I've recently changed my head unit to a Kenwood system that has 2 camera inputs. I've already wired the reverse camera in and its working fine, however I was thinking of putting a camera on the front somewhere but trying to work out if there is a useful place to put it or if I should just throw it straight in the middle. Had even thought about running it facing out to the left at the front of the car (for blind intersections)

Is anyone running a camera at the front etc that could give me some ideas? And also what camera would you suggest as well?

Thanks

i have a simple transcend front camera mounted to the left of my rear vision mirror so i cant see it.

the better cameras are the blackvue.

not sure why you want to run it to your head unit?

these cameras have a wide enough angle so that one front facing camera will see around an intersection.

It's only because the head unit has two inputs for cameras, thought may as well use the other one, even with just a cheap camera (double DIN head unit). So not something I'm setting up as a 'dash cam' etc

Just something to help with Parking etc I guess, not that It's real difficult, however might be useful to prevent scraping on kurbs/concrete things etc.

I'm chasing something more like this, but just want to know what a half decent brand is without going overboard in price:

      I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
