I was carrying some Duracell rechargeables on the weekend when Kory, Matt, Sidd and myself met up for a shoot, and they failed in my flashes, even though they'd previously been fully charged using a Powerex charger bought from here. I had to borrow Kory's Eneloops and use those (thanks again, by the way) - unfortunately I'd left my Eneloops at home... >_< Oh well, at least it worked out in the end.

The Eneloops are awesome, by comparison, so I'll be buying another 8 more of them soon so I always have them ready to go on hand even when carrying two flashes around like I had on the weekend.

Same link I posted, Rhys... Oh, and make sure you get a quality charger too, it'll extend your battery life.

Next day delivery if you order before midday too!

Thanks Nick! I should be asleep right now, but instead I'm buying batteries... Hahaha.

But WHY did you show me that website!! Looks like I'll be kissing my pay cheque good buy within hours of recieving it :) So many nice lights that I want/need/desire...

I got mine from Dick Smith also. Although i could of saved $1 or something buying online, i wanted them then and there.

How many batteries are you buying to kiss your paycheck goodbye?! You running your entire house off eneloop powah?

I wouldn't really say Eneloops are "cheapies".
oh no sorry I didn't mean to imply eneloops were cheapies. I meant Eneloop "or" cheapies... if you get what I mean.

I used to use Eneloops before I discovered Powerex's. The Eneloops are on par with the 2400mAh Powerex's, but the 2700mAh's are in a class of their own.

No worries Funkymonkey :) Didn't think you meant that :)

Does the 300mAh really make that much difference? I've used Sony batteries that were rated at 2700mAh and the eneloops still outperformed them.

I'll have to test out the Powerex's :D

Also - If anyone is keen for 3rd party batteries (Minus the 5D2 and 7D because of the intelligent battery thing) go to www.sterlingtek.com ! Super cheap batteries that outperform canon/Nikon batteries. The American guys swear by them and they are cheap too!

Sorry - Don't have any discount codes etc.. But its seriously cheap! For the price of one 3rd party battery here, you can get 2 from there that are more powerful and stronger. I had 5 of them when i had my 50D and now i have to buy genuine. Although apparently the e-bay "Decoded" LP-E6 batteries are quite good, but the canon still holds charge the longest.

Nah Rhys runs his house on eneloops don't you :laugh:

I live alone now, so my house is lit by torches, its cheaper ;)

Dammit, wish I hadnt rushed out and bought those batteries online now. My good mate is 2IC at Dick Smiths, he would have got me a discount!! Bugger. Oh well, I know for next time.

    • 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.
