Pft Sif. Actually you know why that is? Because your tur-boss isn't fast enough. You need NOS. And a steering wheel button.

Ahh is this the nerd shots you did with my AB's?

Hahahaa wow. Didn't think you meant this nerdy but hahaha.

Would be even more epic if you had a hair light to show his slick rick hair. 2 lights FTL :down: I want a 3rd!

sad thing is there was no diffuser on that light ;) just a car sunshade thing to stop the camera picking up the trails... For what I know I could have messed up with the white balance adjustment aswell or the metering... Im pretty keen to get out there and do it again... but take with me something to piss the orange light off with haha

cheers for the tip though :)

Might have to borrow my mates 14-2X mm lens :)

Also props to GTRSEAN for helping with the light painting :) I painted in the lights and he did the cars was a bit of fun and experimenting

Calendar of him, would be epic. Although not a sight to behold!

I think Matts point is, it doesn't matter what lens your using, it matters how you light.

I think the lens your talking about is the Nikon 14-24 2.8. Good lens.

White balance is a bit cool, but thats expected because your using a LED light. Metering is to no avail here because you can't meter accurately enough as you are not providing constant light (e.g. flashing or strobing) and it looks pitch black where you were so the meter will be wrong and it will tell you to go longer than 30secs.

Light painting is about experimenting and finding the settings correct for you. The Camera couldn't of helped you out in this case.

The more you do the better you will get at it.

You're right about that... but using the 18 - 55mm DX lens on an FX camera...

The next step I think will be to get a remote trigger release for the camera so I can do the bulb setting... Having that orange light there didnt help with painting the cars as it created its own ghosting of us and sloanes car being silver reflected light away from the camera as opposed to the white cars ;)

So got any tips on painting silver cars? aside from brighter light?

Yes that is kurrjong look out... some dude pulled up in a stock S15 with a chick in the car... (P plater too) I think we ruined their night for about 2 hours!

I got no idea between the differences of Noinkon, but if it's like Canon e.g. Using an EF-S lens on a full frame camera, it's still workable. You can only blame the lens on the sharpness of the photo not the light ;)

Silver is the easiest colour of cars to take photos of. Whether it be flashes/strobed/light painted.

Get a brighter light and don't park under orange street lights? :)

The lens is only really going to affect your zoom level champ. you're camera knows what it is and will switch which will just give you a crop factor, so your 35mm from a smaller format will look more like what you'd expect from a 50mm. the sharpness wouldn't change more than a bee's dick.

Silver is the easiest colour to light man, you don't need any tips from us, you just need to do that 3 hours of internet research to catch up :)

I did some painting on a black xr6 at lunch. will post some shots up over the weekend. Made a new lighting rig today and tried it out. Haven't viewed shots outside of cam lcd but it looks promosing ;)

not a good photo by any means, but...

Day 045: December 3, 2010

Every day I have a run from a lawyers office to the registry at the courts and back. They have a ticket system and ever since I started I have wanted MY ticket. Well today I finally got it. I'll admit, i had to take two tickets to get it, but meh, whatever. lol. I'm sticking this one in my folder as some kind of achievement. Yeah I know, this obsession with the number 19 is probably not healthy, but I really dont give a f**k, haha.

:)

I've alwanted wondered that Jay and first i assumed you were 19. But seeing your ugly mug on facebook you definitely aren't 19 and when you mentioned kids ages ago i was like hhmmm... Then i thought favourite number. Then i thought Tegan and Sara song Nineteen. Now i'm asking you.

Please graciously answer my longing question so i can get in on this "unhealthy" obsession with 19.

haha. ok, the story is...

i applied for a job as a bike courier and the first company that hired me gave me the number 19. i was 19 at the time also. so for the next few years all i ever responded to over the radio was the call to 019. wasnt long before that number became me and things just got out of hand, haha.

and to keep up the unhealthy obsession...

all taken this month (today actually) to stay legal in this thread :)

i should start a '019' album and see how many photos i can fill it with... or maybe i should just see a psych, haha.

oh, and for those who are interested... i turned 34 this year.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
