Right now, I'm enjoying my camera and I'm always learning, but I can't get my head around why and when RAW vs JPG is best. I'm wondering - When do you guys use raw images and when do you use JPG? The quality looks, literally, exactly the same for me. I know there are preset 'modifiers' for raw, ie: exposure, brightness, contrast etc... but you can do all of this with any JPG as well... Help me get my head around this guys - Please!

Car is looking mint mate

Very cool - I could do that. I'll ask my mate if that's okay - Hes on these forums also 'fastjetjockey', drives a 34 Stopped by Forest Lake subway earlier today. Police walked over and had a look at the car - He said 'wish we had these as undercover cop cars'

First time I've had the guts to posted in here! Recently I took a few photos at my sister in laws wedding And couldn't resist to take a few photos of their car

I have a mate in Forest Lake with an R34 that would probably like to come as well. Might be able to get the misses to come if there is icecream haha What time do you head out? You guys having all your meets on the days I train

nah man, it wouldn't... one of the main uses of a pressure cleaner is to clean cars... it would be very difficult to put dents into steel with it. The 400hp one we have with full strength would be unlikely to dent the car. Unless he's shooting hail stones out... edit: forgot to mention, I think the very center of the roof is the hardest to put small dents on.. because it is the softest part of the car, thus has little movement. I imagine big dents would be easy, but small dents on a area which allows movements? Not sure there

I'm keen to come for the next one, as long as I remember - Just I wasn't free until 8pm tonight

I don't use them for the paint reason - but dents? Don't think so... We have a 400hp one - When the nozzle is turned for 'showering' no way it could do that. When its turned for strength, it wouldn't do it either. It would probably rip the paint but not dent the car. How many dents are there? 1 dent - You might give him the benefit of the doubt 2 dents - As if he didn't learn his lesson after denting his car the first time

Do you do this every week? I'd be keen for next Monday. Will be keen to see pwnd up close - Sounded great last time

That is looking superb man - very tidy. love the photos as well

Where and when are you guys rocking up to sunnybank? Haven't met any SAU members since SCC08 haha... But since then... got married...

Man - Reading so many of these threads are disheartening. Just wish you the best getting your hands back on your car

lol can imagine... especially after being blamed

The photos look great Terry

Looks really well kept man...

I'm not sure if you guys would be interested in this, but I've made quite a few still image videos - With very timid effects. http://mezmamedia.co...an_lan_wedding/ (my work server, not youtube sorry guys). After the first 30 seconds or so, its fairly standard still image effects. But if you fast forward to approx 2 minutes, you will get some different style image effects which sometimes make people go "hey?". If you welcome gaming video's, I have one with more than plenty of effects for a game which is 10+ years old (The video I'm thinking, I made about 5 years ago). I'll post up if you guys would like to see.

Nah you don't need a spray gun man... Make sure you don't sand it too early. I would wait AT LEAST 24 hours, but like troy said, no more than 3 days (Begins to harden too much). Also again, agree with what Troy said, you need to sand it back enough to get rid of those bumpy orange peel parts (The parts which are a tad higher than the rest of the clear). That said though - You don't want to sand PAST that flat bit, because all sanding after that, is sanding into good clear. Make sure you use a good buffer as well. You can't really hand polish that hazy look out well, you do need a good quality buffer and also, just as importantly, a good buffing pad. Edit: I've done great clears with the good quality can stuff. I have a air gun as well, but wouldn't use it unless its something good sized (IE: Bumper +). There are good quality cans these days are pretty awesome.

Saw EREBUS R33 at coopers plains today about 1pm

Sorry Emily - Didn't catch that last post you did. Was just randomly reading through these threads and saw I missed a reply here! I've attached a photo of the car with your 35 carbon tint. I have more photos if you want Emily.

Make sure you buy auto paints! I'm not sure in your location, but autobarn is a popular place in Brisbane to buy mixed and matched paints. When sanding down, make sure you don't sand TOO much. Also be prepared to get scared when you see how ugly your clear coat will be at sanding. Remember, the hazy white colour will come out in the next phase: buffing.

Got the camera out today and took a couple of photos.

The $30 looks to be for both the handbreak and the gear boots.

Hey mate When I had my 33 I bought them off ebay from a UK store. Wow they where great. The leather smelt awesome haha. Anyways, a quick ebay search for "R33 gear boots". This was the first link: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NISSAN-SKYLINE-R32-R33-GEAR-BOOT-HANDBRAKE-BOOT-89-98-/280602871905?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item41553c0861 Power Seller, 51 of these sold. "You are bidding on a new custom made top quality gear boot and handbrake boot made from 100% genuine Italian leather" $30 inc shipping.

Hey mate, saw you are from acacia-ridge - When you get your car let us know so I can keep my eyes peeled to give you a wave! I drive close to there quite often.

Would have to agree that Charles summed that up perfectly man. So many places, so many variables and so many different pricing schedules.
