:tiphat:

Morning all,

Going to get my ART pipes installed today :) Can't wait, just worried about leaking. Srenity suggested making my own gasket so might do that and will buy some OEM gaskets too just incase!

I'll bet you end up with the fake and the 10k ohm resistor for a mic. Also GJ with the cup holder mount company :tup:

Would you say the fake Sony was better than the Audiotechnica that everyone uses?

Good morning crew :hello:

Mr.onzedge, did you kick azz with your presentation?

Good Morning Everyone!!! :tiphat: :tiphat:

Mr.onzedge, how's the presentation??

'Morning

Morning all.

The Wife and I are taking the 370Z out today..

She is trying to "save" her baby....

For what I don't know, but the little beast is going out today.

She drives first, and then I get to drive it...

Should be fun, what am I saying, it will be fun..

hey there mr.alcheng! :hello: sorry to hear about your flight ordeal. :( i too hate connecting flights but some rural areas, wat can we do? not going to drive 7-8hrs just to get there. lol

thanks for your suggestion again on the 50mm. my camera is a cheapo D3100 which is a DX type with autofocus... it's cropped sensor and all. i think just from this i would go with the 35mm as most reviews are pointing that direction. :)

yes, the audio is a problem on the gopro. even if one has the best matching mic, it will still have that high pitched internal noise. :ugh2: but if i use background music it shouldnt matter as much.

yah, repaint is the best way to go for sure. clear bra is for those that dd their cars and get hit by rocks often on hwys. it's just a nusance protection really. i have clearbra on the rockers and will be replacing them soon. it's got a lot of nicks from kickup.

morning happy! :tup:

hahaha, yah, i can use that too. :tup: im really agitated at many things (work, relatives, car stuff) but i try not to think about it as being angry or frustrated for a long time is bad for the mind and health.

:hello:

mr.gale - hahahaha, maybe! :icon17: it's good to have several mics though as i can swap them out per application. :)

for in-cabin yes. if you're wanting to mic up the exhaust, then no. the mic will clip very easily. the fake mic would work well for non-car things i think...like taking vis inside the house or museum or something indoors. no wind cover so need to get one if for outdoors.

the real sony one should work well.... that's what im hoping.

the other sony bullet looking one would work just as well as the audiotechnica mic, it think. the sensitivity is near the audiotechnica...and it comes with the wind cover. the issue with the bullet is i think it was made for dictation/voice so the lower frequencies are cut out. it sounds thin. the audiotechnica has a fuller sound.

as a mic, the Rode was very good, but overkill for gopro internal audio due to high pitched noise... also needs attenuator as -10dB setting is too soft, -0dB is too hot. Rode is a mic id use on my audio recorder. but my tascam recorder already sounds very good for wat it is so didn't feel like keeping the Rode.

bottomline.... dont spend a lot of cash on the mic for gopro. if you want real recording, use a separate audio recorder and use the gopro audio to sync. :)

I have nothing planned for the Z's today. The last two days were amazingly brutal. 9 hours of presentation Tuesday and Wednesday with only a 30-minute lunch is pretty tough for an old guy like me. This was the culmination of a few months’ worth of work and now we get to wait and see what they decide.

The drive home from Menlo Park, dropping one of our guys at SFO on the way, was big joy-time. 125 miles in 3.5 hours. I love the bay area sometimes.

I get bored so I look at cars. Remarkable vehicles I saw, along with their sighting frequency, were:

350Z 14
240Z 1
Nissan Leaf 1
Toyota Echo 4
370Z 0
Ferrari Enzo 0
Nissan Juke 1 (mine)
Assorted Riced-out Acura/Honda/Mitsu 53
Toyota Prius 4,325

:iagree:

:wtf: A Honda filter will do? I'm not sure what's going on, then. This is a Nissan dealership! :ugh2:

wow, looks like you had a good time over at bestbuy or sears appliance dept! :rofl2:

glad to hear you made it home safely, mr. onzedge! :hello: nice job not giving up. :)

Good advice here ^^ thank you.

