I like those holden wallpaper esp the 1st one you made.. One of the shots could be straightned up more and perhaps added more light?? What do you think?

Can you make me on of my car :( pretty please!! heheh

Basti - i like the moody feel of the shot, but would have liked to see more of the background for this style of pp. Havnt seen you post pictures in ages.. where you been hiding?

my first shot with my only umbrella setup... i've got 3 cactus receivers but only one flash :(

Dont worry sometimes all you need is just one light source!! Keep at it.

Would like to see the colour version of this. I reckon with the flash you could make that green grass vibrant.

Matt - Difference between a shoot-thru and a softbox is that the softbox is more directional and a larger light source therefore spreading more light and less light fall off.

The brolly would be the same as a softbox effectively at a further distance but using more power in your strobe/flash. The softbox is a lot softer as well depending on whether you use the inner diffuser as well as the outer and/or a grid too.

The light also isn't as harsh out of a softbox.

We can make a wallpaper one time soon sidd. no problems! I have a backup receiver for the flashes now so the lighting problem i had shoudln't be to much of an issue in the future i hope.

thanks for the explaination between boxes and brollies. i'm 100% new to lighting and haven't really had an opportunity to play with either enough to work out the properties of each. I'm thinking i might get a cheap brollie soon just so i can compare and learn whats good and bad about each.

Took this on the weekend, It's not a car, but i like the dark look about it.

No worries matt. It's pretty cheap to get a lightstand a brolly as well as a flash bracket from image melbourne. Pretty sure you can get kits as well now. Around $100 or cheaper.

Nice Barra! I'm guessing the flash was camera right as you can see how the light falls off. Good exposure too, maybe a touch brighter but great job!

Invest in a Dell IPS monitor and calibration software like Spyder 3 or Eye-One or Color Munki. All good devices and give you accurate colour day in day out.

I use a Dell IPS monitor as well as a second screen for browsing the web and spyder 3 software on both. Well worth it!

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out

      I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.

      I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?

      I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
