Not sure where to post this....

I was up at Mallanats on sat doing it with my bro, and a few cars had stuck on video cameras.

Thought it was a cool idea and something i could get him for xmas.

But whats good and whats not?

Have been to a few places and have had sales people saying contradicting things to each other etc.

So after people who use / have one, any advince? decent brands etc etc?

Cheers

Get yourself a new GoPro Hero 3.

Built in WiFi so you can control it from your phone, high resolution, and you get the suction cup mount included with it. $400 from JB, less than that online.

Good value, I'll be getting myself another one shortly.

older GoPro's are just plain shit, GoPro HD Hero 3 has much better audio and video but still probably not as good as the Contour +2 or even the older Contour camera's but Contour's almost always cost more in Australia

I've got a Contour HD, the only issue I have with it is the mic, its really bad at wind noise, bought if from a ebay shop, was only $350 with extra's, compared to paying around $400 in a normal shop for just the camera, if you look around you and wait for a decent deal you will save a lot of money

Totally depends on your budget, and what youre going to do with the footage.

GoPro and Ion are about the same, both have wifi, both are roughly the same money.

GoPro always beats Contour and the new Sony in reviews, but never seen a comparison with Ion.

RaceRecall also do a nice Radcam which has better audio, but not as versatile.

You're always going to have a trade off, mine is Radcams inside the car and GoPro external, but Ion is as good.

Buy what fits your budget.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