I'll probably pick up the Audiotechnica because I plan to mount it outside the vehicle near the exhaust. I don't think I need a mic inside the car, nobody wants to here me breathing, farting and swearing at other drivers. :icon17:

the Z does not use any 'special' filter. one can source one anywhere pretty much, even walmart has M1-108/M-110 and HP-1008's.

:rofl2: hahaha. if you dont have one already, i recommend a tripod to hotshoe mount as that mic had no shotgun 3/8" screw hole on the bottom of the hotshoe for some reason. :ugh2:

:icon14: brutal. Here I thought the traffic congestion in the GTA was bad. I'll take what we have thank you very much.

How many Tesla did you see? :p

Good morning Mr.alcheng :hello: good to hear you made it back safely :tup:

Ms.Pint, I hope you're having a better day today.

Thanks for the reminder about the tripod to hotshoe mount. I need to maximize my orders when buying from the US. :tup:

Hi Mr. Gale! :hello:

Sadly no. Woke up with worse vision than previous days and the drive in was pretty scary. If I can't figure out what's wrong with me, driving may be cut for me.

:tup:

they also sell tripod mounts for gopro's which im sure you already know which take the standard 1/4" screws. :) ive seem folks diy using the box and a nut, but that' just too much work for a $7 part. lol :icon17: hahahaha.

the bacpac LCD is a must-have i think. i set it to turn off automatically at 120sec which is plenty of time to setup the camera inside my car, check the aim, etc.

sorry to hear pint. i had my eyeballs and brain checked by my doc a week or so ago. he said he found no problems since nothing inside. :icon17:

woot, got shipping conf for the real sony mic and my backup 32GB sandisk. :p

hope to have that steadi cam thigie for f-day. i want to take some exterior shots of my Z using the gopro. im still undecided on camera #2... cant wait to go to the mountains someday to take some scenic shots with my gopro too...

:tup:

:tup:

:rofl2: Then you at least have it easy!



I hate putting money towards a diagnosis. That money could go towards wheels. :shakes head:

Howdy, Pint!!!

Thanks for the tip. I gotta download the manual and start reading. I'm just busy with other stuff. Don't have time to work on my car. :shakes head: Also, my wife has forbidden me from working on my car. She's scared at the thought of it falling on me. She still wants me around for a while. :tup:

remember the rule pint, walk one mile per one slice of pizza. then the money can go to your wheels, not your heart. :icon17: hahaha

jokes aside, hope your vision get better soon. :hello:

Hello sir! Glad you're done with your presentations, we've missed you. :)

I've given up frequent pizza eating because of your rules already! :tup:

np, if you seach Mobil and K&N websites they will show you the PN compatible for your car.

the car is not going to fall on you if you use the right equipment. i just use a rhino ramp with a home-made extension and wheel chocks. in fact, as soon as i get the gopro setup audio setup completed, im going to do the oil change on my Z. :)

btw, why does this site bump me off offline without asking? it's like i try to post and randomly it kicks me out tells me i dont have permission or something.

i think this is racial discrimination. :mad: :icon17:

Wow, Pint! :eek: I hope that you discover the cause of the problem.

I can hear my wife now. NO!! Where are my jewels?!! :shakes head: Sometimes a brother just has to stand up to his wife, right? :ugh2:

she can put life insurance on you and tell you to do more work under the car.... :ugh2:

Maybe one of you can point me in the direction I need to go. If you're in for some light reading and general complaining.

Thread relevancy: I drove in to work today for the first time in 2 days. I missed my baby.

If I'm active and logged in on a PC, it leaves me logged in. But I've noticed that it will time out regardless if I'm using my smartphone.

:icon18::icon14::eek:

I haven't experienced this. I'm using Android devices. Hmm.

I just found out that Nissan plans to build a 785 million dollar plant......


IN CHINA...
