woah Sidd, nice moody one! like!

you should turn that into one of those 360 planet pics man. it would look awesome. all water, then just an island popping off the top! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u should use some of your pc/interweb skillz for some extra cash on the side man. good luck with getting this job though!

only problem is the lack of water under the rocks i was standing on to take the pic. might give it a try, but for it to work properly i reckon i'd need to be on a boat a few meters out?

also never tried a 'little planet' shot with a pano and not sure that it will work on that kind of format. guess i'll find out tho.

as for computing work... if i had time to do the night job as well as some side work and still have time to spend with the family and kids it would be a possibility, but im not sure how well it would work out in reality. im still trying to get used to the idea that i have to sleep through the day and not sure if i will even get to see the kids due to my start/finish times. but thats the challenge of modern life tho, lol.

didnt quite work out. i reckon the horizon is too wonky as it doesnt meet up after applying polar coordinates (was a fair way off) and i dont have the skills to shop it into shape, lol.

Jay - Thats awesome dude. Now take the next step further and get a hot ballon with gps system and send it off to the outer atomsphere. I remember a guy on the potn forums doing it. Looked incredible. Offcourse a bit of planning and spending a little bit on gear. But awesome idea. How did you trigger the gopro? Or is there a setting to take a pic at a set interval?

There was a jdmst eomm yesterday? damn.. didnt even see it. That bmw looks nice :)

yeah just had it on picture every 2 seconds. the cam was heaps unstable and swung around quite a bit, but with the law of averages and all out of 400 odd shots there were a handfull that actually worked out, lol.

as for hot air balloon, gps and all... way too expensive. broke the bank buying a spare SD card at only $8 to take the kite pics, haha. would be fun, but yeah i have to work with what i have. gonna try and get this set up a bit more stable. learnt a few things while watching it in action and have a couple of ideas to try to get a better 'keeper' rate than the current methods. oh and some crazier locations in future. like, off the side of cliffs, ends of jetties etc. if you have any ideas of cool places to take kite pics im all ears :D

Apart from the sky in the beamer shot, they're all great shots nick. Improving you are. Strong with Tue force you are.

Nice idea j. Love the curvature

Thanks man! Ah crap, I just noticed how pixelated the sky looks in that shot... :( Let's pretend I'm being surrealistic, mmmkay?

Yep, and was very close to home for me, so I went along. It was MASSIVELY packed, so many cars! The original meeting spot fell through, and it was a bigger venue too.

And yeah,the car is nice - he's only had it about a week and it needs a few bits and pieces fixed and/or cleaned up, and he wants to change the wheels. He's also got an E30 Alpina that he's owned for about 15yrs that's been off the road for at least half of that - I've been bugging him to get it going again to take it out for a drive and a photo shoot.

in regrads to ideas for locations, how about just off the top of a water fall?

reackon it would look pretty good....

will have to see what is around. things i forgot you have to take into consideration are both the position of the sun and also the direction of the wind. makes planning shots a bit more of a challenge

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
