Ah cool - I'd love to work in a place that has something to do with cars

For the love of GOD dont become a mechanic! I love my job, but fark it fustrates me! Lol. Great balloon shots, btw.

Mat, thats the best use for a Falcon I've ever seen :ermm:

Thats prety cool, would love to see what the second one would look like in hdr form....

Hmmm.. I could try but its only a single exposure so don't think I'll be able to get too much detail out of the foreground hey

Haha no I wont! Hate working on my two cars as it is.

ps cheers :D

^ excellent bike shots. Love the 2nd last one. Natural lighting or flash used? looks like flash in the last two, but could be wrong.

I only borrowed it for the day. So much fun tho!! Its a great lens.

I was looking at fish eye lenses on eBay, and found a whole heap of add-on lenses for less then $50. What are your thoughts on these, guys? They attach to the end of your existing lenses. Cheaper then $600 for a new lense, but dont want anything dodgy.

Go easy on me, I'm still learning the basics of my DSLR.

Taken with Nikon D60 on our recent trip to Port Douglas and the Daintree. What I really learned was to take good shots I had to use the manual focus because all of the tree branches and stuff caused the autofocus to fritz.

Here are a couple of ones that I thought were ok for an amateur. Croc was "Scar Face" on Daintree River Croc Cruises, Lizard was on a full day 4 WD tour (called Boyd's Dragon) and Golden Orb was freakishly huge - as big as my hand.

IMO they are a waste of money, and have limitations/distortions/vignetting caused by the imbalance between the lens and the add on.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
