I went to Wakefield on Saturday for the NSWSSC Round #5.

Was a great Day had by all! Some super fast lap times by all competitors, especially two 35GTR's! I believe they are members here also.

I hope you enjoy the pics :D

I need to turn you upside down and shake out all your wisdom!

I think the 3rd pic is my fav. But it's a hard call.

Any chance I can get a larger copy of that panda MNR? Number 9. I work with the person who built that and did the wiring loom in it :domokun:

haha please don't I'll get dizzy :)

if your heading to the SAU trackday in July feel free to question me there but not upside down!

Thanks for the compliments again!

Yeah sure, for an SAU member what the heck :). As long as it's not used for commercial work, no probs.

PM me or email me what size your after/print size you want and I'll resize them for you.

Do I get a free home loan for it :thumbsup:

PM'ed!

I should be at the track day, probably not driving though. cash be tight. So I'll wear my best shaking gloves :thumbsup:

Maybe not a free one but there's some cash back from commission for car members and sau.

Reeeeplied.

Oooo alright. Get your panning gloves on too :thumbsup: Feel free to come and bash info out of me all day. :thumbsup:

Hahaha i was just jesting. I'm no where near financially stable enough yet to get a home loan. Oh, and i'm too young(22) to think about that just yet, few more years!

Thanks for the comments guys :cool:

Sorry Rocklee it seems my iphone skipped over your post. I used a 70-200 2.8IS for these photos.

Cheers!

Matboy, i sent you what you requested at 3000x2000 which should be sufficient for poster size prints. Let me know if its not :sweat:

Yeah its a great lens! Might be a bit heavy for some people but i find it fine!

You looking at the mark I 2.8IS or the mark II 2.8IS?

the F/4 is the sharpest version of them all if your after pure sharpness and don't need the extra stop.

Although the mkII 2.8IS is super sharp also, comparisons reveal similar results were previous results, the 2.8 was soft wide open.

Absolutely, its funny I can get some great feedbacks on camera gear on a motoring forum! lol

I'm a landscape shooter which was why I was looking at F4. My uncle has the 2.8 mk1 IS version and he barely uses it (might sell it to me for cheap ;-) )

I hear that the 2.8 mkII isn't a significant improvement over the older one, I think most people should be happy with either.

Yeah lol.. Because most motorsport photographers use a WA, Mid zoom or prime (24-70 or 50mm) and a 70-200 + then a bigger lens like 300,400,500,600 lol.

Yeah good choice then if your a landscape photographer, mostly shooting off a tripod, you won't need IS then but its good to have for those portrait shots/typical shots.

Well, i think its a big improvement from what i've seen. They've given it another stop of IS, Apparently got rid of the focusing issues which can't be calibrated through microadjustment (spot on focus at 70, but not at 200), its sharper, not soft wide open anymore and more controlled CA.

But for an extra $1200? No thanks lol. I'll wait until the price drops!

Soon 70-200 2.8IS's will be selling second hand for $1600'ish i think!

Thanks mate!

You do?! Wow, you must have money :D Saw you at superlap also. I got a few photos of you there in the 32GTR.

P.S. Your car will be in Hot4s next issue (196) from the SAU shoot AGES ago to palm beach. Just a reminder!

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
