yea love that 1st shot of the gtr :/ Looks mean!!

Love taking natural pics and esp of portraits of people when smiling. Best part is that she didnt even know i took it.

Natural sun light coming in from behind and overexposed the background.

Thanks MR.Zennon :D

Really happy with that shot. Just realized i accidentally cropped the top of the head wrong. Will fix it up soon.

GoldZilla - Was it intentionally taken like that? Looks like tripod shake.

Nah, wasn't intentional - it was one of those quick shots where all I really did was set the shutter to 30sec, attached a suction-cap mount to the camera, and attached it to the windscreen of my mate's van which was parked in the driveway. I couldn't get a reading for the autofocus to zoom on, and because of where and how the camera was mounted, I couldn't manually focus either...

It was a bit of a rushed experimental photo, as we were about to jump in the van to head home, so I didn't really make the time to set a manual focus/exposure point, and I used the flash simply to help the camera get somewhere to focus on. Next time I'll either set the focus point (or manually focus if possible) and spend a bit more time on it.

I mainly just took the shot because of the clouds in the sky, shame they weren't in a more interesting pattern... :D

For next time:

Using the car lights to help auto focus is one option.

Another handy thing is to have a small LED torch in the camera bag for such occasions.

If all else fails (ie its too dark to even see if its in focus or not - like it did for me when I took the photo below)

just turn auto focus off and then manually set the focus to just before infinity

This reminds me - I did a couple of 30seccond photos the other night actually (during that lightning storm) - I should really see how they came out!

Hmmm, thanks for that, Zennon, I'll keep those in mind.

I'm pretty sure there are some spare LED torches around the house here, so I'll have to keep one in my bag. Didn't even think of using the headlights, meh.. Such a simple idea that I overlooked. :(

Thinking about that photo again, maybe I should have used the 50mm lens and seen what aperture the camera would have set for the 30sec exposure.

Couple of shots from a trip to springbrook today, waiting on ND filter to arrive so struggled with the overcast lighting and exposure settings to get the water right, these were the best shots of the day

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.
