  1. dont get emanage..

    emanage = fail

    so you have run emange ecu's in your car ????

    what didn't u like, a bit more reason than fail might help a few people out, the only reason around seems to be with tuners, not the ecu, most tuners don't know the software, so won't touch

  2. thanks for that, i went and checked out some half cuts today and i think I’m going to go with buying a half cut and then do the conversion myself, as for the tail shaft that will probably be my biggest concern but besides that all should be sweet.

    theres also a bit of electrical if you still want certain things to work on your 32, it's fun pulling the wiring loom out, removing things, then getting everything back, the tail shaft can be send off to someone else to do, try finding an auto sparky who wants to go through you 32 wiring :D do your research on the electrical side as it's not just drop and play

  3. from Friday, get you ready for next Sat

  4. been through a few booze buses, only been checked once, i do the 'have the window down with head sticking out waiting for them to test', they look at you, and say 'on your way' been a few times where they have been stopping every car, so I'm just waiting, gets up to me, they let me straight through ???

    Pulled up to a booze bus abt 8pm ish on Ocean Reef Rd in the wifes 34 a few months back, they were stopping all cars, traffic builds up, i had 1 small camera mounted to the front of the car and 1 inside (i wonder what i was doing :) ), was sh*ting myself, Skyline will camera mounted on the bonnet, it's just asking for trouble, and if they watched the footage :thumbsup: .

    Nothing, just let me go without even testing me ??? they didn't even notice the cameras.

    i know my luck will change 1 day

  5. what happens if they do restrict P platers, to people like my wife and i, we only have skylines, both turbos with very mild mods, she's on her P's (only just got them, she's 34 so not to worried about her doing stupid things), do i then have to sell one of them/buy another car, just cause others have been stupid/unlucky ???

  6. also IT may give some younger drivers a false senses of im a good driver now just because i have done a driving course

    always be a few new drivers that will think that, and they would speed even if they had not done the course, but for the rest of them, esp with wet roads conditions at the moment, should have a better understanding of how to control a car

  7. why would you pay for it? ive been using CS2 for about 3 years now, got a whole bunch of plug ins and filters and there all "dodgey copies" all worth close to around 2k by now...... just curious as to why you would pay for this stuff?

    After enough years of doing that, i think at some stage, if you using it all the time for a living, you should pay for it, I've had the opp to learn a lot of different programs over the last 9 years, which i would hate to add up how much it would all have cost. I now only use a few all the time, and they are exactly what i need, most of the plugins i need now, you can't find dodgy copies (I've tried :worship:), Saphire plugins for Aftereffects, Final Cut Pro starts at 2k US (I don't need that, just an example). so i have to pay for others, same with most industries. That's fair

  8. I only shot half of those photos RAW, the other half just normal. And photoshop use is quite limited, only changing levels. Apart from that - nothing else has been edited.

    No probs :P , try and do as much using RAW and in Photoshop as you can, when you apply at most places for this type of work, that's one of the 1st things they will ask you 'can you use Photoshop?' It was one of the 1st programs i learnt, then everything just went from there, prob should not say this, but even try get yourself a dodgy copy for home (even an older version), just so u can use it as much as you can, thats how i started (and sooooooooo many others), i finally did pay for a copy, 7 years later :rofl: (places i worked paid for most of them) but now i'm a good boy and pay for all my software. hurts the bank balance tho :D , you think cars can get expensive

  9. nice pics fullyhyperlite, good framing and lighting, nice to see :devil: you shooting RAW? Much post production? (Photoshop). u tried sending them to some car mags, you might get some freelance work to cover events, cruises, shows, things like that (could put a little bit of cash back in your pocket). You have to sell your self a bit in the industry, can be the worst part about it. also, try taking some photos of normal, boring road cars, try and make them look as good as the photos you've already posted here. If you can make them look good, taking photos of cars you like becomes a lot more fun :D
