one thing i've learnt (i think it was on ns.com of all places) is to try not to shoot in bright, direct sunlight. you tend to get bits that are over exposed and bits in deep shadow.

try that maybe. im not saying your pics are crap. far from it. i'd love to get some shots like you are getting. anyway keep up the good work man and help me fill my hard drive

Ahh yeah. Cheers for the tip. I think Sl!m has said that to me before, but yeah. It does look kind of washed out in certain parts of photo where its just too bright, and the dark and light levels don't really compliment each other that well, for example in the second photo down?

But i guess im getting there :P Only been using an SLR since the start of this year...so definately getting somewhere. :P

Princesss mary or not princess mary????

coins defying gravity?

interesting cows....

are they clones????

2 pac with elton john? or biggie having a laugh

more 2pac? heheheheheeeee or maybe just computer systems engineers having a laugh!

rare rock collection !!! heheheheheeee

rare jewellry

i wish the mods had not stuffed around with my posts.... i mean seriously i was not breaking any rules... you sort of have to have the comments under each pic or it does not make sense... cheers mods for stuffing up my stuff.

odd looking fruit... one tasted like a rock mellon crossed with a grape fruit

well i've had mine for less than a couple of months so you've got one up on me. i think i'll start my own thread like the rest of y'all once i get off this cap

Ahh yeah do that, great way to showcase ya photos to general public, good to get advice aswell.

Although i haven't updated mine for awhile, though that bastard posting in my thread has reminded me about my thread in the first place..

Just shortly off topic...incase you actually LIKE his photos...he has now invaded our SA forum :P :P

If i'm out mucking around in the sun i'll generally chuck on the polarising filter to get rid of the glare, it also helps smooth out the exposure. ;)

Examples:

1/2 ND filters can also be used to even out the exposure between the sky and the ground:

Food for thought. :D

can get them at any photoshop - Circular Polarizing Filter would be (read: was) my choice

dodgy test i did when i first got it - no PP (didn't have a tripod then either lol)

I love the last shot. green porsche = yummy :)

Great depth of field in the first shot aswell. The focus is intriguing lol.

(Yay im at school in my photography class :)...and im on sau? lol)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
