maybe no one is interested but thought id ask anyhow.

In my opinion, the shots are good, but not worth paying for.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but your friend doesn't seem to be an automotive photographer.

For those shots, sharp focus is needed firstly and the real "magic" here seems to be in post, with heavy saturation and the use of mattes/vignettes to give the shot depth.

All the best.

Pics look good man, but as said above, probably not the best to pay money for. I just had my car photographed for HPI the other month and have similar pics to you, vehicle moving from different angles, sun casting shadows onto car etc and the photos the photographer from HPI are fantastic. For example the one of your car side on while its moving is a bit blurred to the rear and the background is incredibly blurred, ie not the correct shutter speed etc while the one i have is completely in focus other then the wheels turning.

Just little things like that. Your's are still good photos man, better then i could do haha.

Yeah he came up about a month ago and did a few cars, mine and tristans (Gojira) got into HPI. No idea when it will be featured, they said it can sometimes take up to 6 months :(

Yeah the clutch got done in February, holds up fine now :D

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
