missed a couple of the noise spots in photoshop in the first one, and saving it to a lower quality jpeg f**ked with it a little

First time ive ever attempted taking and/or editing these types of photos so throw me some tips if you have any :D

Nice work Tabby! I took some shots from Kings Park as well, but without a tripod not one turned out good :) In the 2nd one (looks kinda trippy :D) the lights in the shadow looks a better and less over exposed. I had the same issue, the street lights look awesome, but the bigger signs are unable to be read.

Constructive criticism: there's no real focus point in the photos (which is, admittedly, pretty hard to set at night). That and the camera shake wouldn't have helped. Also, the trees on the bottom-left of the photos take up too much of the shot.

If you do have a tripod but not a cable release, the next best thing to use when you've composed your shot is the self-timer on the camera itself. Put your camera on the tripod, set the timer to 10sec, compose the photo, and then trigger it to shoot. The 10sec margin should give the tripod and camera plenty of time to settle any movement before the actual shot is taken.

Hey thanks for the advice!!! (camera timer)

never thought of that

yeah the photos are crap IMHO :)

but i had my bf, mate and his 'gf' there and they were whining about mosquitoes, so i didnt get much of a chance to screw around

also the crappy tripod wouldnt tilt any higher

i'll try the timer thing next time

Instead of tilting the tripod higher I would probably zoom in a bit instead if you can.

Try cropping the top and bottom of the picture a bit (prob a bit more at the bottom)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
