EDIT: Just realized the upload onto youtube has compressed it so much you can hardly see anything. Also it seems like the colours are lost in the stars..

This sucks lol.. Anyone know where else i can upload the video? Or exactly what settings to create the video? As in frames per second.. What format etc..

Just a mini timelapse video i have created.

You can see the Orion Star constellation in this video smile.gif

Theres about 100 or more images used to create this.

No editing was done to any of the images. Just a process of 100 images stacked i guess. Its sorta how i do stair trails..

The earth silently rotates while you sleep:

Hope you like it.

Isn't it possible to create a video like this with a whole recorded video while it's night?

I think it would be a more fluent passage if you create another video with a spool part of your whole recording.

But whatever i really like your video :P

You mean actually taking a video from a video recorder?

I dont think it will come out nicely. But then again i dont own a video recorder so i wouldnt know.

Also these pictures are 13 second exposures. So doubt the video recorder could capture all the light in.

Hense why ppl take pictures instead as your slr camera can capture as much light as you intend it to.

so how did you do it? the actual photo taking i mean

was it a manual - press the shutter every few minutes kinda deal?

or do you have some fancy timer that does it automagically

I captured about 100 images or so. Perhaps more (havnt really counted but theres heaps lol).

Each image is a 13 second exposure.

I noticed the stars slowly disappearing away behind the roof and hense why i stopped. Unless i would have left the camera on till the memory card filled up.

The same way you can do star trails. Stacking 100 images or so.

Heres my 1st attempt i did a while back.

what i mean is how did u take the pics?

did you manually press the shutter - wait 13secs - manually press the shutter - wait 13secs - and repeat (another 98 or so times) ??

ie so its a manual process where you sit there taking pic after pic for 20mins or so - correct?

Oh nah nah the shutter release cable was held pressed in. I came back 20 minutes later and turned it off..

If you got a shutter release cable you will know what i mean.

But now you are wondering how does the camera take pictures every 13 seconds or so. Its called burst mode. Use that setting, with release cable and it will keep taking photos till you turn it off.

Like this one:

But all right, thank's for the lesson :(

Great work for your first attempt :D

Stars looks thin and thats what you want (as in the lines)

Now the next thing to do is to find the southern Polaris. So you get the whole circle look.

But well done on your first attempt.

The software i suggested will help heaps as well ;)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      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.
