just tried using the battery in the scooter to power my spotlight. worked well for a few minutes, lol. need to sort out some kind of dual battery setup. although, this thing runs on the smell of an oily rag so i could just use it as a generator :P

Those interior shots of the S15 are awesome Matboy...light painted?

Couple of photos from a friend's wedding last weekend...

interior shots are rad.

Good stuff Nick, good to see you posting up some pics!

Agreed. In fact, all of the shots of Fappy's S15 are great, Matt.

Thanks Kory, I've taken a few shots here and there, it's just a matter of finding the time and/or energy to edit and post them up.

Love that shot of the front of the FD3 RX7, too!

Jay, I'm absolutely loving your night and LED light-painting shots, and using the old tricycle in those shots takes it to a new level again!

THose interior shots were 90% strobed. only painted in the back where i couldn't get a strobe in. :)

This place was dead all month, the last few days every post has been f**king awesome! keep this up! I'm going to post some new shots after lunch.

A mate came over yesterday to get a few shots of his car as he's about to put it up on carsales. Used 2 speed lights. Twas a 30 minute shoot, and I spent an hour tops in photoshop. Mostly adjusting curves and overlaying a few shots where I needed lights in more spots. Apart from overlays though, basically straight from camera. Pretty happy about that.

Full set is Here!

PM me if you or someone you know is interested. He's chasing $10,500. Located Penrith, NSW.

I've been away for the past few days - and for good reason.

I just went through the most emotional day of my life. I'm glad I can share it with you all

dude! congrats man. your in for some awesome times. just get used to very little sleep :P

Haha thanks mate. She's been home for 5 days. We are already starting to figure out this 'getting used to very little sleep' thing haha.

I was so excited to share my images, I had to jump on and do a post on the website...

Congratulations man! :D

I was wondering where you went, now we know! (the smarter ones here probably worked it out already haha)

A few more of the red sil. f**k me, red is the HARDEST colour to shoot/blend with background. Anyone who says black is hard has probably never tried to take a good shot of a red car.

Here's one I can't claim credit for - it was actually shot by Owen ("cpd" here on the forums) one afternoon just after I picked him up from work to go to an SAU-NSW meeting.

    • oh they were with that motor, you need to remove the engine to change the spark plugs (don't have to, but it does make it easier)
    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
