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!

    • Yep, I was supprised. Its all about flow rather then housing size.  Doing G35-900 Vs ATR45SS-1 Next. 62mm V 61mm. 
    • Of course sometimes you cannot go with the cheaper alternative but I try to weigh it up for the application - am I competing or am I going to the track ten times p/yr. As long as there’s enough information out there to back the cheaper alternative as a good option I’ll go for that.   I’m a bit of a bastard though as it’s my job to reduce costs, particularly on non income generating assets. EUR 500 saved for the diff + EUR 1,000 saved on BC racing over Bilstein and then say EUR 300 versus EUR 600 on an off brand windscreen versus OEM (for example) soon accumulates. I mean, I’m probably gonna put the car in the ditch anyway. Absolutely do not take this as a justification for always buying cheap shitty parts, just a rationale for doing your research and considering what’s necessary for your application.    
    • All the above effort, time, swapping out parts in the dark (i.e. no O2 data). You're literally running in the dark.
    • Looks like both of my cars have pressure switch issues. The R32 GTR has 18 flashes on the ATTESSA controller which is "ETS pressure switch circuit". The 4WD light is intermittent, and often just restarting the car clears it. There is an $300 replacement option https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/285675135148?itmmeta=01HXN3YKRGKQ08GRZ5KFKKZWJT&hash=item428390a0ac:g:6CcAAOSwWxBltMEG so if it becomes a permanent issue and I can confirm that the switch is the issue, i have a solution. The NM35 is reporting C1208, and disconnecting the switch causes the 4WD light to go away. Translating from the Japanese shop manual "when the pressure is reduced to 2.6MPa (377 psi) or less: conduction occurs when the pressure increases to 3.8MPa (550 psi) or less: conduction is present. Reference: • Immediately after the E-TS actuator motor stops, the pressure inside the accumulator is high and there is no continuity." Not sure how good the translation is but from what i can deduce this means the switch is normally closed (NC) and as the pressure builds from 0 to 550 psi the switch stays closed, then opens and 550 psi. As the pressure drops from 550 psi to 377 psi the switch stays open then closes again at 377 psi. Is that how these things work? These pressures are a lot higher than the R32 ("control pressure 0-228 psi") but i'm hoping i can find a generic switch (like they've done for the R32) to use as a replacement. Maybe something like https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355586397452?epid=1676016964&itmmeta=01HXN534AF22ACTG6TGDDQGEQ7&hash=item52ca99d50c:g:mAEAAOSw8ilmBcMh&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA8LtWdNlWHgyJ%2F3cbw25S2A1lde3qBi3fJii4T3lQavCz4kpqiD42SmBa4FocMvXCjcxiowHjb8vZ8%2BWxc53BkHv781tkStSnCDaenfGKC3bIp0keK20dfsn9LoPa3TfqaEmAydqqyKobgTdXsGGzsl%2BRjOVGuD8OIpOv%2B0wMl7aUtHg0iJtojbtzA%2BRS8Xfm8Ufjuvz4niwrqglAXFUbkL6J%2FGuHPeeECZhLBBN3iNM1Swl94Fv5zE95YK%2B5O6dxDN1ySNOjdMxkA8yaprbuwRHFQv1nlGh%2FWjekj6EUFR2%2FO4HTsoKtSAkY0Mj1w1uf1w%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6zFjKXtYw but with a lower close pressure, and thread adapter if required. Am i dreaming?
