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 :) Hahaha.

LOL, if it were the end of the year right now, and you were to win, you'd need a tow truck to move the LOLvo, as it's currently lying dead in the garage with absolutely no power going through from the battery to the bits required to actually run the engine. The battery is only a few months old, and works fine.

I can't turn the alarm/immobiliser off, so at least I know the car is reasonably safe in that regard, but in saying that it's a bit of a double-edged sword. Because I can't turn the ignition off, I can't close the driver's side window, so that much-needed wash is also being delayed. The car is filthy!!!

OK, chat thread and competition threads are go!

so, decided to start a 365 'photo each day' type project. seeing as i'll soon be back to work as a bike courier I will be on the move constantly and the aim of the project is to keep me looking at the world with fresh eyes. i should probably set up a blog type thing on my website for them to get put, but for now i'll stick with chucking them onto facebook. will be interesting to see how long this lasts, lol. anyway, here is day 1...

i cant for the life of me get hdr photos right. i've tried taking seperate photos at different exposures and also adjusting the exposure on a single photo on photoshop. all the time it either comes out like the highest exposure or the lower one, with little-no range.

are you shooting in RAW? When I first started doing HDR I tried adjusting exposures of single photos and could never get it right. I use Photomatix for HDR - it just takes time, practice and trial & error.

    • 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.
