first time taking panning shots of cars since selling the DSLR gear. the light weight of the P&S is a bit of a disadvantage, but managed to get this one at 1/50th of an old fella enjoying his pride and joy

Nothing special, just a shot after my GTR's first wash (picked it up yesterday)...

Loving the 5D2 + Sigma 50mm f/1.4 combination, focus is a bit off sometimes, should probably micro-adjust it >_<

The mrs was givin that one by her work... it did have lots of scratchies hanging from it. Was told newsagencies sell em'

Love the spade bit shot, Jay. The aerial on the roof of the ute makes it look like it has an erection :/

i had to convert the shot of the drill bit to black and white tho cause i couldnt get colors to look right. the light i was using was a fluro with a very pink cast and i was too lazy to set my own K level. i really should have shot it in RAW and fixed it while converting it, but yeah not really how i roll with the point and shoot :P

as for the ute erection, bwhahahaha. i would have put it in the tray or something myself.

yesterday was cool, was watching my little boy riding his bike and got a quick snap of him. he loves that bike and wants to ride it every day. so glad i thought to buy it for him. the three wheeler it replaced was awful, the cranks were so short that he couldnt pedal it at all, only push it along. this one he can pedal and get up a little bit of speed on too.

I mentioned before that I spent December moving into a new house which has been eating up all my time. My only camera time was a half hour walk around the block. Still busy but I things are settling down so expect me at whorey best in the Jan thread ;)

Dude, more shots of that little man-made lake/recreational area at the front entrance to your estate should prove quite fruitful!

    • That is correct. I'm using a modified ABS ring and a ZF speed sensor on my rear diff for speed input. I'm running a Haltech ecu. 
    • Been busy with the newborn. We originally thought we were going to go for a third, but we're good with two lol. He's starting to actually sleep now so I've had some energy to work on the car. It's been parked away in the garage since late November due to winter.  I went ahead and redid all my head oil drains. I originally had my front and rear head drain going into the same pipe but have since split them up. I also added an Ethanol content sensor to get ready to run E85 this summer. Tossed it on my return line. Sensor sits nicely under my intake manifold.    I also have a lot of parts that came in for my rear end. I'll be swapping over to a 3.3 final drive and doing the GK teck anti squat mod. While the rear subframe is off, I'll also change every bushing. We're planning on buying another house soon with the condition that I get at a minimum a 2 door garage, so I'll wait to have more room for this. Now onto the strange things that recently happened... After changing the lower rad hose (It had been sitting in my cabinet for well over a year and was the last hose I had to replace), I let the car idle in the garage to bleed my coolant. After running for a few minutes, it started missing. Got much worst within a minute or two and then stalled and would not restart. My crank sensor decided to crap itself. No damage, no explanation, just died. I went ahead and replaced it with another ZF sensor but the heavier duty stainless model with a shield. Tossed that in and started right up. Has anyone else seen this? I hate when things fail without cause. Luckily this was a blessing in disguise... This lead me to recheck my timing. It seems I may have had a beer or two the last time I had set my TDC angle as I was off exactly 5 degrees... I miscounted a line haha. I was running 5 degrees less then commanded. It's a little embarrassing but helps explain why my dyno operator seemed to think I should be making more then 478rwkws.

The build list for R35 GTR enthusiasts as follow : HyperGear high flowed stock turbos in SS1 (G25-660 specs) Custom titanium intake pipes. Vspec performance titanium front pipes. Vspec performance 4" titanium exhaust. Upgrade fuel pumps. 1200cc injectors. Ignition coilpacks Hks intake plenum. Hks intercooler piping. Greddy intercooler. Greddy bovs. Top-secret coolant reservoir. Emtron ecu. Straight E85. Built gear box.  
    • Nah no bearings, just slip fit.  Would be a reasonably challenging but not impossible job to modify it to run bearings but I'm hoping that's not necessary as I may have well built one myself if I end up spending hours modifying it!
    • Brumbys with good shells are bloody expensive, I've looked at 2 "cheaper" cars, and walked away from both,  plus after some research spare parts are fairly sparce I'm starting to think that I missed the boat on finding a clean one that is straight (ish) and without alot rust I'm starting to think about a old Hilux as panels and other parts are much more available as they sold tens of thousands of them I use to be indecisive but now I'm not sure
