Did actually! But I did a different sort of trip - didn't get to stay nights unfortunately. But I did get to see a large number of places in a short space of time. The food I had in Lisbon was awesome, some seafood-stew type of dish which they're meant to be famous for. That arch / gate at the end of the main road is pretty amazing. Got some photos of it somewhere.

Backpacking would have been interesting, bet you would've got some good pics that way. Wished I could get more of a feel for each place, which you'd definitely get by doing what you did.

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

cheers. once you know the trick (pivot around the nodal point as much as you can) it gets a bit easier. not sure if it makes a huge difference or not, but ive been taking them in portrait instead of regular lanscape. gives more room to crop from. love your shot! where is that? thing i have found that makes beach shots hard is the waves. yours worked out awesome tho as there are no waves that just suddenly vanish. something else i find hard is working out framing for a huge pano.

Thoughts??

i think this needs to be quoted so its on this page too. awesome man, love it!

took the kite out again. really need to work out a low cost/tech answer to the stability issues. turned the camera around this time.

would love to take it over water, but i dont have a waterproof case for the gopro so not real keen on risking it. my flying is getting a bit better too, was practicing walking the kite around and dodging obstacles. wish i had a second gopro to film the flying of the kite. saw some awesome shots but had my hands full with the kite strings, lol.

I meant to post these in here (already put them up in the SAU Nats wrap up thread).

Is that SS8 Cohan R34 GT-R?

Man that car is extremely sexy. Never thought I would like Craft Square Mirrors but they look tasty.

cheers guys. might be a little while tho, cause a couple of the lights broke and i cant afford to replace them yet. start my new job on sunday night tho so hopefully i can work out a way to save a couple of bucks from that

i think the higher the fstop the more flaring you get from light points? not 100% on that tho

EDIT: did some research...

Oh, I meant that it was just still coming in waaaaayy too bright/overexposed. I should probably wait until the sun has gone down more from now on to see what I can do :) Nice to set up the camera on the tripod on the balcony... Mental note, don't point it at the hot neighbours ;)

    • 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.
