Rezz

I'll assume you can read English lol Sorry to disappoint but in red writing it says: Kaifu Genkin = Do Not Open.

It says: 'Battle Tamashi' Tamashi = soul Thats some cool katakana script right there...

Thanks mate I'm glad that you get enjoyment out of something that I enjoyed putting together. ... all this is old stuff now though. Just wait until the new year :( WINK

Immerse yourself into the pic... focus on the center, and let the frame encompass your entire field of vision... good. Now step into the pic... walk up to the FD and say to the driver how humid it is today and is he having a good time out on the track... wait for his response - in Japanese - but somehow you understand completely... now walk up to the ladies in the background. Introduce yourself and ask them if they'd like a drink from the kiosk... it's so humid they reply positively... now look around and breath in the curious mix of warm, thick mountain air and racing fuel fumes, all the time wiping sweat from your forehead... Are you there yet? This car isn't entirely to my taste, but I do like the lines of it on certain angles, and the colour is pretty nice too. Thumbs up recieved but not given... he was gutted so promptly went out and crashed... Token fake GT-R at the RX-7s meeting. A different angle of the green FD RX-7 above One of the better action shots on the day. Mars FD in the pits. It went on to have engine trouble and only got a handful of laps in. The 'show and shine' area at the RX-7s meeting.

A lone AE86 Trueno out at Central Circuit. It's almost amazing to see one that isn't trashed or a track only car now. Yet another FC. This one had a MONSTER intercooler 'mouth' cut out of the front bumper with some flint tools and other digging implements. (see next pic) Ok the cuts are pretty neat, but talk about front bumper massacre! Luvly stuff... I took another shot of this guys car in the pit area, and he was like 'Why do you want to take a pic of my car??? It's crap!' hahaha...

This is probably my best non-car pic by far... This man is a dentist so I can't show you his face... Another weird perspective shot that I like taking. I think that you can get so much more info and 'vibes' (?)from the scene when the subject is blurred and inconsequential parts are in focus... know wot ah mean? Another perspective shot, this time focusing on the common headlight. Can you *feel* the subject??? Tamon Design FC3S. This is a cutomers car, and it's about as good as FCs can get. Geez I'm gonna get one as a track car for sure. Speaking about FCs and tracks... I took about 10 tries to get this one.

As requested the hi res pics: Endless BNR32 GT-R at Garage Endless 2005 2 shots of the Nagisa Auto BNR34 GT-R... one with cars in the background, one without.

Any idea why it would? Also, is 'limp mode' something that can be reset just by turning the ignition off then on again? Weird I tell ya...

They're not specifically for GT-Rs, although theres not much stopping you from putting them on a GT-R... if you wanna go down that route. The D-Max rear fenders are probably a tad wider than stock GT-R rears, but you'd be spending alot of cash for minimal gain I'm pretty sure. You must have a serious set of wheels to be wanting to go wider with a GT-R. The front fenders are probably a straight fit, although I'm not sure about the front indicators, you might need to run HCR32 ones. D-max are the dogs danglies, I've got one of their carbon bonnets

Links: OF COURSE I do... will post it up tonight. Richard: Thanks for the props mate, I'll post up a hi rezz version fo the Endless R32 GT-R aswell. If anyone is wondering what '7Tune' is, it was a failed attempt by me and 2 other guys to make a 'net magazine'. The website is still up, but has been inactive for over a year now.

Thanks for all the relies guys, I've got something to go on now. Cheers

Nice asse... Anyone for a piece of asse? Asse chocolate tastes like sh*t... Nandaimon gate at Nara. This is one of the oldest survivng wooden structures in the world. If I recall correctly, it's about 1000 years old. At the base of the huge upright logs holding the roof up, the wood has actually worn away, making the base of the upright logs thinner... from centuries of people going up and touching the base... it's truely an amazing small detail that struck me and I'll remember it always. These 2 poor quality pics (well they were good quality for a phone at the time - early 2004 - 1.3mpix) are of the area just below the Okura Hotel near Harbourland in Kobe. We went up to the restuarant/bar on the top floor to do a photoshoot for an ad for a magazine article about our school. Going through a 5km tunnel east of Osaka. I was overtaken by an angry man in a Toyota Celsior at about 230km/h... how do I know that? Because I was bouncing off the speed limiter at 185km/h... slowed down to take this pic of course! After much deliberation and discussion, the executive board members decided that 'Oh Chips!' summed up their tasty fried potato snack the best Tons of bikes. There were a few colleges and offices near by hence the high number of them.

Nismo 270R at the 2004 Nismo Festival. I'm sure you all know this car... 2004 Nismo Festival. How much would you pay for one of these badges hmmm? ... the badges were on one of these Skylines... It's about time Nismo addressed the 1 box people mover segment. Honestly I don't know why they avoided it for so long... everyone know 40-something mum's are Nismo's biggest customer base. Flatwell S15 at Central Circuit. The camera doesn't do that day-glow yello/green paint justice. If you ever wanted to know what a Tomei complete RB26DETT looks like in the engine bay, well here it is. Another fave shot of mine.

