If you haven't figured it out, and the sun does stuff you can worry about it. I'm not worrying about shit, sonny.:whistling:

+11ty!!! We have given you advanced 2 weeks warning now. Although i am a qualified spray-canner.

I'm sure i could mix something up to make your car stand out from the rest of them. I'll fly Jay over from SA and he can do some graffiti on your car too. It will be cool.

Either way, are you going to come to this meet and learn some sh!t or what? Select individuals are coming for a photoshoot. If you wanna learn/find out what happened to your car, you should come.

P.S. Matt - Don't forget to PM Owen and Nick also. More importantly Nick as he has the SAU banner and is more important. <3 you Owen.

<3 you too maen.

Not sure if I'll be able to get there, as I'm apparently $25 in debt to my bank, and have already borrowed $200 this month from family (Payday is on the 28th). Shit. Wait, graffiti on car? Ok, so far the only thing I've noticed is on my window there seems to be some kind of "off" colouring above my passenger wiper; although I haven't checked it out fully. I've had a damn good look at all the lights, checked my indicators/lights/tail lights (just in case you'd swapped the bulbs in the numberplate light or something), and no dice there. Looking at an angle, there doesn't appear to be any finger-marks in the dirt on the car (lols), although I might not be looking well enough. I looked over it on Sat all around; had it out on my lawn in full sunlight and couldn't see shit. Honestly, I know you guys have said I'd overlook it, and I f**kin well have.

Nooooooooo idea.

And now for something different...

In other news I'll write up that PM soon, just playing with a couple light paints of my car.

I've given up on Owen working out whats wrong... but I'm still not planning on telling him any time soon. Actually. If he rocks up at this shoot, or the next one I'll tell him. Only when all 3 parties are present though. It's only fair.

nice work Matt! im loving the second one. seems to have the most even spread of light and not as many hotspots. awesome work dude. although, only thing i'd do different is add some more light to the ground. kinda looks like its floating in space, although that could just be my monitor being dark? love the one above it too. how did you do the white part tho? im trying to work it out, lol. and got a shot of that graff by itself? (cant help myself, love graffiti, haha)

Hey guys, haven't been shooting much lately, but I got a chance to test out the ISO on my 5DMkII on Saturday night at a local club.

All taken at ISO3200 and with a 135 f/2L @ f/2 except the first one ~ ISO3200 70-200 f/2.8L @ f/2.8

Nice shots Lepper! You can easily see why ISO3200 is so useable, especially at web size. You could of cranked it up to 6400 and it still would look clean (at web size) and reasonably clean at full res.

Post more pics!

The black shadow is my mates shadow. A pretty model for not a model. Easy to direct. The white shadow is me with some post work. I don't think I was dressed to suit what was going on so I thought how about shadow vs shadow. I think it looks pretty cool. Did some boxing ones too, might try one of those tonight.

Yeah the quality isn't bad at full rez on ISO3200 either hey,.. These were taken at manly fishos... Thanks for the comment man. :D

ah cool. thought it had to be done in post unless you got a perfect cut out of yourself, lol. nice work.

and wow Lepperfish, that 5d does perform well at high ISO's. although for live gig pics i like a bit of grit/grain.

Kids, I've got two ideas:

1. We start a mini chat thread in this section where we can discuss whatever, photography-related, so that the monthly photo threads don't get cluttered; and

2. We start a little friendly "competition" similar to the Canon Photo5 one, where we have similar (or the same) briefs and submit photos here based on that.

What say ye?

Lepperfish - Manly Fishos?! Thats 2 mins down the road from me, do you live around here? I live in Allambie Heights.

I like the plan Nick! Both of them would work. That way there would be a bit of chat in here, but not as much as this month lol.

Maybe a kind of "lounge" area to discuss everything and anything photography related.

And then get a monthly photo thread going. Winner gets SAU goodies like stickers or something and the yearly winner takes your stagea :P Hahaha.

Sounds good to me :P

You guys should enter the comps on ns.com I held. I finally got some prizes now for the winers!! Check it out.

Yo jay, i spotted a white r31 with a kit and rims etc and the plates where JAY ***.. reminded me of you!!

haha, how random! mine is currently kitless as the kit is getting molded. we are hopefully going to graft different fronts onto the sideskirts.

    • 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.
