scored a hero 3 black whilst on the honeymoon - far bit cheaper overseas. Accessories pricing was pretty similar.

Bought the suction mount last week - quite difficult to find in Adelaide but I found some. Below is a pic mounted on the rear of the bike - due to the curved surface the mount was not perfect and vid was shakey as fk so i'll have to figure something out.

anyone with a gopro 3 - I suggest doing the software update and if you didn't already have it - grab the app.

The very recent updates have pretty much made the LCD backpac useless, as you can watch back your footage & photos, see live filming - all as long as the footage is 1080 or lower. Anything larger is classed as 'Pro Spec' and probably is too large for wifi. The LCD backpac wont preview anything that is larger than 1440 from memory.

Also you can move photos over to your phone, possibly video too though i'm yet to test it.

Fantastic update.

Agreed. New update is amazing.

Still, I'd like to see 4K recording on live playback (Even downsampled to 720p would be good) and the ability to link multiple GoPros and switch between them live, instead of having to reboot the app.

But, the update is definitely a step in the right direction.

Perhaps bumping this thread is the best way to ask my question. I've got as trackday coming up and want a video camera to capture my pro driving skillz :nyaanyaa:

So what are my options? Let's not worry about price for the time being. GoPro seems to be the default choice but what other options are there? Within the GP stable there are HERO 4 Black, Silver and 3+ Sliver that would be of interest. Things that put me off the 3+ silver are:

  • Clearly shoots in less high 'HD'. Poorly expressed but you know what I mean. Not sure I care as I'm not looking to make pro movies here
  • High bitrate video is 'only 25mb/s compared to 45
  • Lower level 'low light performance'
  • No 'auto low light' feature
  • No Bluetooth connectivity - do I care as it's got wireless?
  • No Protune for manual setting control - but will I really need this? I fiddle with my DSLR but there is so much going on with video capture that perhaps less is more
  • No simultaneous video & photo - I'm assuming this is for getting high quality stills from your videos
  • No built in touch display (which is also missing from 4 Black, but curiously is on the 4 Silver

I don't want to over-buy but some of the above seem important and others not so much.

Be good to get some feedback from experienced users.

Thanks.

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
