Hmm, have you had a look at what the other entries are like, Owen?

I wanted something completely different to what others have done - mine's not quite exactly how I wanted it, but it's pretty close and it wasn't easy to execute in the way I'd envisioned it. Oh well, it's done and it's been entered. The Canon site says it may take one or two days to appear because it has to go through their mods to be checked.

Oh, I think the closing date is a bit ambiguous too, IIRC one section says it closes on the 26th, and another says the 28th. :D:):blink:

So i was reading some comments on the powerex batteries and everyone loves it and it lasts a long time etc etc etc.. But the interesting fact i read from a few people is that recycle time is not as quick as the eneeloops.. Which is what i need for wedding work.. So gonna stick with eneloops for now. hmmm

I see you've entered, John - nice entry too (assuming it is you)! :D

bit delayed in responding to your post Nick but yeah that was my entry, i think i took about 100 different shots from all different angles till i got that one. i was pretty happy with it but there were some pretty good entries in there too.

Over the break (xmas to nye) I'll mainly be at home, might spend some time down the beach. I'll try and take my camera everywhere with me, and I'm starting to save to get a new lens and get rid of all these other random ones. In the end I'd like to end up with a 50mm 1.4, and either the 24-70 2.8 or 24-105 f4. I know I'm 1.6x crop though so 70 might be enough... hmmmm.

I wanted to try long exposure shots of the starts, but didnt have my tripod and I need to hold down the shutter button in the BULB feature to keep the shutter open. Not sure how to keep it open permanently, any ideas?

I used PS, but didnt like it. Would also be interested to see what other programs I can use.

You'll need to get yourself a cable remote, Rhys. There are a few different ones depending on which camera you've got. I bought a Canon RS-60E3 for the 450D, and luckily for me it also works with my 60D. I also bought the RC-6 wireless one, but you can't use that with the BULB effect as far as I know...

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O

      Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though.

      215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.

      That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
