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!

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! 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. but if i use background music it shouldnt matter as much.

hahaha, yah, i can use that too. 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. Quote:

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

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.
