Nick - great attempt. I just dont think it works for this pic. But i know you were just trying this for the 1st time.

Thanks Sidd. Yeah, I'll have to look through my pictures and find some that have a broader and/or brighter colour spectrum to try it with.

The bright lights around her head make my eye wander from the subject. They look like antennas or something, lol.. Good light on the rest of it though mate. She's cute. :D

I agree, that second shot of yours is great, Sidd, and she is cute!

Heres a few shots I took at Margaret River last weekend in Lake cave..

Thought I would try ISO 12800 and see what i can get hand held, no flash. Came out OK

Wow, surprisingly little noise for such a high ISO (well, at least to my eye).

Yeah I'll probably be up there with the 300 2.8. Anybody got access to the business side of the fence at wanneroo? I've been on the spectator side for far too long now, who do I have to talk to in order to get a media pass?

woke up this morning to find out its quite a nice day out so decided to dust of the camera and go and take some snaps.

oh and for anyone who doesnt own a polarizing filter yet...go buy yourself one, you will never regret it! for reference here are two photos of the same subject, first one without, second one with!

You mean into the pits? Get a pit crew pass from the race office. You have to know one of the races, but everyone has a mate who races :laugh: Shouldnt be too hard. As long as you have inclosed shoes, you can go right up to the track.

Was more thinking on the inside of the fence line, I know I'll need a high-visibility vest, but anybody know who I should talk to?

Maybe I'll talk with Sideways Sam and see if I can tag along with him for the day in exchange for some photos.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
