It has a back up battery, ive set mine to record for a extra 2-3 or so minutes after ive left the car, i run mine off the lighter socket, can be hard wired in to permenent 12v, then it can store any movement around your car it detects when your not around, will only record the movement it caught on screen.

It also has a shock sensor so any knocks are recorded.

GTRPSI do you still have the vid to post it?

I use a GW1H (not very good) flashed with DOD software (better), the gf has a G90 which I will give to mum and dad and shes getting the G907S when it turns up. This is 2300x1080p @30 fps or 1920x1080p @60 fps.

ill prob get one too and move the G1wH to the rear window and probably buy a Mobius for the rear when the mrs updates her car

i just got a Transcend 200
works well, has 160deg view

came with a big memory card
has all the usual stuff but also has its own wifi so you can stream and downloand to your phone and setting on the phone.

has no battery so has to be plugged in but not a drama. uses a long live capacitor to save settings ect.

also has no gps which is a plus. the gps are often inaccurate so you can be left with an overlay of incorrect speeds which can read to high or read that your mocing when your stopped. these can become legal issues.

Same, people laugh at me for having it, but then i show them these and they go.. "hmmm, maybe ill get one"

I use a JB HiFi cheapy and its been great (I cant find it on their website any more).

powered off the lighter or about 3 hours of battery it has full length single video or 5 min rotating video's. Doesn't log any data but its saved me an at fault insurance claim and helped someone else claim injury compo

Guy tried to say I hit him and I was suppose to give way cause I hit him in the back half of the car. Who knows where people get their logic from. The insurance fixed my car but then rang me saying from his story they are putting me at fault, I gave them this footage and didn't hear anything of it after that.

Guy's insurance was doubting the level of "impact" for the chick to have sustained her leg injury. Turns out only the witness can supply these as evidence as they told her that she cant submit it for her claim. Her insurance rang me asking what happened, hinted at the video but never asked for it directly, I offered it and they jumped at it. once they had it they ended the convo pretty fast, I guess its all they were after.

She did get her compo

I would be interested in an upgrade just for the data tracking abilities, If there is a group buy forming, I'd like some info.

You could have so easily avoided that first incident. The moment he put his indicator on, you accelerated so that you could block him out (you were travelling well behind him at the time). Sorry but that's just a cock move - plain and simple. You were lucky to get away without blame, because your video shows you being a dick. What's the rush? drop back a metre and give the guy room (or even hold your position, as he could have fit into that gap). Yes, he has to give way when changing lanes, but by being patient, you could have avoided the accident (regardless of whose fault it was).

YKWRGMG? Dickheads who have to assert their authority on the roads, no matter what the cost (yes, wrong thread I know - but seems topical)

I agree with the above post.

Total wanker for speeding up. You saw his indicator otherwise you shouldn't be driving.

I'm sure heaps of people with dash cams go out looking for trouble, your video proves it (in this case)

Vans have a blind spot. Everyone knows that you sped up. You are a tool . Argue all you eat but it's clear as day.

Just cos insurance settled doesn't mean shit. They make judgements on hoe much it costs to go to court vs just paying out for retarded shit like this.

Surely just slowing down is heaps easier than going through all the shit of an insurance claim. Even if "not at fault"

Tl; Dr

Don't drive like a dick head. Imagine if someone did that to you.

Yup it could have been avoided but the truth is, I didn't notice the indicator.

For the most part I will let people in especially If I'd have noticed him coming out of the side street and trying to get over.

Pretty hard to miss the indicator flashing for 5+ seconds and then a 2t white van moving across in front of you. Lucky for you the other party didn't pursue.

Anyway, dash cams are pretty handy, especially in cases like the second video.

I've got a few close calls recorded on my dashcam in the GT-R, that's why it's locked up in the garage these days (I should really install one in the Poosar).

i know mine only records when it has power which is when the car is on. you could hardwire it to run 24/7 but your would just record over everything in a short period of time.

i thin ksome more pricey ones can record after a gforce sensor triggers and runs from battery for a short time.

Any use for recording when the car isn't being used? I only ask because mine was gone through in the shed last night by some local miscreants. Would be amusing to post their mugshots up if such a device was available.

get CCTV on the shed rather than a dash cam. better quality, better night mode, can watch it from inside.

You can get cams that have motion sensor and runs on battery. The Chinese GT300 or whatever I got used to have good battery for a few months (always plugged in I'm guessing killed the battery), now the battery lasts 30 seconds.

    • What HVAC actuator is under the steering wheel? Do you mean on the RHS of the centre console, immediately to the left of your shin? If so, then yes, it is probably that one, because that is the mode door actuator, and from what I know, it's still a pain in the arse to replace. I don't know about whole dash out, but you certainly have to rip into the centre console section. I don't know if it's covered in the workshop manual, as I haven't spent much time looking at those parts of it. (and by "the workshop manual, I mean the R32 GTR one, which is the most comprehensive one we have, and it should be similar enough between that and later cars to serve as a guide).
    • ...oops. forgot the TCU end...
    • No I got mine from a friend that had fabricated one … but I had to fit it to my setup which was a hks turbo setup. His was a Garrett -7. So one of my turbos was not a flange for one side … then I had a leak in the welds I had to find a weld shut … in the end the setup was decent priced but I spent a lot to get it fitted. A couple companies I checked would make it but you’re talking 7-9k aud with titanium. No joke mine was 6-7k even second hand after I had to fit it in Hong Kong … labour is expensive here. 
    • I'd just like to restate that I don't think anyone here is actually hating I recently sold a car part to a guy who was building a forged auto R34, with MV stall and aiming at ~450kw. I told him that I'm him, from the future and to stop after it explodes once. I told him I knew he won't listen the first time, and that's fine. But if my predictions do come true - Change direction faster than I did. I also said it's probably no coincidence that the dyno plot of a reliable turbo engine starts to look a lot like a N/A motor. :p
    • Got just the wing painted and fitted up to the existing boot. Big visual change and about time after having a GTR wing sitting in the shed since 2018 Headed up to Mallala with a quick obligatory stop in at Boliver OTR Oil control mods seems to have worked. I checked the catch can after session 1 and there was a dribble of water/e85 with barely any oil in it. After session 2 and 3 there was almost nothing and I stopped checking after that. so either great success or catastrophic failure/block of the external breather The GTR wing made a noticeable difference in the 160-185km/h sweepers. It was a very hot day for the cars at over 33C but the previously done cooling upgrade/ducting/water sprayers meant I never saw over 60C intake, 105C water and 100C oil and temps would drop back down very quickly once I shut it down. AD09's are a decent tyre but certainly and expectedly a step down when compared the the CR-S/AR-1 I have had on the car for years of track days. The handling characteristics of my car which I often describe using the Tony Hawks Pro Skater balance mechanic where either side of the center is understeer/oversteer was much more pronounced with no "green/safe" zone in the middle. However, imo it steers well/easily during oversteer largely thanks to the custom ACOSTAL front end. Enjoy a loose lap POV with my mate giggling away as a passenger.   Group photo for Peer Pressure Racing made it back home and gave it a wash Overall a great success compared to my previous two track days where i cooked the Starlets motor and blew up the new diff in the R32
