For some reason i immediately thought of dizzee's song from your "disko" title lol.

Good to see someone who doesn't use 180 degree angles! Necksnappers.

For a beginner mate, your definitely getting the hang of it! Can't really comment much on the carpark shots as they are carpark shots, but have you thought about using a flash moderately for those kind of meet ups? Looks like you left the camera on the ground as a tripod, good idea.

Some of your white balances need to be corrected in some shots, and your horizons need to be straightened up, but for a beginner mate, your definitely learning and off to a good start :)

Keep posting up in the monthly threads or here!

White balance.... Hmmm im not even sure what and how to correct that. Will have to ask a mate to show me what it is.

I didnt have a tripod so i had to use the ground but i just bought one so thats no longer a problem.

As for disko hehe thats my trucks name too hehe so i thought id use it here too.

Well thx for the tips and encouragement, ill look into that 'white balance' thing and try to improve.

Cheers, addz.

You can adjust white balance on the camera too. Adjust it for different conditions, different types of light. Can also mix it up for differing colours. Best to touch up in post as well.

By the way, great beginning shots mate! And like Kory said, make sure you contribute to the monthly threads :)

Bro, that's a sick shot of the Silvia, especially for a beginner.

I've recently begun my career in automotive photography, and I can say that your use of angles is nice. Canons are fast, and you should consider track-based photos. I also like your Supra shot :D

    • 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.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
