The first one with the guy in the car looks SICKKK :D

Would love to have a pic of me in my car like that lol

MattBoy coached me for hours beforehand to make sure I held the right Blue Steel look for the photoshoot :kiss:

Well I went to Phillip Island Circuit on July 2nd, there was the Alfa Romeo Sprint day plus a few other random cars. I managed to sweet talk the organiser of the event and scored a media pass, so I put my fluro vest on and snapped away.

There were a few GTR's too :) Gear used was a Canon 1D Mark IV and a 70-200 f/2.8 IS II

Took a heap of shots over the weekend at the Kenilworth MTB race, as well as a few of our dogs :) Sorry bout the bombardment!

First time shooting MTB so was definitely a challenge, especially with no flash lol

I like that front half of the crx. nice shot. good composition!

those mtb shots are cool. i thinka flash would have helped freeze that motion a bit more, if that's what you were going for. :)

another from friday night... R33 flavoured this time.

cheers matt, yeah I'm kicking myself, I forgot to charge camera batteries the night before so I charged em in the morning. Flash batteries didn't get enough charge though as I only have a trickle charger, had enough for a test shot and that was it lol. doh.

Awesome photos Matyboy worship.gif

best panning image so far. still need alot more practice or a new lens with IS

These two where having a good race in the end the R31 passed the R32 GTR.. R31 has a VQ35

Random shot on the way home

The more i use this kit 75-300mm lens the more i think it is too soft, so want a 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II. Donations welcome closedeyes.gif

would love to get the camera out further, i need a longer pole (thats what she said! lol)

Getting Vertigo from that! Great shot :) For some reason, I reckon this could look awesome if converted to B/W and with upped contrast. I also think it could be a great theme if you could get access to some 'darker' buildings that are more adventurous architecturally. If that makes sense.

Just a few from the weekend's Macquarie Pass Pie run; trying out my new 50mm F/1.8 G

cheers. i was considering b&w due to the lack of color in the pic, but im lazy, lol.

as for access to other buildings, most times i gain access by stealth so i dont get a lot of choice as to what rooftops i get onto, haha

Here's a shot from Friday night while out with Matt and Kory. I'm not too happy with it because my flashes wouldn't trigger via wireless for some reason, so the lighting could have been a fair bit better.

Hey everyone,

I got a brand new website up and running. Let me know what you all think.

Link: www.sidd-rishi.com.au

Cheers

Very nice Sidd. The separation between the Indian and Western weddings is interesting... I wonder if either group looks at your website when telling you what they want for their wedding, and maybe takes some ideas from the opposite side of the world, so to speak.

Nice one mate. Was this before or after the car locked itself? :happy:

I find the commander mode / remote flash irritating sometimes; as the sensor for the commander signal on the SB600 is on one side of the flash and if that happens to be on the opposite side to the camera taking the photo, you're a bit stuffed. It'll work indoors with a low ceiling but elsewhere (outdoors) I've found it trickier. Unless I'm missing something, maybe they should put a transparent window the whole way around the flash body, then all that would be needed is some reflective plastic to bounce the commander signal up into a sensor inside the flash.

Thanks mate, this was after the car locked itself.

My flashes have a base that can rotate 270deg so you can pretty much point the sensors wherever you need to and still bounce the flash in the intended direction. It's just that they wouldn't trigger. Oh well...

Hey Buddy!

Nice shots! Do you have any of a red 993 RSR that was there on the day - Reg plates RSR 94??

Thanks

    • 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.
