ah awesome idea Xmetal

didnt come out too bad - suppose main problem is the vibrations in the conveyor belt

Not so much vibration, the travellator has a habit of jerking back and forth ever so slightly so I leaned on the handrail to stop myself 'swaying in the breeze'.

siddr20 - Glanz strobes.

Great detail and sharpness.

2nd photo - i would tried to get the whole 300zx in the picture.

Otherwise great colours. Did you play with saturation or anything in PP?

Thanks.

Yeah I think i took one that had the whole 300zx but i'd have to go through them which might take a while :|

I mainly played around with levels and curves. I try to not change the aspects of my photos too much, to keep them fairly original. But Photoshop always adds that little extra touch :(

a bit 'burnt out' in the 34 pic.. i.e. sunlight in the background is too bright for the pic.. might just be my personal taste though

Ahhh yeah. Nah i see where you're coming from. The photo was being taken almost straight into the sun, and the rear of the 34 just so happened to be in shadow, but yeah couldn't fix it with the levels so i had to leave it ;)

Decided to take the boat out to moreton island yesterday, wasnt too bad, considering the massive swells ,,managed to keep average speed of 34 MPH and burn few hundred litres or petrol over the day lol

Here are some pics i took, sadly all the pics taken with the massive wall of water crashing over the front didnt come out to well,

to our luck a dolphin came within arms reach from the back of the boat, head ot of the water then the tail :happy: thats on freinds point and shoot, i only got the pic of the big turtle that came within a few metres,

so all in all a good day, hope you enjoy the pics.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
