just to correct whats been said before, as for difference between canon & nikon lenses, i think its the image stability built into the lense not the auto focus that differentiates the two brands.

Canon bodies don't have image stability built into them, its built into the lenses (any one labelled with 'EF-S'( S for stability))

Just a correction on the section of that post that I highlighted - the "EF-S" in a Canon lens description does not stand for "Stability," it stands for the fact that those lenses will ONLY fit cameras with the smaller APS-C sensor (i.e. 450D, 500D, 550D, 50D, 7D). If a lens is tagged as an "EF" lens, then it will fit cameras with either the APS-C or full-framed sensors (i.e. 1D MkIV, 1Ds MkIII, 5D MkII).

If you've decided what you want, do an advanced search on Static Ice for the best pricing in your area, or check out Digital Camera Warehouse who have stores in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. If you don't mind buying from o/seas try B&H Photo Video in the US or DigitalRev in Hong Kong. I've bought from all 3 shops and the delivery dates were quick!

Not that I feel qualified to give advice on what's ultimately the best choice I do feel qualified to tell you what I think about my D90.

It's awesome. It's priced well enough to help get me in the game and comes with enough features and flexibility to keep me busy and is having no trouble keeping up with me as i advance through photworld.

It's build quality is great. It's heavy enough to robust and handle a few knocks, but not so heavy it's a pain to carry and use. I can't see myself wanting to replace it for quite a while.

I'm glad I picked this one over the D5000. The couple extra hundred bucks was well spent I say.

Anyway, good luck!

agreed, I'm very happy with my D90, as it does exactly what I need it for. I bought the base only and went with a couple of fast lenses rather than go for the kit ones, but the base is sturdy, has lots of accessories, is pro enough to keep me interested, and simple enough to be easy to use.

I'm still discovering new techniques and features on it, and I've had it for a year now.

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
