I went to shoot for Kory last night as he and some buddies entered into the Twilight Drift night at Eastern Creek. It was a good nice, a little slow to start with but once the night got started everything ran smoothly. Running three seperate tracks at the same time would have been some effort. good work. I'll post up some more over the next week or so depending on time.

Hey there fellas. You know that stills really aren't my thing but on holiday you have to take a few snaps. Here are a few from Khao Lak Thailand.

I should have set the ISO on the dusk pics cause they got a bit grainy. Other tips always welcome.

Makes me want to go on holidays after seeing those pics.

Matt and Kory - Hectic pics there :)

Not sure if I like the blurring of the background but the floor was filthy.

Such a cute dog, Matt! I've been wanting to get a puppy, but my land son of rajab won't let me :( (I rent a house off my parents, so too expensive to find somewhere else. Lol)

Awesome drifting shots too guys. The sharpness with the lack of light is amazing!

Man, I had such a crap month for photos over April. Everytime I'd try and line up a shoot, either something else would come up at the last minute, or it would rain when I'd hoped to be shooting outside. :(. Any photos I did take were just flat and uninspired. Couldn't even look at them long enough to consider how to edit them.

Here's hoping this month is MUCH better. It's getting colder, but the rain usually eases over winter.

My shots were I was out on the balcony and I'm like, ooh, pretty, go get camera... more than anything else

Living in Liverpool now gives me even less time for stuff :/ Being grown up sucks heh. Also not much that's inspiring out this way.

Dude, you're roughly 20-30mins away from either me or Matt (in different directions, though), so all you have to do is let one (or a few) of us know when you wanna go out for a shoot, and we'll tee something up.

Sweet chop man! As a matter of fact i was working on a chop like this 3 days ago and i never finished it hahahaha. Won't finish it though now you've posted this, will chop another photo.

Looks much better with a different background.

Havn't had a chance to get out lately. Did manage to get this though.

I reckon this would look much better if the wheels were turned the opposite way. Definitely a cool photo with cool location!

Eric - sweet pics! I know which were taken with the iPhone :P

the background turns from a good shot into a great shot. i was going to get all sunset and flare on it but thought i'd keep it simple and clean to bring the cars out. cheers homeboy.

a note for HDR kings on cars... be mindful that your hdr will more than likely bring out all the reflections in the paint. something to think about.

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
