Dude I was actually thinking about posting a Mr Burns picture when I said excellent haha.

Nah not a train station. Just like a train carriage covered in graffiti or something. I dunno exactly because I havn't been there yet but I've seen a couple of cars having their photos taken there and it looks good.

ahh even better! been looking at doing something like that. I think it was Matboy in the photo threads did a shoot with a blue (?) R34 with a grafittied background and bought out all the colours in the grafitti and it looks amazing. He is alot more skilled then me but haha, but I'll give it a crack

Nikkon?

Personally I think the canons are alot Easier to get used to. I have a 550D. Depends how serious you want to get and how much you know about cameras. Nikons arent a bad camera at all just think there a bit harder to get used to

Yeah a Nikon. Not full on serious but i would like to be able to take some good photos. From what ive researched the d3100 is the better camera to start with. Just trying to find some personal experience.

I have only used a nikkon once and found it harder then the canon. But maybe it was just cause I'm used to the canon.

550D's are cheap now cause there going out of production. Twin lense kitt with IS was what I got.

Well now I'm at a computer and can type, Ill say the one thing I didnt like when I used a Nikon was that they dont show a preview of the image with your settings on the screen (when you turn viewfinder view on)

My Canon I can switch to viewfinder mode and adjust my major settings till I'm happy with how the light and depth of the photo are

The Nikon I tried to do the same and it just kep the image that it saw, without altering the image in the viewfinder with changes to the settings (If this makes sense)

That was an older Nikon, probably 4 or so years old now so they might not do this anymore. Its more personal preference, I know lots of people using Nikon's and they like them and they take good photos. but I like the layout on the Canon's, they way they are set out etc.

Only way to find out is to use as many different SLR's you can get your hands on, I went straight for Canon but that doesnt make me right :)

Poor Phil

Has to organise everything :P

Something is in the works, just have to work out some dates. I will have to do something about that........

hey cal i spoke to rob a few weeks ago about doing a big cruise next year.

plan is for us townsville boys to come down meet up and go to the drags and have an sau drag night then party that night in mackay then cruise to airlie the next day and party there again.

i am looking to do it over a long weekend that leads into a monday.

is anyone interested in going down for either powercruise or jambo next year? as i am going to have a heap of holidays when i get back.

Ok I'll organise it. You guys all rock up at my place one night and I will plan which way we drive down to the breakwater :P

Did you buy a sexyline?

that'll be the best cruise ever :rofl2:

from the photo's i have seen of it, its very sexy :sick:

Will try and organize a cruise to townsville late This year anyway. Rob told me that Rob (see what I did there) won't be in townsville (or isn't in Townsville now) but I'm not sure what dates these are...... Obviously lol :S

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
