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.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
