1 the front needs some light. it's to dark.

2 the colours are off, try to make the white balance more natural looking and less yellowy.

3 i dont mind the iso noise if it helps tell the story, you would want to steetr clear of it if your presenting a super clean car or a gorgeous girl, but if your shooting a tough looking car in a back alley, or a rough looking subject the noise can actually add to the shot.

4 that filter effect is horrible man. it's good to play with it and see what you can or can't do though. not saying don't try stuff, just saying the end result of this experiment doesnt help tell your story or make your subject look better.

Cheers man, i've had a bit more of a play with the colour balance and I think im getting the hang of it. The lights i was shooting under didnt seem too bad in person, but its turned out really yellow in pretty much all the shots I took.

Do you have any suggestions on different filters to use to create background blur, or is it more a case of not bothering with it if you cant get it naturally?

First go at a proper Panorama shot. It's not perfect but pretty happy with it. Worked out later on that the camera was level facing the direction I started shooting but as I turned it started to slant, but oh well lol. Gotta start somewhere (not sure how its going to come out in here

I was doing scenery shots, and the car was just parked in the right spot to include it :)

I have this one as well, but I didn't take enough time with it and focused the rocks not the car :domokun:

Doens't look that out of focus but still noticable:

Couple of shots that didn't make the set. Car is featured in current Street Machine Hot Rods. One of Australia's iconic 'tuner' cars of years gone by. FJCoupe. It was built/modified in the 60's and been hiding in a garage for 40 years. Recently restored. Was a great little car :)

    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
    • Hi, Marek here 🙋‍♂️. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
