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.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
