OMG, yummmmm!!! Where's the Chaser badge on the front though, Sidd?

Eric, I still haven't looked at the video I took on Sunday, but I'll give it to you Thursday if you're coming out.

That looks really col Jay! Only just noticed it now. Did you do the graffiti as well? I assume you did judging by your comments?

Owen - Maybe piss turns glow in the dark when its baked into the paint? Who knows.

Have you checked your oil lately? We may have drained the sump...accidently of course!

Or maybe we stuffed your girlfriend into the fuel tank... But that's a bit far-fetched.

She came up to my office this morning so I don't think so :( And uhh, checking oil... no. Only time I check that is when I flush it :)

Blah, I'll figure it out tonight... maybe. Brought my camera to work today with the idea of going and taking some shots in the Uni at lunch; pity it's a shithouse day.

Maybe we flushed it for you? :(

Tip: Use a black light.

Clutch - I think it looks good. Really moody. Maybe you can use a layer mask and brighten the flower up so the yellows pop a bit more?

I really should just write a layer mask/adjustment brush tutorial LOL. I've explained this at least 15-20 times haha.

But in summary.

Crank the levels up/curves so the yellows are brighter and poppier.

Down the bottom of the layer palette is a camera look icon. Click this.

Change colour palette to black and white (Shortcut key: D). X changes between primary colour & secondary.

"Paint" in what you want selectively. Or you can press CTRL + I (on PC) or Command I (On mac) and this will invert the mask so it will be your original image still and then you can just paint the flower (Easier for you as you only want to do a little bit of the image not the entire image).

In lightroom:

Go to the develop tab

At the top underneath the histogram, click the brush.

Make sure you choose exposure, paint the flower with the brush. I think its the same in lightroom as PS, to increase brush size is the ] key and the decrease is the [ key.

You can then slide the exposure around once you have found what you want.

You can then paint in extra contrast etc etc...

Hope this helps :(

Yeah, I had some left over paint in the shed so thought i'd have a go. Ran out of white tho as I only had two 1/4 full cans.

But found a few good pieces to light paint, just got to work out how im going to get there as the skyline is playing up. :'(

Which batteries you talking about? Your box of thieved batteries from work or the ones you took out? The ones you took out you put back in that bag with your 6million year old flashes.

I checked all my bags and i don't have any batteries. If you did lose them - Get eneloops!!!! You'll never be changing after them i tell ya! Recyle time will be SO much faster on your 6million year old flashes. If there not, i'll pay for the eneloops thats how good they are.

Jay - Ahhh ok. I got a question for you. Obviously graffiti isn't done in publicly lit streets (Well pieces like yours). Do you go out to these random places by yourself and do you ever sh!t yourself??? Some places look so dodgy!!! I'd be sh!tting myself!!!!!

I'll only buy you some Sidd if your energizer batteries are faster than eneloops :down:

You can buy them at dick smith or online. I think its about $30 for a 4 pack. Buy two packs of them and it'll be the best $60 you ever invested!!!!!

Oh and where was your battery pack for the wedding on the weekend, i forgot to have a look at it.

they look dodgy, but most times i've been there during the day and that makes them feel pretty safe for some weird reason. i consider the tunnels the safest as its not that likely that you'll run into anyone. i guess i dont really think about it much.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
