Nice! About time I had a fellow Stagea driver in this section. Welcome to the forums, and welcome to Stagea ownership. :D

Thanks :)

alan_key - Do you live on the beaches? And have you been looking at The-Lowdown lately ;) Turned out good! Maybe use another flash on camera right for some more fill and to kill the shadows?

Yeh i live on the beaches. and haven't heard of that site till now, seems like they've been using that spot too ha. Nice rig shots, wish i had a decent rig

During my lunch break yesterday, I snuck down to the creek to find out what was making all the noise.

Oh yeah... found out that some of my V8 shots from clipsal will be used in the Bisley Workwear catalogue coming out soon too :)

I live on the Beaches too Alan. If you see a white evo 8 MR driving around give me a toot! :)

Will do!

MaTBoy nice shots, just wondering do you use a monopod or tripod when you're panning? last time I just did it handheld with IS and was getting pretty inconsistent results, either i just need practice or im doing it wrong ha

I never use a monopod unless i'm holding a 400 2.8 or 500.

Turn the IS off and practice your technique more. Panning is all about technique. Unless you were shooting stupid shutter speeds below 1/15th. I'd recommend starting at 1/100th, get consistent results, then drop down to 1/80th etc...

I usually pan at around 1/40th-1/60th depending on if i'm getting paid or not lol.

Hey Fellas, had a good play with the camera last night. Some serious effort and some just goofing around.

Hey Matt, Kory & Nick these are taken at the netball courts just behind my house. It backs onto the bush which makes it a great locale for the dark bush sihouettes. We should set up a meet there and see what you fellas think of the location.

(I call that second to last photo - "my rocket ship")

oh yeah, was going to add that I bought a ball cap from bunnings that has 3 l.e.d.'s in the brim. one directly straight ahead and two pointed down from the brim at about 30 degrees. It worked a treat for this kind of work. Was funny cause I kept feeling like the Blair Witch project with the light pointing any direction I looked.

Was well worth the $20. For you noctural photography buffs would highly recommend.

patience, my young padawan apprentice. In time the power of the dark side will reveal itself to you.

Location looks quite good. worth a future investigation. Good to see you're out there playing around :)

here's a couple from twilight on friday night.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