J's Racing S2000 at Central Circuit (Option photshoot). These 2 shots are of the Sequential S15 demo car (version 1). If you think this thing is mad, the version 2 was even better... I've got pics of the ver.2 somewhere... Another Option photoshoot pic. This is the Trial Lancer Evo 7 which was second fastest that day at Central Circuit if I recall correctly. Bet you can't guess what engine powers this V35... ... the interior, although highly modded, doesn't give anything away... ... an SR20DET Nothing against SR's, but apart from lowering underbonnet temps, I can't think of any other reason why you'd dump the VQ in favour of the SR.

Nagisa Auto BNR34 GT-R at Central Circuit (Option mag private photoshoot) Nagisa GT-R in the pits at Central Circuit. Another one of my fave shots. Asuka had already finished the shoot for the day, but I asked if she wanted to go down to Harbourland for some 'glamour' shots (lol) and she agreed. Total professional girl. Incidently she was one of Mercedes Benz Japans 'image girls' last year... not sure what she's up to now. SuperAutobacs w00w port City FD RX-7 demo car down at Sunshine wharf in Kobe. Another model, this time it's Atsuko in the SuperAutobacs RX-7. She was with me for about 3 hours but didn't want any cash at all, so I posted about 10,000 yen to her house ($120), about a week later about 10,000 yens worth of 'Meiji Celebration basket' (a basket full of Meiji chocolate, snacks, coffee etc) turned up at my place...

Ok we'll do. Tahnks Anyone have any idea about the shudder, and the off-throttle holding revs weird thing?

Yep stock ECU. Only running cat back 3" exhaust, big intercooler and about 10psi... although I don't have a boost controller of any sort... thats what the GReddy boost guage says. So what sensor could it be? Just to add, I find that when I go off throttle, sometimes it feels like the throttle body is completely shut, with proper engine braking happening... but other times it feels like (even though I've taken my foot completely off the accelerator) the engine braking isn't happening at all... almost like it's holding throttle as in not accelerating or braking. This I can live with, but still I don't know what it's happening intermittently.

I luv em I really do. FD's are suuuuugeeeeee. Can't for the life of me think of why this Silvia was trashed so much...? I bet he watched that crappy 'Tokyo Drift' movie. This photo never ceases to scare me. Why, when she should be concentrating on the show (girls group Azure - Ing's Image girl Yu Saito), is that chick on the stage taking a peek over to where I am... AND WHO IS THAT WEIRD BLOKE BEHIND THE LIGHTING STAND also looking at me? RB26DETT in a Soarer. Another well presented S14 with correct offset, camber and width. God bless em. No, it isn't a Laurel... it's a Cefiro with a Laurel face. The best looking Accord by far.

Trial BCNR33 at 2005 Osaka Auto Messe. Another one of those Japanese drink machines... whoopty-fuggen-doo. JZX80 Mark II. Correct offset, camber and wheel width. Trust the Japanese to get it right, every time. Just a regular train scene. Actually this was taken around midday so it wasn't crowded. Haha this shot was cool. I was standing with about 30 other photographers all calling out her name trying to get her to look at them, but she decided to pose for the token gaijin... what were the odds? I didn't say shit... This girl could speak a little English and I gave her a school business card which she ended up going for a sample lesson about a month later. Like it or hate it, this R32 should've been inside not outside.

I love this shot... Nissan March under a sakura tree in Ashiya, Hyogo-ken. I told you there are carbon bonnets for Honda Odysseys... ... but sadly no FRP 'eyelids' available for the long suffering Mitsubishi Legnum. Hey why not just use white electrical tape instead!!! Japan isn't all new-and-up-to-three-year-old-cars ruling the streets. A Citroen 2CV makes an extremely rare appearance outside my apartment in Higashi Nada. Street scene in Higashi Nada on a nice summers day. This is the Hankyu Umeda Station Mall where Andy Garcia had his jacket stolen by the guy on the motorbike then was killed in the movie 'Black Rain'. Just a normal scene showing the density of housing pushed right up to the edges of the train tracks. It kinda makes you feel sorry for the poor souls who grow up in this environment, what with the noise and all at night, day, morning, evening...

Nismo Z-Tune S2 before it was 'released' at the 2004 Nismo Festival. Pic of Umeda, the central CBD of Osaka. That ferris wheel is on top of a multi level mall called 'hep 5'. Another one of the DRFT cars out the front of Utsumi Akinori's house. A *real* Tommy Kaira R... at SuperAutobacs 43 in Amagasaki. Whoops... it's that time of year again. Randy deers in Nara. My poor old R32... you should see it now Now THIS is a used car dealership... GT Net in Nishinomiya.
