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.

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
