Ah broncolor. Yeah Jason Cole shoots with broncolor, seen him use one. I'd much rather pay $5K for an elinchrom Octabank which does the same thing. I think they are bigger (or around the same size). Broncolor is stupidly expensive. Great gear etc... but way over-priced. A cable just to plug a strobe into a battery pack is $400. Its only 2m!!!

Anyhow, i can only imagine how good the light is from one of these :D

I used the broncolor powerpacks and lights and puts my strobes to shame. But anyways for a amateur there is no need to be investing in that gear. If i ever setup a studio one day i will buy the elinchrom.. but im sure if you get big $$$$ for comerical stuff no doubt you will invest in some heafty gear.

Pretty sure from memory the studio had these:http://www.bron.ch/bc_pd_ps_en/detail.php?nr=15071

Broncolor is 10x the price of AB's. If i ever went pro as a studio shooter i still wouldn't invest in broncolor, i'd go with profoto. Broncolors just so "It has to be broncolor" or you can't use it. That's why i dont like them. I LOVE the light they output, but the price! The price!

I like that Avenger stand. To bad C stands with wheels and crank's are like $300-$400 +$200 shipping to aus!

I guess if you had the money then why not hahahah.. But even profoto is expensive. The para by them is 10k also!!

Anyways lets try and set up a studio first and be as famous as scott kelby or chase etc etc.. lol.. before we think of what to buy ahhaha

speaking of food shots here is a brochure I'm working on for a client... no money for a pro photographer so I borrowed a lense and shot it myself... we had to shoot at the front of the restaurant in fading afternoon light while the place was still full of customers but I reckon it turned out okay... my wife styled them (she's a photo/tv producer)

shots off the camera were quite 'cool' due to the natural light so I had to warm them in post... they're pretty muted colour wise too but that's the look we were going for

some great car shots in this thread too... makes me want to go and shoot my car... I'll have to wash it first tho lol

    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
