltage + 114   That should get you pretty close. Calcs based on two points I could do easy calcs on (30 and 70 degrees).   It also says your sensor should only read as low as 9 degrees when it maxes out at 5V, and should hit a peak of 114 degrees at 0V... Just as a heads up if you were going really cold places, or wanting to be aware when temps really go up with it.
