A Little Bit Of This & A Little Bit Of That :D - Random Photo's


Recommended Posts

Love the Drift R/Brembo and the twilight shot.

mmm... i love the original GTR and the gold brembo :(

Some wicked shots there Rob.

Damn i gotta get a decent camera and someone to show me what to do.

That stuff looks too hot!

Took me TOO long to type before you [NS2500] realised they were 4:3

While on the topic though Greg, I have always wondered why you put a frame around your pics? To dress them up? :)

Either way, both you guys always rollout some really top notch pics :P [for digital-era monkeys]

end :D

Greg has only just joined the digital Era!

Usually he takes all the pics on Film!!!!

And you reckon you get taken the wrong way Ash :P

AFAIK Greg has both types of camera and has for a while, in fact i think i read somewhere that he has several different cams including more than 1 digi...

Digital Era: when I studied photography [89-92], there were no digital cameras, now there are and have been for probably 5-10 years - at the consumer level.

I have a cheap-arse digital cam myself but my SLR [non-digital] is a FAR SUPERIOR camera.

Digital in most cases is just EASIER, hence the market boom - every idiot can use one - NO OFFENCE!

Keep it on topic Ash paaaaaaalease! :D

I still believe film is much nicer, if you can afford to use it. But digital is so much more economical:

Say I shoot 100 shots of film (typical event shoot)...

4 x 24 exp professional slide film - $30

Processing & mounting for 4 rolls - $50

That's $80 before I even begin to scan them to put them up on the web.

With digital, after the $2K outlay for a decent camera it costs NOTHING, so after 25 shoots I've paid off the camera and it's costing me nothing from then.

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
