yeah, I was spewing at first (like almost a breakdown, lol) but once I got used to the idea i realised it was in the best interests of the family and thats more important than my personl desires.

and nah, no more drift for me. im not even going to try using the p&s for drift as i know it will be unsatisfying. theres plenty of others out there doing it, just wish they would actually get stuff published to justify the 'media' they all use in their names. :down:

and cheers man, its actually really cool to finally be able to mix my love of graff with my love of photography in a creative way, as opposed to just taking pics of graff (although i still love that, the feeling you get when you see a new burner is hard to describe, lol)

You has a family?!?! I thought you were another young gun a.k.a. 19years/20 years old hahaha. Guess i was wrong.

If i sold all my stuff at least i would have a lot of cash about but i think i'd cry myself to sleep for a week at least haha.

Well the media vests are understandable as long as they take good pics etc... but the guys out there with rubbo gear that just got there because of there mates help, i can't justify it... A good example of this was Superlap this year, but meh, what can you do?

Keep posting up your pics, even if they are with a P&S!

yeah man, im an old man :down: 34 with 2 kids (4yo boy and 3yo girl) so yeah, they come first.

will keep posting pics up, gotta so many ideas i want to try and having a visual record of my progression would be nice.

Those light painting graffiti shots are awesome!! Fantastic work, Jay. Shame about selling the camera, I'd be devastated ;) I've spent more on my camera than I have on my car! Excluding purchasing the car, obviously.

Group buy on media vests, perhaps?

thanks for the feedback guys :)

yeah selling the camera did suck a bit, but knowing you made the responsible choice for your family makes up for it.

and i know this wasnt taken in october, (sorry its only a few days off ;)) but heres a photo of my R31 taken with the Lumix. pretty decent for a p&s, just wish i could chuck a CPL on it to reduce reflections

Viva la dirty one!!!!! I have a massive soft spot for 31s. My first line wad a beige and brown 31 I called the Tim tam til I smashed it and reincarnated her ad the red devil.

Owen the wiring is right. The leds - go back to the inverter. It's a separate circuit to the input voltage.

Maybe its best to just get a kit from jaycar or find a simpler plan.

I took this afternoon just around the corner from where the house is getting built. the Sun and Clouds were battling it out with full fury. Glad I stopped to grabbed this.

Dude, you should DEFINITELY print that!

Should totes print that shot. Best landscape work you've ever done, keep it up!

Well, i tried out some light painting last night. Ghetto ties to hold my light inside my 47" Octabox, damn the octa makes the light so soft and buttery.

I went way overboard editing this but the point of it was to just bump the contrast and see how the light was hitting my car.

Location was where i park it at home and it was 1230am so i didn't go anywhere.

I'm pretty happy with a 10minute effort! Would like to go to a proper location when i get time and not have to edit the cr@p out of it to get rid of the colour cast from lamps and sh!tty background.

Anyway, let me know what you think (BTW - On my calibrated monitors i can see all the fine details perfectly, but looking at it on my work monitor i can barely see my wheels....).

Thats awesome man, very soft indeed! Awesome potential with that set up.

The only real hot spot is across the rear guard to rear door, try to keep the same distance from the car, and dont look at how you see the light, but imagine how the light would look from your lens (If that makes sense)

Yeah, I'll print it out and have a look at it on paper, i like it, I think i like it more cos it shows how nice it is where i'll be living soon ;0

Nick, I looked on my home pc and i can only find 4. I'll be getting 5 today though, so you should be able to stop in at work and get it tomorrow if you're not to busy

Yeah super soft light! In regards to that hotspot, i could of burned it down a bit, but decided i would try and get a highlight kind of in there. Although there is nothing to highlight on my car :(

I'm pretty sure in regards to that part, there was a bigass tree there and i had to reduce my distance about 1metre and stand there for about 5secs trying to navigate around the camera and not go into the tree, but keen to see what happens on a proper location with room.

Dooooooo it.

If you need CS5 for MAC or windows, let me know if your still struggling to get a copy.

w00t! Looks nice Owen. Now i see why the 580EXII is so exxy to buy. Comes with metal hotshoe and weathersealed also.

For as cheap as this flash was i might pick one up. Although if it's better than my 580, i'll dis-own Canon :(

Take some snaps, you should buy a wireless trigger kit, so you can shoot with the flash off camera. lots of fun!

Thinking about it :) Gotta let my bank account recover from this month first (oops). The manual is in Japanese (I think) so I'm having a fun time working out what the hell I'm meant to do with it :)

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
