Take the FE220, it's an ok camera, good for personal shots and things, the other one is a bit old, round 4-5 years i'm guessing? and only 4MP vs 7.1, not that MP matters, it's all about image quality, optical zoom and ISO, both have pretty low zooms 3x and 4x,

So i reckon the FE220

If you are looking into getting into real good photography later on, I'd recommend if you're on a budget of say $500

get the FujiFilm S5700 and a 2-4gb SD card + some rechargable AA batteries, it takes nice quality photos 10x optical zoom, good for point and shoot work

or hardcore styles a Canon 30D or 40D then say a 35-200mm lense, will easily set you back a few grand, usually round 3k

Make sure you post the pics up of any good skylines at the show :rolleyes: have fun dude

Haha cheers mate, don't think there will be any skylines, I wish the new gtr would be there but don't think im that lucky.

Ur right about the c-750, although it does have 10x optical zoom and far more manual features, not that i know how to use them though ;-)

The fe220 seems to be quite a nice point and shoot camera, but most of the photos i have taken in darkish environments turn out weird.

Be patient... There will be a lot of people in there... people will walk infront of you, and they will bump you...

Eventually you'll get the shot you want... and the more important your camera looks, the more people that will stop for you :thumbsup:

Get a lanyard around your neck too :)

Take both and look REALLY important!

then you can compare the results so you know for next time..

Haha i like the way you all think!!! Will have two cameras and a lanyard, and somehow i'll make my camera look cool and im set!

Yea i think i will take both, get the missus to use one and ill use the other. Ill take heapsa pics and post all the good ones hear...hopefullly the chicks....

    • I was once told, who it was I'm to old to remember, that the length of the OEM wheels brace supplied with a vehicle is designed long enough for a average person to apply enough torque to do up, and undo the wheel nuts to the specified torque  What a average person is is anyone's guess though, i.e. average fat bastard, average knuckle head, average perfect sized human......like me Unless of course, a tyre shop has ugga dugga'd them up to "torque to yeild/strip" specs, used cross threading as natures lock tight, or a big breaker bar was used to tighten them up to get some nice stretch in the poor old wheel studs Me, I torque wheel nuts to 1 elbow joint click, lower torque settings are based of wrist clicks, higher torque settings are based of shoulder clunks, or total dislocation for anything that requires all of the torques 
    • I think the catch can design is pretty flawed. Evident in the fact that the V2 one moved to a larger top mounted filter which alone would have helped with overflow and reduce restrictions compared with the side filter. I also imagine there was a major improvement to the baffling design. It is worth mentioning that this catch can with the RB20 was never as much of an issue and the high kms RB25 is likely a part of the problem. I have gotten quotes for both a new "Vibrant Gen 3" catch can and to modify this existing ones but that may have to wait until after the track day. I hope the sump/head breathers/drains and cam splash plates will be enough
    • Yep, both. The ratio is 1.8 instead of OEM being 1.7. The rocker bodies are modified with a larger bolt hole and re-threaded with 10mm holes instead of the 8mm YT has stock. Finding out they don't actually fit the stock castings cause a lot of un-impressment by the person in the USA who tapped the new holes for the 'upgraded' YT product. He was very unhappy with them given their previous design did not require 'clearancing'
    • That too, but I think this is why she's put the work into the cam cover baffles. I mean, a catch can should only need to be a catch can, not an oil air separator also. Not to say that putting the effort into having it do a better job of oil-air sep is a waste of time, but doing the sep earlier is always going to make life better. And that should happen now anyway.
    • I think both. Higher ratio and more stout. I think at least part of his lift increase came from the rocker.
