If anyone is interested in taking pics of their car in a proper photo booth, i have acces to the one where i work.. there's also a car wash facility there so you can shine yr car up prior to shooting it.

There is, of course, a small fee for it's use and you must supply yr own camera.

PM me if yr interested

kthnx.

You also need to bring your own lighting to get it to look like the pro's do.

Studio's are great. Freakin awesome if you know what you're doing and have all the equipment. I'll gladly do a studio session with anyone's car. But it'll cost a lot of money to do.

Reflections play a key part. Even more so in a studio environment, because you don't want the lights showing up in the paint, but conversely you want the light to show off the lines of the car by reflecting. So things get a bit difficult. Lots of time is involved too.

Sure you can just rock up and start shooting with an onboard flash, but you'll get better results in an industrial park in the fading afternoon sunlight IMO.

This is what a studio setup looks like:

Yeah, but that makes the post work take so much longer. I hate working with warm lights.

lol

it was a joke

but i guess if you used a grey card to set the WB it wouldn't take so long...

but yeah, i know what you mean about working with warm lights

the ones i use at work make it so much easier to get accurate colours

    • Another question sorry, what stainless do u use in the turbo external WG plumb back piping? Is it 321, 316 or 304?
    • Right, its been a while for updating this car, but I made some small but important progress today. In the end I bought an Ecutek dongle from the Australian distributor Tunehouse (for local hardware support) but have gone with a remote tune from Racebox in the US (because they have done millions of these, and I could not find any tuner where I could access the tune anyway as they are all password locked). The App is reasonably easy to work with, but the PC software reminds me of Haltech's ECU Manager that you need to use with the Plat Pro ECUs, it is a nightmare.  Anyway, I sent the details over, got back a tune file and a request for data logs. I finally got a chance to access a private test track today as they want redline logs in 3rd and 4th, and have sent them back for the first round of reviews. The main difference in the tune is going from 1.0 (stock) to 1.3 bar (19psi), although I'm sure is a lot of other stuff in the background. Keeping in mind this is a dead stock car with 125,000klm, this is what the App's performance test claimed: Before After Interesting to note that both 400m tests had the same terminal speed (158klm/h) but different ETs. And no, the speed limiter seems to be higher than that at 186kl/h. Summary of the key logged parameters for the 3rd and 4th gear runs were: Those little turbos were certainly whizzing at 200,000rpm+.  Also I'm really not that excited about oil pressure 55psi at redline so I think I'll go thicker than 5w30 (nissan recommend 0w20....) and see if that improves it. Other than that (and the big boost spike....) everything looks good as a start to me.
    • Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂
