anyway back on topic...

Goldzilla, your right, clouds and storms can make a picture look a special,

Crack out the 1/2 ND's for massive skies. :sick:

I'd limit the size of the group too because it'll get messy real fast if you've got more than 8 cars.

Mountains to city. Who doesnt like driving down mountains?

Mitchell's Pass (Blaxland) is surreal atm

A rock fall has closed the ONE WAY section except for the fact that 1 car can get through at a time between a chicane of boulders.

The sign on Mitchell's Pass Rd says at the top, "LOCALS ONLY".

At the sandstone Lennox Bridge there's also a rock wall as a backdrop before the ONE WAY section where the boulders are sitting on the roadway.

not used to the terminology, but i assume that by 1/2 ND's your referring to the filters??? fun thing is, if you do HDR, it automatically turns any gray sky into the coming of the apocalypse, i usually have to do shop pschopping to make it looks less ominous.

That sounds cool, but i have no idea about places and routes through the mountains.

i'm happy to do it but i'd need someone like yourself to plan out the mountains part of where and when.

I looked for Mitchell's pass on google maps without much luck.

Whichever route we dont do this time, i'm happy to do a week or so after.

I'm happy to go down through there tomorrow morning > another post here tomorrow afternoon.

My car won't be in any photoshoot this weekend however, as it's getting a new rear C/F diffuser + new brackets put on.

I'll need to see if the boulders have been removed - or whether they're still sitting there.

The whole weekend's weather is inclement but the rock face looks great with glistening water all over it.

Mitchell's Pass Rd is accessed from GWH Maccas Blaxland where Yondell Ave > Mitchell's Pass Rd

dont worry about not being free this w/e, i'm not either.

I'm hoping that the pass remains closed until later tho... i'd hate to have to go and cause a rock fall myself just to be able to use it again

I'd love to be part of this... just got my baby back after three weeks of surgery :D

But not in the next couple of weeks... hopefully, since you're dealing with small groups, i can be in the next one

Graduated Grey or Neutral Density filters - google it. :)

Also look up the Cokin filter system as it's better for Graduated style filters rather than screw-on filters.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.

      By Duncan · Posted

      So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....knowing that I have a problem with power steering temps on track and another Wakefield day booked in next Friday, I've done the obvious thing They are very reasonably priced at $1650, considering they are a big monotube shock, double height adjustable (don't have to change pre-load to change ride height), one way adjustable damping and standard sized and customisable springs if you want something other than what comes with them. They come with 9kg/mm front and 4.5kg/mm front and I went with that as a starting point because I'll add adjustable sway bars too https://justjap.com/products/bc-racing-coilover-kit-ds-ds-infiniti-q50-v37-14-current#description Unfortunately they didn't come with rear strut tops so I've re-used the factory ones which was a bit of a pain. Also, the adjuster for the rear shock will be an absolute nightmare to get at, and while there are extensions in the kit I can't see any way you can actually attach or use them

      One Headlight isn't working - Driver Side Fuse Keeps blowing

      By Duncan · Posted

      I also had 2 bulbs blow at once, years ago in the stagea. made for a fun drive home. The issue was the voltage regulator had failed in the alternator and it was giving 15+ volts. Really, I was lucky all that was fried were the headlight bulbs. So, I'd suggest you check the voltage across your battery terminals with the car running and warmed up. Yes, you will need a multimeter to do so, sorry.
