Just thinking about gender!...

To have a "lady" at the wheel of a Nissan Skyline as well as present well, is a wonderful idea Vu

It helps the other half of the population think, "Hey, Skylines are cool to drive!!!" :thumbsup:

Just want to avoid the dodgy sound track and the weird special effects

Soundtrack issue has been sorted for the next episode :yes:

You dont get a feel for a car cruise when its shown through sepia tones and never EVER speed up the driving scenes

The carpark was pitch black so I had to use night vision... but I got myself a fancy schmancy 150 LED light thing so we'll see how it goes next time I come up to a pitch black car park! Note taken on the driving scene too.

Will look forward to it mate . At the moment its very promising . I agree that it must be very tough filming in pitch black but that sort of location must be thought about ie . if you dont have the light then wait til you do . That way you give the best possible presentation . In a way you are selling a product , presentation is everything . In reality it shouldnt be that hard to present a show about cars , just avoid trying too hard and avoid lame jokes . Choose a character with charisma and personality and the show will appeal to many

Good luck :-)

My critique on episode 2 would be that there was no commentary, or aural information being delivered in the latter half of the video. Even just some basic stats and info pulled off the net for those certain events would be bangin!

I work in Film and TV, and if you guys ever head up to Brisbane (even Sydney or Melbourne) and want some lighting or gripping hookups for a shoot, I'd be glad to come on board; It's rather boring working on the odd freeby job for film students when it's not relevant to my interests :P lol

Keep pumping it out guys, it's fun to watch! And it's great to see you're having fun with it too! :thumbsup:

Our latest episode!

We went on a holiday weekend away over in Melbourne and thought we'd do some automotive-related stuff :D

We were going to do more for the cruise episode - talking with people at the cruise destination etc. but we had to bail halfway there as we didn't expect the destination to be so far and would make us miss our flight - we originally planned on flying back to Adelaide the next day but our flight was cancelled so we had to book elsewhere and the cheapest flight was a day earlier than what we originally planned! Bloody Tiger Airlines hey!

you guys make videos.....LIKE A BAWS!!!!!

seriously other than the sound issues (music is vastly improved since first ep, just the difference in levels between music and speech needs adjusting) its hard to tell you guys are amateur film makers. I have dabbled myself and filmed literally thousands of hours of track days, cruises and other events but never had the guts or wherewithal to actually interview anyone let alone put something of this quality together.

Well done guys for shrugging off the CBF mentality of todays youth and just getting out there and frikkin doing it!

def have mine and im sure a dozen others full support if you ever make the trip to Sydney to shoot one of these sorely needed vids (now theres no money in it, massive dearth of decent car related vids), i will provide whatever i can with my skyline, sandwich making abilities and the three or four cameras i have :P

till then will keep watching and loving your work, keep it up!

:cheers:

Would have been good if you got more time too shoot.... Imo there need to be some technical information. It doesnt have to be doused in it, but just some simple specs on the cars your looking at. Oh yeah and the eps need to be a bit bigger their like teasers atm.

i rekon there needed to be a bit a closure at the end, as in "we didnt have time to make the rest of the cruise" instead of saying were cruising up to arthurs seat, and then ending it after 30secs. i feel like im waiting for part 2, like a teaser as Silvia GTR^^^ said

The latest episode...

Episode 4: Team Custom Imports popped by the Skylines Australia SA's Dyno Day #3 at Willall Racing to check out some of the cars there. We also drop round to drifter Chris Johnson to see what he has been up to.

Let me know what yous reckon... I think I've sorted out the voice level issue! Now need to muffle out external sounds somehow and try and just get the voice - ideas? better external mic, cotton wool over the mic or?

great work guys. really love the effort you are putting in.

constructive criticism. im probably in the minority of people who dont like electronic music, but at some points i find it really over powering, like id just rather hear the cars, or ambient noise, not being blasted by techno. buts thats more of a personal thing. and also, as stated before by eps, maybe do a few more takes. i noticed right from the get go in the intro the host miss pronounced a few oblivious words at 0.15

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
