hahaha cool so you'll pay the other 30k for it :down::D

Hahaha just goes to show how much i know about skylines :D

Look i just take the photos ok?!?! haha :D

Keen for cruise? :D

nice pics fullyhyperlite, good framing and lighting, nice to see :devil: you shooting RAW? Much post production? (Photoshop). u tried sending them to some car mags, you might get some freelance work to cover events, cruises, shows, things like that (could put a little bit of cash back in your pocket). You have to sell your self a bit in the industry, can be the worst part about it. also, try taking some photos of normal, boring road cars, try and make them look as good as the photos you've already posted here. If you can make them look good, taking photos of cars you like becomes a lot more fun :D

Bingo,, you now have your mission to make mine look as good as these posted :devil:

Hey thanks heaps for the kind words :D I really appreciate it.

I only shot half of those photos RAW, the other half just normal. And photoshop use is quite limited, only changing levels. Apart from that - nothing else has been edited.

Yeah sending photos into car magazines sounds like a great idea. I hadn't actually thought about it, but if it could get a lil extra cash in my pocket im all for it haha. Best thing about it would be getting paid for something i LOVE doing, which is always a bonus.

Yeah a few mates want me to take photos of their cars, and they aren't anything flash either. I'm thinking of maybe making myself a website, showcasing my best works, or something along those lines. Get my work out there a bit :P

Im thinking for meet spot of cruise - possibly near Marion. Do people know where the Marion Cultural Centre building is on Diagonal Rd (the really ugly looking one haha). Maybe in that carpark...or like the marion side of the building because there wont be many cars at Marion at say 11am. And then from there head down the coast.

What do people think? ANy particular coast spots that people know of that are good to stop at?

Anywhere along the esplanade near largs pier and semaphore... nice area and theres a stretch with a big carpark

-D

No probs :P , try and do as much using RAW and in Photoshop as you can, when you apply at most places for this type of work, that's one of the 1st things they will ask you 'can you use Photoshop?' It was one of the 1st programs i learnt, then everything just went from there, prob should not say this, but even try get yourself a dodgy copy for home (even an older version), just so u can use it as much as you can, thats how i started (and sooooooooo many others), i finally did pay for a copy, 7 years later :rofl: (places i worked paid for most of them) but now i'm a good boy and pay for all my software. hurts the bank balance tho :D , you think cars can get expensive

Yeah photoshop is soooo complicated. Like im good with editing the things i already have, but not too great with creating things, and the whole airbrushing thing is way too complicated but id love to know how to do it. Ha i already have a dodgy copy at home. My auntie actually bought it when she gave me this laptop so iv currently got CS2 on my Mac.

Ha yeah Photoshop is quite expensive to buy. But yeah, learning to use it properly is going to be tough haha. Its ridiculously detailed haha.

marion 11am im out but may catch up later depending on how south you go

Could possibly go as south as Seaford. Thats depending on whether or not people are keen to go from marion, through hills and back to the coast again. But i know a few good coast spots down south. - O'Sullies Beach boat ramp is big and where i took the photos of the 300zx and 34 and that'd be cool to get a few group shots down there. Really up to people and how far they are willing to drive, especially you Northies :rofl:

why would you pay for it? ive been using CS2 for about 3 years now, got a whole bunch of plug ins and filters and there all "dodgey copies" all worth close to around 2k by now...... just curious as to why you would pay for this stuff?

Shhhhhhh you!! lol i have your photos hehehe. When you want them? I'll have time at the end of the week to get em to ya i reckon. Or maybe just wait till the cruise?

After enough years of doing that, i think at some stage, if you using it all the time for a living, you should pay for it, I've had the opp to learn a lot of different programs over the last 9 years, which i would hate to add up how much it would all have cost. I now only use a few all the time, and they are exactly what i need, most of the plugins i need now, you can't find dodgy copies (I've tried :worship:), Saphire plugins for Aftereffects, Final Cut Pro starts at 2k US (I don't need that, just an example). so i have to pay for others, same with most industries. That's fair

i thought you were going to do a proper cruise i almost PM'ed you

>>Like this one<<

maybe where not all thieves, do you walk into target and steal your socks too :worship:

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
