Yeahhhh but black cars look more amazing when they are clean :P

Think I might try the harbour shots again at night time, or in some lower light. Think they would look better like that. Might have to go do some light painting in a different area one day as well

I have a shorter and a longer lense, obviously one zooms further. Then I have a prime lense which doesnt zoom at all, generally prime lenses will take a better photo but you lose the flexibility of having zoom.

My prime lense also has a better apature range. Without going to far into it, the prime lense I have is better for creating some depth in photos, and I find it gives a bit better colour. But it only focuses a minimum distance of 1 and a bit metres from memory in front of the camera.

Depth like this, not the best example but you get the idea:

I want to get a slightly longer lense then what I currently have, this photo from Formula 1 this year you can still slightly see the fence, If I'd had a touch more zoom I probably could have focused it out completely.

There's alot to learn, and I don't think you ever stop learning. But I'm self taught, just looking at other peoples photos and then working out how they did it. It's pretty good fun to learn, and nice going out and just playing with a camera

Anyway. I'll leave it at that :)

I'd never buy a black car after seeing my brother fight his F6 week in week out with keeping it clean but it does look good when clean.

Pics look good Cal :thumbsup: cheeky snap of what is to go into your build i assume.

Thats an old photo. Those parts arent visible anymore ;)

Black is 100% worth the effort. You just have to put in the effort once or twice a year doing a full polish/buff and wax. Then its easy to clean and looks clean for a bit longer

Next car will probably be white but. But white suits it a bit better then white on a skyline

Sorting through some stuff today and found an old copy of performance imports with a Midnight Purple GTR in it. Real familiar one

ah righto. yeah most i ever did was at skool. but you can tell the differences between them all.. more stuff to spend money on i suppose lolbut after having a gun metal grey 180, those dark colours can piss right off lol. white has been the easiest to maintain so far.

Sold the V35 today. I'm going to miss it :/

Ah you will get over it Sean ;) cars come and go, I've had heaps of my cars in my time, you get sad for awhile then you get excited about the next car. You can always look forward to the next project/challenge. Set some goals and go for them, research is the key. I can't wait for my next project other than my FJ.

That's what i am thinking about - it's the only way i can stay positive about selling it. I plan to save the money i was putting towards mods/on road costs insurance etc towards a house and get into property in about 12 months with my Mrs. Then start saving pennies for a GTR. i really would love a 33 V spec. In fact, Jordan if you want to sell me yours in a years time let me know man! haha.

Hey mate..

Yeah depends on the car and how you drive it i think. If you just drive normal and have a clean car you should be right but like all places a ratty car and give it a hiding then you will always draw attention to yourself.

    • With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)
    • Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar. 
    • This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
    • Yeah I would like to try and get a ADM car to reduce issues with insurance. I've decided if I end up getting this car I will set it up to be a sleeper build, leave it looking stock/dad spec on the outside I wonder if you can just drop in the 400r/Red/Z ECU or better still use a flashing tool to copy the map off one. Backup the factory map and then flash the 400hp cars onto the 300hp cars ECU?
    • Nah, yeah, nah. Speakers have a nominal impedance of 8 ohm that looks more like 6.4 ohm when measured. The receiver's amplifiers (all channels) are all rated to 6 ohm (I think, it's been a long time since I cared). The real problem is that many modern class D amps have aggressive protection circuitry that cuts off the fun if they think too much current is being drawn. And with my speakers having series crossovers, as opposed to more typical parallel crossovers, and big TL enclosures, they can certainly dip down to lower impedances at some frequencies and that easily triggers the protection. Pioneer receivers are somewhat famous for it, but even Denon, Onkyo, et al, all have many complaints against them across various models. It only does it when listening to music at high levels. You have to be putting your ears at risk to do it. But sometimes I want to do that. If I was serious about using it as a listening room I'd simply upgrade the amp for the front pair to a nice Rotel or something, and just use the receiver for signal handling and processing - although that would be a bit of a pain in the arse too. Have to switch on more shit, pre-amp volume vs main amp volume, etc etc.
