Okay. Actual full size replica of the Titanic. 25 million dollar building in my home town area. =)

I visited it and the Liverpool Legends were there (Endorsed by Louise Harrison - George Harrison's sister) which is the best cover band for The Beatles.

So here are some (very few) pictures that I have from that. I will be putting more up when I get a chance.

And if you want terrible lighting, go to a concert of some sort... lol

What's cool is that they have ACTUAL stuff from the Titanic, and people come about who were relatives from the actual crew etc. They also have a 100% authentic 1 million $ replica of the staircase from the Titanic. Talk about an amazing place, this thing is neat as hell. Thought you guys would love it, too bad it didn't make it for real =(

Yes, you can ACTUALLY see what it WAS like to be ON the Titanic...

Something else amazing is... if you DO come here to see that, ever. Your tickets would cost you 22.0893 AUD per adult. Which is AMAZING.

I took these two shots (amongst others) the other day while I was at my cousin's house for Easter lunch and dinner.

Unfortunately, I didn't think to clean the chrome-backed mirror of my cousin's Prado before taking these shots, and I'd forgotten how much extra detail you get with a D-SLR. I'm not yet nearly good enough to go thru it with Photoshop to clone out all the blemishes, so all I've done for these is some exposure, saturation and cropping adjustments.

It adds the lines to the viewfinder that split your image into 9 squares, they don't look emulated, they look like they are really there. they dont look any different to the focus points and horizon lines that are there already.

Look in your advanced options and see if you can find it.

ohh yeah the rule of thirds assist. This viewfinder lens replacement assists you in figuring out what's in focus, and what's not, and if in fact something really is in focus (line up the 45 degree split on the subject image and it'll be in focus). The oldschool film SLR's used to use this trick. It doesn't affect liveview.

Call me old fashioned, but I hate liveview unless I'm shooting something from ground level. The day someone makes a gooseneck adapter for the viewfinder I'll be all over it.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
