would have jumped at that job when I left Uni many moons ago, Penguin are a bit of an institution in the design community... but yeah publishing doesn't pay so well for GD...

I'm lucky in that I work for a studio that does a bit of everything... and my boss doesn't mind me taking on my own clients etc

this is true, some of the designers talk about their salaries n stuff while I'm sittin with them at lunch and it's wierd that they get paid crap money compared to other companies. good thing about web dev is that we got to tell HR how much we want to be paid :blink:

cheers. its getting harder each day though as ive shot so much of the city that finding new things to focus on is becoming a challenge.

Time to move to a bigger city, Jay?

yeah good abstract with lines and shapes jay. they're all interesting and well composed.

how did ur canon shot turn out nick? is it a winner? Is it Egg-cellent? :devil:

Agreed with Matt on this.

It turned out okay Matt, was harder to set up than I'd hoped and I didn't achieve quite exactly what I'd planned in my head, but I'm pretty happy with it. It was certainly a learning Eggsperience! :blink: I hope it's a winner - maybe 10% of all the shots submitted are actually well thought out, in my view. Most are pretty ordinary, with little or no imagination behind them.

Here's mine: http://www.canon.com.au/weekendtoday/entri...spx?imageID=498

barra... our kids would have wanted to keep it as a pet, lol.

tried using slower shutter speeds today. some worked ok(ish) other need a few refinements.

since the poor lumix broke (lens cover stopped opening and closing properly) ive been running the G11 as my regular sidekick point and shooter. i still use it on auto a lot, but have been using shutter/aperture priority a bit. the built in ND filter is awesome for slowing things down a bit further. hoping its fair quiet tomorrow so I can do more experimenting with it, get more of a feel for it.

going to give this another try and actually take a bit more care with the composition, lol.

i reckon in a few days i wont want to go back to using the Lumix. its kinda sad tho, I did love that little thing, haha.

nice shots jay.

thats awesome nick. better than someone just dropping an egg or something.

Agreed, nice shots Jay.

Thanks dude. Like I said, I wanted to show that I'd put some imagination into the composition.

That looks great, Matt - good shot of that car!

Barra - I would sh!t myself if i saw that. First thing i would do is turn the BBQ on and light that fcuker up. Snakes scare the fcuk out of me. Theres brown snakes around my area as its surrounded by bush that surrounds Manly Dam. A few dogs have died over the years being bitten by snakes on some of the tracks. If my dog got bitten i would go straight after the snake no hesitation and beat its head with my foot a million times over! Besides that, i'd run away like a 10yr old girl.

Jay - Love those slow shutter shots! Something about them i really like. I've always wanted to do one in Sydney's CBD at peak hour but have one person stand still and everyone walk around her waiting at the traffic lights.

Matt - Sweet shot! As Sidd said, the windscreen reflections are my only nag, but nothing major. Sweet job!

One from me.

haha... promise ya bud, if it was a Brown:

1) it would be dead. bagged and released that fella... carpet pythons are harmless to humans.

2) i woulda been taking pics with my zoom lens from the fence line, not the 35mm.

where was this man?

Burswood in Perth, they striped it and put it together there and started it up several times. It's part of the festival of speed we have going on here now where Mark Webber will go time attack style in the car at Barbagallo, both long and short track :happy:

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
