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!

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
