Thanks Sidd

i had a go at this last night and my results were.... well, absolutely terrible!

Haha yeah I did two on the 1st - and both came out ok'ish (will post the another one up as well).

Then went camping up the beach and did 3 up there and none of them would even stitch correctly

Yeah added a quick description here under the photo:

but pretty much you need a 360x180 pano

where you try and keep the camera in the same spot

(this might be a lot depending on how wide your widest lens is)

then you stitch them into a pano - can use hugin for this but i used my normal pano software

then you stitch it into a little planet using hugin

(its harder than what it sounds lol)

love that last one, so cool!... gotta give that a try I don't have a tripod or a wide lense

I made this pano by lining the camera up on the horizon and just shooting about 10 shots handheld... then an hour in photoshop and I have something that could have been done in 5 minutes with the proper gear lol

my light box.... light wand, light wang, whatever you want to call it... maybe a led brush?

damn phone never uploads a full pic to picasa.

Nice Matt! Might need longer exposures as it doesn't look like its that bright. I'm going to try with a LED Torch that you use when you work on your car at night. Otherwise going to try the hard way with a 64" Octabox and a strobe inside with the power pack on my shoulder. Shall be a tremendous effort lol.

It's variable power. But when its bright its no dimmer than f**k off bright. the camera auto exposed and the light is fairly directional. It's perfect for I need. Brighter than torch and no hot spots. Might try some later before beer o clock.

Ok Managed to test the light rig out (And get a no standing ticket :'( )

Here's a couple test shots. first is the gratutitous evo shot. THis is straight outtta cam. No editting.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
