More Great Pics Matt! I love all these fantastic photos!

Hey, but I get the A++++ for committment.... maybe that should have been an F for over committment... hmmm..... [walks away head down]

Well of course I baised cause I have a 33 GTR. As much as we all love to compare they are two very different machines. It is very easy to spend another 10-15k modifying a GTR. Of course it isn't all that hard to get 220 awkw from base stock RB26. But above that you have to start laying in the associated mods. Handling wise you also really want a set of coil overs and bars, maybe some adjustable arms if you intend to lower it a bit. Let's be honest, 33 GTR's come from the factory in 4x4 spec suspension height. Of course as a track car you have a much better handling car. Drag strip you have a car that gets off the line quicker and can put down more power efficently. And a Texi's well - hehe. Oh, lastely, I also belive the GTR to be safer as a street car because if you hit that wet spot where a RWD car may step out, the AWD kicks in and gives you a bit of edge on controlling the yaw rate. So I guess the moral of my story: If you currently love your car and are happy with it and will be happy with the outcome for the price, then go for the upgrade. If you want to step up into the GTR and are willing to some degree - start the upgrade process all over then go that route.

hey great pic Matt. Finally a picture of my car where you can actually see the bulge of the rear guards. That's such a hard feature to capture on a white car.

Behind the Scenes Video from Matt & Kory's photoshoot is up! (Best viewed full screen in HD - will take about an hour for YouTube to fully process the video for quality)

It's a filter called Color EQ from NewBlueFX. It allows all kinds of color adjustments so I can almost mimic some HDR. Somehow I thought you might like it cause you do some similar effects on your photos. I wanted to see how far I can go with the simple GoPro video without being over the top.

Behind the Scenes Video is up! [edit: fixed now] (Best viewed full screen in HD - will take about an hour for YouTube to fully process the video for quality)

Somehow I think that Speed off the streets is going to be very busy between now and May next year.

Good work in here boys. I finished the behind the scenes video last night. Had a quick look at it this morning and looks good. I left it recompiling for YouTube as I left for work. So will be posting it tonight when I get home.

Hey fellas, Started the behind the scenes video. I'll need some of the photos in good res to put into the video - a la [shutter sound] photo spins down on the video frame (I think my software will do that). Good stuff, loving all those fantastic shots.

This shot makes me grin almost as wide as GD2ILA! Awesome work!

Hehe, yeah boys I went through the audio although it is a bit hard to hear over Nick's exhaust note. I know I'm a pain and always get in the shot - lol! I wish you could set the exposure a bit more on the GoPro. It always tries to just shoot as fast as it can so it misses out on all that lovely motion blur unless you're going pretty fast.

Kory - WOW. That looks amazing! I had a quick play with a few of the photos when we stuck the gopro in auto on the side of Nick's car. Had a little play with cropping and some color adjustments. Obviously no substitute for the kind of stuff you & Matt are doing, but not a bad result from a $300 rig.

Count me in too Phil. Thanks.

It's a real shame that no one imports Craftsman tools here in Oz. Craftsman is Sears & Robuck brand in the US. They've always made good quality spanners and sockets at really competitive rates. I've still got a lot of my sets from when I lived in the states 10 years ago. When I go back next year I plan to bring back a fair bit.

Hey folks, I finished the draft edit of the Video last night. There are a couple of scenes where one of my video filters put a watermark that I'll be removing. If anyone wants a copy PM me. I'll just ask for a $5 donation for SAU to cover production and mailing costs. I can author either a movie DVD or send a Data DVD with the hires Video File. Let me know which you prefer.

Thanks all. Terry, this is the finished video. After editing it and doing some final pass editing it came in just under 10 minutes. Any longer and the sequences feel a bit too long. We're all acustomed to video frames at about 2-10 seconds max. Funny that. So I can either author a "Movie DVD" that will play in your DVD player or else a data dvd with the hi-res video.

'Sup boys n girls? Video is in: (edit) I see that for some reason one of the video filters I use left a watermark. Will have to fix it later and re-upload.

Hey guys, I'm happy to share some of my footage. I try to keep all of it. I've got track days, Texi's, cruises and show'n shine. Also happy to share what I'm learning through trial and error. Amazing how good something looks just shortening clips, blending transitions and whacking a sound track. I'm sure some folks can do event better.

Sorry folks, been working 14-16 hour days. Work sucks! >.< Hope to get some time to work on the video soon, just don't know when.

I did a lot of work on it this weekend but only about 2/3 of the way through. I'll also have to chop a bit of my content out as it is already over 10 minutes which is the maximum allowed on youtube. So far I'm pretty happy with the way it is turning out so hope to have it up this week.

So there must be a few other video buffs out there in SAU. Here is a thread for us to share our work and discuss how to's. I wanted to see if I could replicate an effect I saw on another video forum. That guy's budget and time investment were much much higher. Best watched full screen IMO Now post some video your proud of and discuss.

hey guys. I'm sorting through my footage now. I've posted a few teasers in the wrap up thread. As Kory said, I'm a bit sad to say that the footage of the actual cruise was a bit tainted by all the road spray cluttering the camera lenses. Although the sound from the goPro on the back of my GTR sounds Noice!

Hey Brian, thanks for the PM. Yeah I'm excited to be part of this. I'll block out the dates just let me know when. And I can do some behind the scenes video. Timelapse would look awesome.

ahem.... I'd love to take part. And I live on the N-shore of Sydney. Just mine is slowly being transformed from the stock look. Can put the R34 rims back on it to cut down the "bling" a bit.
