^ I like the first one for some reason. Eitherway nicely done.

Just practicing cleaning skin and trying not to make it look fake or using any filters etc.

Basically healing tool, little bit of dodge and burn. Haven't gone overboard with it. Kept it as natural as possible.

I don't do this often so im no pro.. but just practicing here.

Before:

After: hmmm now that im looking at it again found a few noticeable mistakes :(

Matt - I don't normally like the photos where you can see the bonnet. It feels so over used and tasteless. That said, I really like your first photo showing the engine :D

Sidd - I think those stretch marks on her shoulder blade could of been removed and the ear-ring piercing otherwise awesome job. I use photoshop around 5 hours a day for the past 8ish years so if you need some help with anything, give me a buzz man!

Did you up her eye colour intensity very minutely?

I've just gone and added a few extra things to your photo sidd - hope thats ok!

That looks so much better. How did you remove the stretch marks?

I want to learn without using any filters/actions etc that you can purchase.

Did you just use slight blur on the shoulder blades? To be honest I havnt touched the shoulders at all. I just did the face. But I will attempt it again tonight.

Thanks for offering your help man :)

There are 101 ways to do things in Photoshop. To do the shoulders, use a clone tool (pasting on another layer) then you can use lighting effects to blend it into the stretch marks.

I always need to try a few different methods before I find something that works well and I am happy with the outcome. It's rare to just know how to fix something straight away...

I made her eyes and lips stand out a bit more as they are key features of hers.

Fixing the piercing really makes her look more natural - It's a big blemish (Obviously if a piece of jewellery was there, it wouldn't be the same case)

love the clear bonnet shot matboy. and the blue/green highlights as mentioned by someone else also.

sooooo, went to take a proper 360x180 pano today. got the stand and home made head out the car, about to attach the camera to set up the nodal point and bam, forgot to bring the bolt, ffffuuuuuu.

shot this handheld so it wasnt a total waste of a trip.

I agree with Sidd - that is an AWESOME pano, mate. Seriously, it makes me even more distressed that you smashed up your G11 so you couldn't take more shots. :domokun: You've got the talent, USE IT, even if it's just for fun!

Oh, any news on the job front? Fingers are crossed for you.

cheers man.

just waiting on a call now about a job cleaning exhaust fans in hungry jacks / kfc stores.

also pretty stoked that its a job where i wont have to deal with many people. just need to work on balancing sleeping and spending time with the kids and missus

    • 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.
