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!

Thanks a lot for the feedback mate - noted... It was a bit rushed. The other thing was I had the ISO setting up around 640+ on my D70 and there tends to be a fair bit of noise added up towards the higher ISOs, which I hate.

Ah yeah - I've got a D80 so know what you mean!! Another tip - If you have a tripod (like the reflection shows!) just fix the ISO to 100 or 200 and just do a longer exposure to make up for it. Also try using the timer (I do it all the time) so you're not touching the camera at all when it starts the shot :happy:

Cheers Zennon. The tripod's pretty obvious hey :) I'll usually leave it on 100 by default but for some reason had jacked it up about a week earlier and didn't put it back. Haven't quite got it down as a routine yet to check it before starting a shoot. I do use a remote to set the shutter off though. I've also been looking at possibly buying a newer Nikon with a larger screen, cos even though the D70 does everything I need it to, I find the small LCD is a massive hindrance to checking for focus, noise, etc before going back to the laptop.

my remote shutter/hold switch I bought on ebay for $5 incl postage was probably the best accessory I got for my D90. No shake, easy to use on tripod, lets me set up the camera and then stand away from it while taking pics... which is great when you don't want to startle animals etc. Awesome for macro photos.

As for ISO - yeah I did that once! Took photo's for an hour before I realised I had ISO on 3200 from some testing last time!!

As for screen for seeing OOF areas.. yeah you're never going to be able to buy one big enough I'm afraid - only way is to zoom in on the little screen three (or maybe 4) times and then check ;)

Yeah I've got one of those - use it for night time shooting but during the day I still find myself using the timer instead

Irfanview is good and free

Just open the photo in that and press Ctrl+R (for the resize/resample image dialog)

Then type in how many pixels you want the image to be wide e.g. 800 (leaving other settings as default) and press Enter

Then Ctrl+S to save :)

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
