thanks for that steve....looks good on the Dell 22"

Port Adelaide was exactly where I was thinking but trying to find an area with no or very little traffic could be an issue......unless its 4am.

Over a bridge to get that curved effect then photoshop the car out, leaving the stove trails, would be good but you don't want another car crossing while the shutter is still open.

love that shot :P

thanks i would upload the full res pic only its about 6mb......

as for the wheels they were nice till i lent out the car and it had a bang, so there off getting repaired now, god knows what theyll come back like :banana:

you dont have to edit it in photoshop mate if the shutter is open long enough theyll just be a stripe :P

how do u get the light trail??

you just use a tripod and a long shutter speed if you look at this one closely

youll see that theres a white line on it where i was actually on the way back before the shutter closed.

wow that is trippy! how long till the shutter closes?

wat camera?

i want one! lol

im using a 400d

about 2mins it was open maybe 3

cool.....do you remember what shutter speed you used and what speed the car drove away approx.

shutter speed was 3"2.... drove away at drag launch after sitting for about 30seconds

mick what size n offsets are your cr kai's?

any side on pics that show the angle of the spokes?

wheels are 18" x 9.5 all round offset of 30 i think will have to double check the offset though... let me find a pic...

hmm, ok.....so was the shutter open during the 30 secs that you sat there cause I would've thought the car would be visible if that was the case

it was.... i was tryin to get the lights to be a bit brighter. car would only be still there if i stayed for more then half of the shutter or it was brighter out i think could be wrong though, dont really know why its not...

thanks for the info....always good to ask which saves us experimenting too much

best one so far, shame its an old pic lacking a lot of mods. but as strange as it sounds, to get a good pic of ur car, its not about the car. u need to consider background, theme, time of day, locations of the objects in the image, etc. quickly taking a snap in ur driveway after u washed it wont cut it :P

and i managed to take this on a shitty 2mp nokia.

btw its not a skyline :banana:

    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
