Zennon - nice concept i like it.. esp that first one.. But i wish the shutter speed was a tad slower.

yeah that would have been cool - but yeah - was hand held at 200mm while leaning over a fence while standing on another fence - so yeah - wasn't gonna happen :)

Did like nothing on the weekend and took almost no photo's, but did get a snap of this guy. Image has been flipped vertically as he was sitting on the roof.

I like it as it almost looks like he has this expression of the surprised face of msn messenger (similar to this one :))

edit: side view:

Nice one. Not using a tripod?

Should have put the front wheels on a slight angle to show em off ;)

yes i was using a tripod for this. does it not look like it?

I find my wide angle lens is crap in low light so needs a longer exposure as well as a flash to bring the detail up, or else it can come out soft.

thanks for the tip on the wheels :teehee: , I thought exactly the same thing when I viewed it on my comp lol. TBH I was just out trying new settings / methods and angles, didn't expect to be able to use any of the pics as the car was filthy, but to my suprise it didn't show up :D

Zennon some great shots there mate.

ugh I should have known you were using a tripod lol.. forgot about the whole chopped bonnet/engine hahah. There is a bit of blur in the pictures which is what made me think about it.. using a shutter release cable or just pressing the button to snap the photo? If your just pressing the button thats probably what it was from.

Yeah I always forget to check some of the basic things like which way the wheels are facing, what shaddows are on the car, whats poking up behind the car etc etc untill I get home and notice on the pc.. I find myself scanning all over the viewfinder when taking a photo more and more now though, it starts to become second nature.

Just keep trying and practicing thats what its all about :D

Cali if you want super sharp and you dont have a cable release/remote try using timer

Here are a few pix from the recent test n tune day at wanneroo

Hey Frankies back. The fifth photo is Frankie in his Supra. See www.speedeventseries.com (on the front page under video clips - Franks spin at Barbagallo) for the last time he was there.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
