Nice shot Serg! Is that from Mill Point Rd? I tried a panorama of the city line, but it failed miserably :(

Cheers, was taken from South Perth Esplanade, off a small jetty there. 6 vertical shots stitched together, a bit over 90MP in the end

David, noticed you're in Wollongong too. I bought the 550D back in Sept or so, keen to catch up sometime to try and get tricky shots happening? Keep in mind Matt and Kory use hella good glass; I'm looking at spending the coin soon to get something good :)

Hey Owen, sounds like a good idea, just let me know when your free so we can catch up and you can show me how to use this thing properly. :D

Went down to Summernats yesterday. Twas good. A couple pics. Will be posting more over the week. I've got some gold shots!

Bonus before I head to bed (Back to work tomorrow... BOO!!!!!!!!!!!)

I call this one... 'le pop'. it's a metaphor for society and the energy crisis after a cursory observation of humanity... It could also be called 'He Did One'

we can't all be super sophisticated aristocrats. there's plenty of dickheads there, but it seems thats the case at any car event. they're just a different class of dickhead to what you're used to dealing with i think ;) some of the people there are alright though. The cars though... damn, there's some awesome machinery there. very impressive.

Owen you realize this is page 4? Noob.

Sweet shots Matt. I was going to head down until saturday night i went on a bender and i asked myself when stupidly drunk "Theres fcuking bogans in Canberra everywhere for Summernats.... Theres hot chicks everywhere here.... Where do i want to be?".

EDIT: Bangaz Boy - I really like that bird feather in the sand shot. If it was a bit brighter i'd love it more. Great compo!

40ppp

also: good choice; the ladies vs bogan douchebags isn't a hard choice

I don't understand... you see the same ladies all the time if they're where you live, and you're basically married now anyway ;)

You don't get to see that kind of machinery every day. It's worth the dickheads that lurk in the crowds. I didn't see one fight or anyone staunching up. I still wouldn't take a girl but it's definately a lot more toned down than a few years ago

See the same girls everytime!?!?! Are you kidding? What you been smoking man! I donno what you do on the town in the 'riff but i meet a lot of people every night lol. I dont have the same group of 5 mates and 5 chicks. I didn't spend all of highschool/after school meeting whole different groups for nothing lol. And married?!?! I'll burn your house down for that!

I agree that you don't get to see those kind of cars everyday and don't get me wrong would of loved to see it. I'm not into V8's or any of the muscle car type, but those cars are insane but its the crowd that brings it down for me.

Either way, i want more pics!

S15 rotory? Wow... Took me a while to get that! Lol. Kinda sad, I work for Mazda :/

That blower would make my 33 go pretty hard... :P

Nice pics Matt, how did you get those effects? (background in darkness). Was it post-processing? Or something you did with the camera?

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
