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.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      By MidnightR32 · Posted

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.

      Unless my sensor just died, was only a couple months old, I strongly believe it didn't. How can I test it? I never mentioned it being 20:1+?
