Rad bike. Similar to mine. Used to race BMX for like 11ty years and riding a bike with different geometry just feels gay. I'll post a pic of mine tomorrow if i remember.

Anyhoo... here's a shot from texi waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back. Someone here might recognise the car... this was taken before Me and Kory had 5 minutes with it in a carpark... all alone.

Love that shot, not sure why. Wish the DOF wasnt so shallow though, would be have been nice to get the mirror in focus.

Its my desktop picture atm. Everytime I see it I just stare at it for a while before doing anything :whistling:

I like that shot too, it works well (even though I'm not as much of a fan of R33s as I am of the other chassis).

With the DoF, you'll obviously have to shoot with a smaller aperture to get the mirror in focus too, maybe between around f/5.6 and f/8? That should still leave the car in the background with a nice bokeh effect.

The areas covered around the headlight/parker and the blinker and spotty are super-sharp, which is nice!

ooh nice - i got my first 29er the other day - loving it!! :(

ive been keen to try a 29r. thing that im worried about is tyre selection. well that and the fact i cant afford one anyway, haha.

mines just a regular 26" with 26x2.5 tyres. probably a bit too fat, but they were free and so nice skids so i'll run them till they wear out which by the look of them will be a long time, haha.

couple of pics from today...

Finally got a decent panning shot of a messenger with this Lumix. Kinda hard as im used to AF-C that focuses as you pan, so I had to guess where he would be riding and pre-focus there and hope for the best, lol.

great way to finish of a hard days work

Nick, I was using f1.8 cos I love the effect of the 50mm. I'll try lifting it up a bit and seeing how it goes.

LOL, I don't blame you - the bokeh with this lens wide open is great! I can't believe it costs less than $130. :):D

Agreed. i got my nifty fifty from ebay for $140 a while ago. Perfect for people and detail shots. so sharp and clean. DOF is mad. I was playing aruond with it last night in Nicks car as we were driving along. I'll post one up tonight.

For cars a 35mm 1.8 would be better, but the 50 is ok. just need to get back a distance if you're trying to get it all in frame.

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
