I went to Wakefield on Saturday for the NSWSSC Round #5.

Was a great Day had by all! Some super fast lap times by all competitors, especially two 35GTR's! I believe they are members here also.

I hope you enjoy the pics :D

I need to turn you upside down and shake out all your wisdom!

I think the 3rd pic is my fav. But it's a hard call.

Any chance I can get a larger copy of that panda MNR? Number 9. I work with the person who built that and did the wiring loom in it :domokun:

haha please don't I'll get dizzy :)

if your heading to the SAU trackday in July feel free to question me there but not upside down!

Thanks for the compliments again!

Yeah sure, for an SAU member what the heck :). As long as it's not used for commercial work, no probs.

PM me or email me what size your after/print size you want and I'll resize them for you.

Do I get a free home loan for it :thumbsup:

PM'ed!

I should be at the track day, probably not driving though. cash be tight. So I'll wear my best shaking gloves :thumbsup:

Maybe not a free one but there's some cash back from commission for car members and sau.

Reeeeplied.

Oooo alright. Get your panning gloves on too :thumbsup: Feel free to come and bash info out of me all day. :thumbsup:

Hahaha i was just jesting. I'm no where near financially stable enough yet to get a home loan. Oh, and i'm too young(22) to think about that just yet, few more years!

Thanks for the comments guys :cool:

Sorry Rocklee it seems my iphone skipped over your post. I used a 70-200 2.8IS for these photos.

Cheers!

Matboy, i sent you what you requested at 3000x2000 which should be sufficient for poster size prints. Let me know if its not :sweat:

Yeah its a great lens! Might be a bit heavy for some people but i find it fine!

You looking at the mark I 2.8IS or the mark II 2.8IS?

the F/4 is the sharpest version of them all if your after pure sharpness and don't need the extra stop.

Although the mkII 2.8IS is super sharp also, comparisons reveal similar results were previous results, the 2.8 was soft wide open.

Absolutely, its funny I can get some great feedbacks on camera gear on a motoring forum! lol

I'm a landscape shooter which was why I was looking at F4. My uncle has the 2.8 mk1 IS version and he barely uses it (might sell it to me for cheap ;-) )

I hear that the 2.8 mkII isn't a significant improvement over the older one, I think most people should be happy with either.

Yeah lol.. Because most motorsport photographers use a WA, Mid zoom or prime (24-70 or 50mm) and a 70-200 + then a bigger lens like 300,400,500,600 lol.

Yeah good choice then if your a landscape photographer, mostly shooting off a tripod, you won't need IS then but its good to have for those portrait shots/typical shots.

Well, i think its a big improvement from what i've seen. They've given it another stop of IS, Apparently got rid of the focusing issues which can't be calibrated through microadjustment (spot on focus at 70, but not at 200), its sharper, not soft wide open anymore and more controlled CA.

But for an extra $1200? No thanks lol. I'll wait until the price drops!

Soon 70-200 2.8IS's will be selling second hand for $1600'ish i think!

  • 3 weeks later...

Thanks mate!

You do?! Wow, you must have money :D Saw you at superlap also. I got a few photos of you there in the 32GTR.

P.S. Your car will be in Hot4s next issue (196) from the SAU shoot AGES ago to palm beach. Just a reminder!

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
