I must visit adelaide. All this talk of "radaelaide" has got me thinking.. is it rad?

Jay - Don't meet up with Matt. You'll find yourself bored to death.......... All he talks about is how good he is at photography and taught himself off the net within 3 hours. Kidding.

Good to see your still going strong with project 365!

I can vouch for Kory's statement, re: Matt. See, it's even lead to Kory making unintentional double-posts!

Pro-tip: bring earplugs, and don't be embarrassed to break out the bright yellow, industrial-use ear-muffs if you need to...

:P

thanks eric. it's my phone wallpaper. quite a good effort for an impromtu edit :P

A couple of aggro's r34

Very nice. Damn I wish I could think of nicer places to take photos, I'm limited in the small city i live in haha. Some nice locations and photos in this thread :)

if it wasn't a constant challenge it wouldn't be constantly rewarding. rome wasn't built in a day and no one on here, except maybe J :P , was a gun from day one.

Wise words. Yeah I know it will take time, in the mean time I like seeing everyones photos and getting ideas from them :)

not this J surely? ive still got a lot to learn ;)

for example...

trying to find good angles for shots of bikes. so many things to consider, like angle of wheels and where the heck do you sit the pedals and cranks??? lol

also shot this one of my step son on his new bike this evening...

i had to stop at the bottom of all the hills to wait for him, even though I didnt pedal at all, just rolling. good to see he likes to take it easy, not like me, haha.

Nice bike. I have a similar frame. Jumper. It's basically a cruiser with gears, which suits me and my bmx banditry heritage ;) I should post up a pic or 2 of my other ride for you ;)

Until then, here's the 2nd from the wrx set I'm working on.

Nice shots. Now i see what you were trying to explain to me on the phone hahaha. You totes did some masking though didnt you :) Bottom right of the front bar, the road is really light compared to the rest of it. Good idea, i like it :) Sweet rex too! The only model i like.

I don't think he can resist lol. He probably sprayed it there himeself :P

no, i cant resist. when i saw the pic on the screen and noticed the graff I was praying it worked out, lol.

and lol, i only spray in tunnels where the world doesnt have to put up with my lack of skills :P

nice set, would have been nice if you could have brought some detail out on the wheels though.

i'll pay that key shot. that's great man. finally something new here :D haha good work.

Haha cheersman, yeh I was having difficulty showing the wheels so I just left it lol. Still practising though. The key shot is my favourite hehe

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
