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 was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Duncan · Posted

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
