I've had a quick play with a few photos, only really playing with the settings in Photoshop, cant really think of ways to make them look cool at this time of night.

Grand Palace, Bangkok:

POW Cemetry for Death Railway:

Bridge over River Kwai (removed some of a tree from the top of photo, can kinda notice):

So if anyone has any ideas on how to improve this I'd be happy to hear them, I tried using a B&W effect on the grave and just having the purple flowers in colour but this didnt look right

Spot color is really hard to get good results from. Have a go at a de-saturated look. So not quite B&W, but tone down the colors a bit. Not sure if it will work, but worth a try.

Got some new wheels the other day. Was an absolute bargain. So cheap to get around on, just cant carry a whole lot, lol. Also slows right down going up big hills, but you get that. Better than not being able to go out at all cause it costs too much to fill up the elgrand, lol.

The flame sticker makes it for me :P I had one years ago and painted it army cammo. was rad. twisted the frame jumping it though :/ tip from matty: Don't do massive jumps on it. small ones are ok ;)

p.s. i got my light the other day. just need to make a battery pack for it now and i'm ready to rock. might visit jaycar today for some bits.

a couple from Fappy's S15.

Sweet ride :P

is that more crazy light effects in the background

is this kinda what you mean with the effect? Probably not exactally but anyway

Photo from a 21st, its a bit blurry otherwise this probably would have been a great photo:

Wow... so many amazing photos this month. Nice work guys!

My wife likes the walking dead. She says how scary some of the scenes are at night time... so showed her how 'scary' she can look

This ain't scary compared to when I'm in trouble

haha, i wouldnt feel confident enough to jump a step through frame. it still feels weird not standing on pedals or footpegs.

i did do a little burnout on it today tho, just a quick one as it was in the driveway. looking forward to doing a proper smoking tyreshredder soon tho, need a new front tyre anyway, so going to chuck it on the back and see if i can pop it :D

cant wait to see what these RBG strips can do in the hands of a decent photographer, i reckon we will be seeing some epic stuff soon :yes:

yeah, just walked past it with the LED stick.

sort of. i had a try with it and wasnt too sure if it was what i had in mind at all. i think converting it to b&w might be worth a try.

kory, love the colors in that shot, awesome dude. only thing i could think of that would improve the shot is a tiny bit of light on the ground to give the car/tyres some seperation from the background. any other color and it wouldnt be an issue at all, but with the black on black it starts to dissapear into the background a bit. other than that its perfect. unless its just my monitor being a bit too dark?

yep that is one cool shot! can't wait to see the rest of the set!

I got to break out the lights last (last) weekend on the silvia shoot. Forgot how much fun painting is! It's like your god! 100% control of the light and the image. well maybe not a god but more like a painter than a photographer. Your not capturing, but more creating. Love it.

Thanks Jay :) On my monitor it is pretty separated. I found that on my work monitors also. Might do a test print and see how it is then, but thanks for the feedback! If the test print is sh!t, then i will give it some light. So hard to work with a black and white car lol.

Your trippy ass backgrounds and images are starting to make me feel like i'm high 24/7 hahaha. Loving it.

Matt - Sweet lighting and photo. Although i said on Hardtuned, not sure if i like the flare top right..... it's starting to grow on me a bit!

Some shots from Driving sports drifting.

Shooting at 1/10th trying some new stuff

needs a tyre and..... and.....

moar low -_- hahaha\

haha, yeah its a bit noisy like this >.<

i plan on doing a restoration on it, after I do a series of night shots of it in various locations.

sweet action shots!

cheers g.

i sent a message to the drift mag saying they're mag could be better.. if it had me covering sydney action'. He said it was a trial mag to see if there was demand for it. do u know if it sold well enough for them to keep pumping out more issues?

lol, i have no idea how well it sold. i only know that pretty much all of the content was donated and not paid for. probably a good thing ;) but you and Kory should definitely be covering Sydney action

    • 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.
    • The stock manifold is "mostly" divided. The divider actually has a notch cut out of it where it would meet the divider on a twin scroll housing. I have no idea why. But whatever the reason, it would cause some cross talk when used with a twin scroll housing. People do put twin scroll housings onto that manifold. But I'm of the opinion that proper twin scroll internal gating is...not really possible at this scale. You'd be throwing good effort (ie $$) after bad, when you really should be doing something else. Notwithstanding that.... I am not sure what the idea that you are floating has to do with the difference in comp cover position caused by the highflow using a shorter length core than the stock Hitachi one. Can you clarify what you meant?
