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.

love that shot :P

thanks i would upload the full res pic only its about 6mb......

as for the wheels they were nice till i lent out the car and it had a bang, so there off getting repaired now, god knows what theyll come back like :banana:

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...

thanks for the info....always good to ask which saves us experimenting too much

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:

    • Reading through the engine service manual their advice is do a cylinder balance test. Unplug one injector at a time and see if the idle drops a consistent RPM. You can also do this using a Consult cable which is easier. They also call for unplugging the power transistor, then with the engine off and the fuel rail unhooked from the manifold verifying that you have good fuel flow (even injection, no dripping/leaks, etc) when you twist the CAS by hand. Also verify the spark by pulling the spark plugs and allowing the plugs to ground and turning the CAS by hand. I would also start doing the sensor checks and idle valve checks in service manual. Make sure the MAF tests reasonably, the intake air regulator is sane, etc. You may have to get new spark plugs.
    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
