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!

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!

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
