New month :)

Oct was damn impressive. Cant wait to see what everyone gets up to this month.

Guess I will start..

Beautifully decorated mandup:

Handheld three flashes lol. I should really invest in a tripod one day.

Ahhhh it's ARRIVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm VERY Interested in seeing your toy up close real soon!

Sidd I can't see it. :( Change host! Just for me! :P

Been a while since I've posted any evo shots. Went out on friday afternoon for a cruise and ended up taking these...

The car looked extremely comfortable out there off the tarmac :)

F'ing bril mate, I'm jealous of these locations of yours. :thumbsup: How long did you have to wait until the sun had set just-so?

Yep I hope we can get some nice snaps of the new car before too long. The rims on it aren't staying though; they're 20"s so I'm thinking maybe I'd like to get in on any upcoming photoshoots while it's still looking OTT, then scale it back to what I want, at which time another photoshoot would be good...

At the very least it'll be up at the Legends night.

Keep the GTR matt. You wil regret selling it!!!

Matt E - Awesome shots there. Wheres the location? Would love to do a model shoot there.

Speaking of model shoots.

Gear: 5dm2 with a Carl Zeiss 85mm full manual focus prime lens.

Lighting: One strobe bare bulb

Thanks Sidd; a GTR comes, a GTR goes... :) so I'm staying in the fold!

Matt, we showed the previous owner some examples of your work and he said he'd love some pics like that of (his ex-) car and would like to buy A3 / A2 prints too :thumbsup:

Location is out near richmond. Easy easy access. I'm pretty sure it's someones private property but I can't imagine they'd get upset if nothing sus was happening.

Cool cool, thanks Matty :) Putting the GTLM4's on the new toy? I don't have any group shoots planned before xmas, but might do something late jan/early feb. We could probably arrange something in the mean time if you get the mod bug and NEED to change stuff sooner than later though.

Nice sidd. How much of an improvement is the einstein?

nice start Sidd, but i have to ask... what is a mandup? i take it that it has something to do with weddings, lol. awesome shot, love your interior shots. lighting is always awesome.

went for a ride along my local bike track today and went a bit further then i had before and found this spot...

home made pano head failed tho so no 360 view yet again, lol. would love to try and get some kite shots here at some stage.

Hey Guys,

Few shots from Valencia - Spain - World Touring Cars

Enjoy!

Wow, awesome pics from everyone so far this month.

Jay, you have inspired me to do a pan shot. I'll be stitching one together tomorrow.

I thought I'd try out a Matt style photo...

post-50568-0-53712200-1320137543_thumb.jpg

Disappointed when I compare to your photos Matt :(

Lovely pano jay.

A mandup is a covered structure with pillars where a wedding ceremony will take place. There are many different styles/sizes etc out there. If you have money you can make some crazy ones which look like as if you were there back in the days of kings and queens.

Basically its mostly seen at indian weddings.

Nice shots josh - I love pic number 32.

Richie - ah thats pretty cool. Almost the tilt shift look but not.

Jay, I've found a new respect for your pan shots. They really are, much harder to complete than they appear.

Hand held pano:

Beautiful sky one night, so of course, took advantage.

40 shutter speed to get wavy hair... but worked out badly for the legs/splash

Like the second one Richie, I don't mind the waves being like that. Maybe a fill-in flash from left or right to brighten up the subject would have taken it up another level for me. Would have been hard from a practical standpoint though.

Hey Guys,

Few shots from Valencia - Spain - World Touring Cars

Enjoy!

Nice panning shots Josh, lucky you, being in Spain! Looks like you had a good vantage point with no fences or posts anywhere near the action. Wonder if you caught that race marshal looking at one of the pit girls when you snapped that last shot? :)

Wil, what were you trying to do with that shot thats like mine? THe short DOF??

My evil twin... wait, perhaps I'm the evil twin... Yep. that makes more sense. I'm the evil twin for sure :P

THose motorsport shots are awesome Josh. I added u on flickr. The HDR just there is brilliant too! I'm not a fan of HDR but I really like that shot! I think I need to visit spain ;)

100% visit spain matt. You will love it specially barcelona. One big crazy city!!!

Oh and be sure to visit montpellier which is near the border but in france. So many beautiful women. I walked out of the train station and my jaw just dropped. Never seen so many beautiful ladies in one spot lol.

Been to Spain (Cadiz, Barca, Granada, Seville) and I agree Sidd. Didn't get to stay long but those cities and the people were beautiful and had a real nice relaxed feel. The architecture was amazing, the Gaudi stuff was incredible.

Will have to dig out my old Europe photos from 2006, I think I got maybe 1 or 2 good ones from about 6,000... :turned:

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
