Default Gimme some ideas for Mods!

Well, i have full access to a machining shop overseas (my uncle owns a few factories) and i'm itching to pump out some mods for the Z guys as i did for the Maxima community..

i was thinking of the following, do you have any interests?

1. Custom Camera mount (safe for install w/o scratching the plastic) for rear Tower brace
2. Bracket and Hat adapters to put inexpensive 4pot Wilwood calipers for base/enthu/perform/touring models that didnt have the option of brembos
3. Knee braces for the track
4. custom pedals
5. relocation of the MAF sensor & longer intake w/ venturi
6. anything else?

Your camera on the tower brace got me to thinking. Do you think it will be possible to use the removable tow hook to create a bumper-cam mount for autoX and such? That would be cool, the sound and perspective you get from bumper cams is sweet!

i got these really small cameras from Taiwan with color and sound (picture quality really sux) but it has RCA outputs that you can plug into , say a Hi-8 recorder and it WILL record for example like you said about front bumper cams..

if you want to get the higher-quality security cams, they're quite expensive, but for a pet project with some so-so quality videos, its mighty fun.

you CAN get suction cup mounted cameras for hi-8/digital camcorders that you can place on the hood and face you, but they are not SCCA nor meet most Auto-X safety requirements.

but hell. if you just want to make a commerical/video of you driving around town.. more power!

i got my camera mount from I/O port products in Nor Cal. they make high quality camera mounts. with urethane bushings to deduce vibrations, and also you can adjust in free space.
