thanks for that steve....looks good on the Dell 22"

Port Adelaide was exactly where I was thinking but trying to find an area with no or very little traffic could be an issue......unless its 4am.

Over a bridge to get that curved effect then photoshop the car out, leaving the stove trails, would be good but you don't want another car crossing while the shutter is still open.

you dont have to edit it in photoshop mate if the shutter is open long enough theyll just be a stripe :P

how do u get the light trail??

you just use a tripod and a long shutter speed if you look at this one closely

youll see that theres a white line on it where i was actually on the way back before the shutter closed.

wow that is trippy! how long till the shutter closes?

wat camera?

i want one! lol

im using a 400d

about 2mins it was open maybe 3

cool.....do you remember what shutter speed you used and what speed the car drove away approx.

shutter speed was 3"2.... drove away at drag launch after sitting for about 30seconds

mick what size n offsets are your cr kai's?

any side on pics that show the angle of the spokes?

wheels are 18" x 9.5 all round offset of 30 i think will have to double check the offset though... let me find a pic...

hmm, ok.....so was the shutter open during the 30 secs that you sat there cause I would've thought the car would be visible if that was the case

it was.... i was tryin to get the lights to be a bit brighter. car would only be still there if i stayed for more then half of the shutter or it was brighter out i think could be wrong though, dont really know why its not...

best one so far, shame its an old pic lacking a lot of mods. but as strange as it sounds, to get a good pic of ur car, its not about the car. u need to consider background, theme, time of day, locations of the objects in the image, etc. quickly taking a snap in ur driveway after u washed it wont cut it :P

and i managed to take this on a shitty 2mp nokia.

btw its not a skyline :banana:

      It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.

      By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.

      There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
