Matt - that r34 pic looks awesome. So what new stuff did you try??

Nelson - like that 2nd shot. Nicely done.

Very busy weekend.

Random teaser pic from yesterdays wedding - Location shots at night time: Don't always assume you will get 1-2 hours worth of sun light!!

Random pic by just closing my eyes and scrolling my wheel up and down....

All I need now is to purchase three more strobes, so I can easily blow out the background. Was just using 430exii and 580exii..

oh well always a next time.

she's hot. when we can milk her? :P Is that your roll out studio?

New stuff: Made a new 'Mattfrotto' light source to do the car with. Also I've been doing homework on colour theory.

Also, playing with grittier, darker images. I usually work hard to get everything clean/crisp/commercial. Need to break it up and mix it up a bit i think.

Nice, like the sound of that! I remember you posting a 'noisy' photo the other day. It was a sweet start :)

Fongy - Pretty sweet PP mate

Sidd - wholy crap, that is an awesome photo of the bride mate. Top job :)

Ah sweet.. Look forward to seeing more of those types of pics. Keep it up :)

Thanks Jay and Richie.. Much appreciated it.

Agree with matt said about jays pic. Your best yet I reckon. Love it :)

yeah, basically just hold the LED near the wall and move the light smoothly. doesnt always work perfect tho (top of the right ear on brain and the mountain behind him) but thats part of the fun. that and the night missions seeing awesome art on walls. its also not just the outlines but some of the fill/highlights also (just not in the above one as that piece was across from a brightly lit bikeway so i had to try and battle ambient light and the shadows it causes, so the fill didnt come out bright enough)

Looking good buddy! you need to show some of the original artists your work, they'd love it for sure! Puts a new light on their work.... get it? Oh I'm so funny.

anyway I took this last night. Been hanging to shoot something and my car was only a little bit dirty. It was good to crack out the strobes :) its been a while.

What length of time you open up for? I think the ambient light from street lights and stray light from the LED's cause me issues... with shadows created of my legs and such.

Do you ninja up in all black to reflect the least amount of light?! :woot:

    • 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.
