looks like its choped though

Yeah added in photoshop, I don't care if photos are real or not, as long as they look good! :happy:

They look excellent!

The lightning one is outstanding, looks like the real thing. :huh:

The 3rd last photo of my car came up brilliantly in PS when i played around with it, that one seems fairly yellow!!

Yeah I delib gave that photo green lighting, why... because it looks good! I've had the most comments on it so far on DeviantArt

http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/48756534/

I've also got 2 other versions of it here @ home dave, 1. The original lighting tweaked, 2. ^ the green version, 3. A blue’ish version.

Might post up a few more variations later.

I'm not a photographer so don't take my word to seriously, but it looks like you went over the top with some of the flares on the lights in photoshop..... takes away from the car....

I'm not sure 100% sure what you mean, but if you’re saying I modified the light flares in Photoshop they’re actually un-modified, that’s how the photos came out from the camera / camera settings. On DeviantArt another guy said the same thing thinking that I actually added or enhanced the light flares, all I’ve done is tweaked the levels, hue, colours etc.

My main criticism of the photos is that we didn't get the right angle / amount of light on the cars sometimes (mainly mine due to it being black). But overall they still look pretty good due the location.

Although we were taking shots of the cars, the car isn’t the only focus, it was a good location with nice backgrounds due to the lighting so it was deliberate to include the background (with the cool lighting) in the right perspective into the shot :mad:

Next time will try to get better focus / lighting on the car, & depending on the background lighting, maybe reduce the aperture if there's too much light flaring going on.

first one seems like u used a high ISO, or adjusted the levels TOO much for it to come out noisy like that

The first shot I recently re-posted it with added sharpness. I like the grainy sepia look in that photo, if you look down to the other version (2nd last image) you’ll see its not as sharp & looks a little blurry in my opinion (yes due to too high ISO I think). A similar grainy image I think looks good is http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs14/f/2007/022/...2_by_geno8r.jpg

agree use lowest iso next time! less noise..otherwise some great shots

Yep! Agreed. I believe we were using ISO 800, we wanted nice colourful photos due to the nice lighting / location but it seems it was too high giving us too much nose, def will try 400, 200 next time.

  • 4 weeks later...

Hey,

Lookn good. First pic of the 300 by itself is my favourite.

Last pic with the lightning is aight but the reflection off the side of the car puts it out of place.

I think alot of those photos with the cars by themselves would look better if the wheels weren't turned.

Nice work!

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
