Terry, thanks! I think that's a real great compliment!

Nice Bayside Blue R34 you have there! Closest i ever seen was my 1/18 scaled model that I had that I sold off before flying to Perth.

NA_Goodness, I'm using my 17 - 50mm Tamron and 50mm f1.8 canon for most photos, with a 28-105mm in my bag , hardly use it to be honest.

Sticking to my 50D till I can afford a 5D Mk2

How do you find the Tamron lens? I love my Canon 50mm 1.8, and have a Canon 17-85 and 70-200mm f4 L as well.

It's pretty decent. Most of my photos' taken with it so you'll be the judge.

It wouldn't be as clear as a L lens, i was considering this or the Canon 17-40 L lens.

How much does a 70 - 200mm F4 L cost in Perth?

A 2nd hand piece costs around AU$620 in Singapore

Hi mates

Looking for a Bayside Blue or White R34 GTR to shoot. If anyone knows of an NSX , i would be real happy as it's the one of the last Hondas I've been looking to document through my camera (and a Prelude...)

Feel free to PM me to discuss.

I know someone with an old NSX but not the facelifted last model, and you can shoot my R34 if you want :)

Hi Stephen, I've received your PM , I'll send you my number shortly :)

A TVR? There are TVRs here? Bullet holes inclusive?

really nice pics pf two gens.you know there's potential calender material here.....

Sounds good! If it materialises, I don't mind contributing (including Mickey's when the time comes). Just save a copy for me :pirate:

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
