i see... yah, ive had no issue seeing at night via my pioneer camera. and with the jdm fog lamp i can see even better. :)

but you know, this thing costs like 10x more so that could be why.

Here is what it looks like at night... you can see it is very washed out... daytime looks fine IMO though.

yah, but i suppose you can still a silhouette of an obstruction.

can you increase the intensity of the backing white light (tail lamp) to give it a tad more illumination?

I did more testing. I want to bring up the camera maybe half a star as the angle is not as bad as I thought. Still don't expect to see anything that is extremely close, huge blind spot if you are within 2 feet of the car on the side

Cossie- that's plenty visibility for night time. I thinks

:iagree:

Not sure what blindspot you are referring to. I'll have to see if there is any level adjustments on the head unit but I would assume there isn't since it is just a receiver, not the sender of the signal.

MattP725 03-02-2012 02:24 PM

BTW.. WTF are you trailing with that thing??? Looks incredibly out of place on a Z.

Gas is 4.50 a gallon, looks are out the window when it cost me 85 to fill up. Plus car has enough power to tow, its not a bad tow vehicle. I wired the camera to be on all the time for towing purposes

Tow hitch FTW!!! :bowrofl::roflpuke2:

Still jealous of the tow hitch.

cossie1600 03-03-2012 02:10 PM

Nismo=no hitch allowed
