on that note, my vote for non-professional category is actually frinik

but oh well dont want all that hard work go to waste, so ill post it up anyways even if it wont count :P "i told myself i wasnt gonna cry hmmmmph'

I vote for rrrage's "Garfield/Ralph/Gumby/DomoKun" combo.  ;)

frinik is a graphic designer though? just not an employed one. and if not, that leaves one person in the category of professional... bah!

the whole damn system's out of order.

oh.....well then.....i vote for you rrrage........cos u an me i think were the only ones that did decent entries(imho) and arent professional graphic designers(i'm assuming your not.)

I'm a total NewB at this cause the only photochopping i have ever done before this competition is this:

nah i just surfed around www.automotiveforums.com > automotive art section a bit and learnt a few things.

i should've taken visual communication class at school... would've learnt how to use ps

There is no substitute to self-learning PS. Nice TS Style front bar in your sig BTW, is that your baby?

I cannot believe you didn't think my entries were decent.... i hold my head in shame...

btw - for good photoshop tut's, check out www.tutorialforums.com its a good site.

when is this getting drawn? how is this being drawn?

i ain't no graphic designer or anything like that either. i think it to be a little unfair that people that do this for a work can enter the comp... oh well... it is amazing what you can teach yourself just by messing around in photoshop and having some imagination... i haven't even opened the instruction book yet!!! ha ha

I think it would be unfair if I couldn't enter! Work for me is designing corporate logos, business cards, letterheads and web sites and I consider this oppotunity to make some "ART" which is related to my passion of cars (Skylines!) very far from what I do for "work". And yes, photoshop is fun, and fairly intuitive (a brush is a brush, a pencil and pencil etc) so everyone who has photoshop should have a bash at it. I never read the book/manuals either. I think the creators of Photoshop have created an absolute monster of a program. I doubt that the creators could ever have predicted some of the amazing imagery that people have created with their program.

I'm super chuffed with these entries. I love all of them!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
