Well you certainly created it. Welcome aboard. Your official now ;))

Did a group rig shoot last night. Will try to get a couple up before the weekend finishes.

Massive thanks to Kory and Nick for their help. Very appreciated.

Practiced some light painting on friday night. Was alright for my first try until someone pointed out the shadow in front of the car....... Rookie mistake :) haha

anyway:

They help you to go down the "T2" lanes without getting caught.

no such things in adelaide. we prefer to just have everyone driving like retards on over congested roads not fit to handle the traffic volumes they experience on a daily basis

FINALLY remembered to take the camera out today. Had plenty of fun, but I never get action photos of my own car :(

To get these shots...

I was the first to go through that, looks MUCH bigger when I was going through it! Scarier too, with mud pouring in through a large rust hole I have in the floor. Not to mension my fear of the motor swallowing water due to my lack of a snorkel :( But mostly it was because I drowned it yesterday and had to rip all the interior out, so only had a drivers seat in it. I'm going to stay away from mud and water for a while now... :P

Just got back from a long day shooting a wedding and half way through the shoot my 5dm2 dies when the couple were about to walk into the venue. At first I thought my camera wasnt focusing but after a few tries I looked down at the lcd screen reading ERR!! Nothing else to that message.

Im like oh shit.. So removed both my batteries put back in.. nothing.. same error.. took cf card out.. same error.. so at this stage im about to shit my pants.. Lucky I had my 7d as backup but had to grab it from the bag. So lost a few shots of the couple walking in..

But atleast my 2nd shooter got it thank god.

In the break I took just one battery out of the grip and tested the camera and it worked :) I was so happy. So looks like one of the battery has shat it self.

Both batteries are genuine and charged before the event this morning.

Will do more testing tomorrow.. off to bed now...

But if you going to a paid gig (no matter how small or big), always have backup gear. If you don't your just silly.

Thats all I wanted to say.

good advice. hopefully it's all fixed up for you!

a couple more from the group shoot last friday night,

The first one with the guy in the car looks SICKKK :D

Would love to have a pic of me in my car like that lol

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
