Nice one mate.

Guys, I'm kind of new to this Photography section... Here are some shots I took of my GTR the last two nights. Let me know what you think? :)

Sidd and Matt, where are these locations, please? I've been looking for a few good places to take some shots of my car and others around the Parramatta, Blacktown and Hills areas...

Hey Nick,

The first one was taken in my driveway :blink: Over 110sec exposure, several handheld flash points around the car.

The others were taken outside a new building in North Sydney called 'the Ark' on the corner of William and Mount st, just off the Pacific Hwy.

Hey Nick,

There's a few good spots near Nepean River. You've got the boat ramp on your side, and you just need to drive along river rd on the other side and pick a spot.

You could head to Eastern Creek Raceway (obviously whilst the gates are open) around the back hill there's plenty of open space with nice grass and good curves.

You could head to the wreckers on northern road to get the grafitti wall

Have you tried to scope out Norwest? Possibly around that large lake thing? That's somewhere around here I've thought of heading out to as well.

Or if your stuck... Head to Homebush. Everyone has done it before, but that's because it's always good for a shoot. If I wash the car next week I might head down one evening myself! :blink: Great idea! haha

This is from the chain of storms that has killed a ton of people already and caused a ton of damage and injury. Took them when it passed through my area. Pretty scary shit, producing tornadoes. In the USA.

The thing you see dropping down right before the lightning on the left is a cloud that was in rotation. It was gusting probably 20-35 by this time and the camera had gotten a strange amount of noise. Needless to say, this was the LAST picture of the night before I MOVED.

Enjoy =)

Is that Tampa?

Ahh cool, "the Ark" looks cool! Made for a good backdrop.

Yeah, I'm not too familiar with the Penrith area because I don't venture out there much, but that will change soon because my sister is in the process of moving there.

I might go and scope out Norwest this afternoon, actually. The new hospital is up and running, I think, and from Old Windsor Road it looks like it's a fairly modern-looking building.

Oh, I went for a drive to Rouse Hill a few months ago because while I was leaving the shops there I thought I saw a little area that looked like it might be a park with a small parking lot. I thought I'd check it out to see if it'd be suitable for any photos, but it turns out it's just a turning/parking bay and nothing more... :) Might be an idea to the shops themselves one night really late to see if we can use the area for photos when no-one's around.

First one is my favourite. Focus seems a little off.. I'd suggest taking a small LED torch to help camera focus when shooting at night time

P.s. Those wheels rock!

    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
