Thanks guys. Was taken up at Mount Mee (you can click on them for more info).

Can't remember the specific walk or creeks name (I might have to try google it).

No Sam - might have a CPL on but that's about it.

(second shot is three exposures fused together though)

HI Beenar, I've just got a D90 with the 18-55 kit lens. Although when I took most of those historic race pics I 'borrowed' some long lens from work. Will confirm what it is tomorrow.

Yeah thought you were using something long, no way you are going to get that kind of DOF and Bokeh with the kit lense.

I almost bought a D90 but decided the Canon 40D was more suited to what I wanted, was a very tough choice though. I really must get my camera out and take some more shots.

The first pic I cut the car on to a new layer, played with the colour values and sharpness. I then desaturated the background, added some blur and darkness to it to help the car stand out.

The 2nd pic, On the car I played with saturation, brightness and contrast, over sharpened it to emphasis the car's lines and and reflections. I then added a slight blur to forground and desaturated the enviroment a bit. The blur in that pic is just from panning with it as it drove in front of me. I used a slightly longer shutter than you'd usually use and just the panning right on (Through luck and multiple pictures, not skill haha )

Hope this helps :blush:

Cheers for that, they both have a bit of an unusual look to them, especialy the second one which to me looks more like a drawing then a photo, looks very cool, I like it

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
