Hey guys, just found this section so i thought i would post a few pics, i do allot of track work up at Mallala International Raceway here in South Australia, don't do much skyline stuff but a small group of them came up to a track day recently along with the new R35 GTR so i put in a few of the photos from that day, almost all my work is with Porsche's, mainly 997 GT3's so i put in a few of the photos i have sold of them to.

The first picture was requested by a client to be printed as an A1 size poster so i did that for him and it turned out incredible!! no pixelation what so ever, so if anyone is interested in one you can PM me, also some of my work is for sale here,

I have managed to get a whole day photo shoot with the first South Australian delivered new GTR when it lands here in June 2009, it will be a Black on Black/red interior, the white one pictured below is a grey import and isn't a Australian delivered car, will keep you guys posted on the photoshoot.. anyways, enjoy the photos, comment to let me know what you guys thing, good AND bad comments :D

I think you should take those pictures down and upload them properly and embed it again.

The pictures are all dark/soft/not sharp etc etc

I just went to that site you listed and the pictures look a lot sharper and clearer (esp the first photo)

Nice work and pls list what gear you are using :ninja:

Also any panning shots??

this is slightly better....

what lenses do you have?

the shots shown above were taken with either my 18-135mm nikon lens or the tamron 70-300mm, i also have a 10-20mm sigma lens but that is yet to make it to a track day. when i get the D300 the 10-20 will be making more of an appearance

Dont mean to hijack your thread so I apologise.

With lens choice. Ive been told tamron and sigma brand lens are crap. I currently have a nikon kit lens 18-55mm and a 50mm F1.8 prime lens.

Looking for something with longer focal length like a 70-200 F2.8 but the price for the nikon is nuts!! is the sigma/tamron alternative any good in your opinions? I have a Nikon.

Thanks

i don't know who told you the tamron and sigma are crap....... i can tell you now they are not!! if you can afford it you should go for the nikon brand, but other than that the third party ones such as Tokina and sigma are 98% as good as the nikon/cannon ones and tamron is not that far behind. the third party ones are awesome for the price, i know many pros that use them as they can not justify the price. the main differences is the build quality, not saying they are crap, they are very good but the nikon are just a little bit more durable. also sharpness, they claim to be more sharp but every person i talk to can not pick it.....

hope that helps.

let me know if you need more info

I dont know whos told you tamron and sigma lens are crap. THEY ARE ONE OF THE BEST OUT THERE LOL!!!

If they were crap they wouldn't be in business. Professional photographers wouldn't use them if so!!

The price is expensive for that nikon lens you posted above (70-200 F2.8) coz its f 2.8 :) Its bloddy quick :(

If its VR it will be even more expensive.

Do you really need it?

Why not start of with something like this: 55-200 f4-f5.6 nikon lens VR

See if this suits your needs.

Heck even try out the 70-300mm f4.-5.6 AF --- BLOODY CHEAP!!! like under 200 bucks

That lens also comes with AF-S and VR - i think under 800 bucks..

I know there is a 80-200 one too.. About 1.4k :)

With some you can notice the big difference :(

Esp if you comparing it with the stock kit lens for example.

But yup the sigma/tamron are great alternatives :)

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
