One thing that REALLY fckd with my head was the random person stationary on a push bike in the hills...at 2AM about 10 minute drive from anywhere...with nothing but a blinking red bike light. I wonder what was in the bag they had. Should go back during the day and look for human body remains/shallow grave.

....maybe I'll stay home.

Pete I was using a Panasonic Lumix FZ30. Nothing special, just an advanced handy cam (its no DSLR). Exposures ranged from 1 minute (shot outside Kahli's house with light trails) to just a few seconds. I think the exif data is actually on photobucket, but most shots were either 5-8 seconds or 20-30 seconds...depending on the conditions.

Steve, thats the one pic that worked out of about 100 or more that I was stickign my camera out the window for. I was using manual mode with about half a second exposure times, and a wide open aperture.

i really love this pic what was the settings does yours have automatic mode or your set it up manually

As an amateur photographer, I can say that those pics were taken with great skill if using a digital cam... I hope whoever took them comes to kellies next cruise :P I should hopefully have some cosmetic stuff done hehe

-D

yeah i also see it was @ 100 iso i normally leave mine @ auto and end up getting the back ground in focus too

i might try slower iso for that effect

The ISO is the overall sensitivity to light, and I don't think it has anything to do with focus. The lower ISO, the less sensitive but the less grainy, so better quality. The higher, the more sensitive but also more grainy.

I think you're talking about depth of field? The aperture determines how much of the photo (distance wise) is in focus. It also effects the amount of light entering. A higher value gives a smaller opening in the camera, which also gives a long depth of field (most of the shot in focus). A smaller value gives a large opening (more light) but means little of the shot is in focus, or, a blurred background (like most sport photos where the player is in focus, but the crowd is not).

I only used auto focus, where I could set on a 9-point grid what I wanted in focus.

Just a quick lesson on photography for everyone.

Wait, didn't I read somewhere that you were into photography Madaz? Did I read your post wrong?

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
