Well, I thought I'd share the results of my first experiment with actual rig shots. actually, it's my 2nd attempt, but the first attempt was with a $5 piece of junk that nearly cost my camera :P (FAIL)

I haven't made a boom yet. Hope to get this done during the week. Having a limited range of positions i thought I'd get creative to try to tap some angles not usually done by others. thoughts?

Great work! I really love the first and third shots.

Very creative indeed Matt! Very well done!

I really think you have just about every angle covered...

except from the passenger side, looking over towards the adjacent cop car in lane 2 :P

I'd be a little disappointing in your if you didn't want to do her :P If she's worth a photo or two chances are she's worth a vodka or two....

here's that ellusive missing pic!

not much done, just a colour overlay and slightly blurred, going with a different look. thanks for looking ;)

This is the sort of stuff you have to deal with sometimes at weddings.. Though I don't mind it but sometimes can be annoying and your white balance can go out the door.

If you don't focus on what's immediately surrounding the light it looks sort of like God is blessing the wedding...! :)

I like this one mate. The contrast in the colour between the beach and the surf is nice. Would look great blown up.

Thanks everyone ;) terry you crazy old man, you've given me a brilliant idea!! Will see if I can manage it.

Andy that pic godspeed picked is my favorite too. The colours and lines are in right spot. In 3rd.

Also gives u a foreground, focus and background. It's Rad.

I like that shot of yours too sidd. Without the light I reckon it would just be another photo. It's got something happening and the colours are great.

Dont judge me :(

I went out for a jog this morning and i noticed the fog, thought it looked pretty cool, did one circuit instead of two and got my camera out.

stupid pole ruining my shot :P and stupid me for not being steady enough to get better photos :P

Quick snaps of the boys warming up for flag grid iron, i'm more just laughing at their faces...

yeah nice! each morning this week we've had a nice blanket of fog and the sun has been burning through it. was planning on (trying) to get up early on sat and shoot a couple... we'll see how we go.

That sounds wicked!

My shots have the moon in them, dont know how to make the moon look any better *shrug*

Its kind of hard to get decent shots though, i cant keep still long enough for a good shot :P

And yeah Rhys, Blair and Phils game faces >.> bit dodgy hey!

Got this shot of the LOLvo today when I was trying these wheels.

IMG_2671-Splash.jpg

Unfortunately, the wheels do not fit - the offset is too agressive at +15mm on an 18x9" wheel. They stick out of the guards a good 1.5" front and rear...

...and I'm already running a fair bit of camber, which contributed to this:

IMG_2664.jpg

You say they don't fit, yet you show photos of near perfect fitment? This confuses me...

Tab, did you have a tripod? If not you could lean on something, water fountain or park bench. I've done that in Hillaries before, looked like a fkn tool, but it worked perfectly! Lol

    • 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.
