woah Sidd, nice moody one! like!

you should turn that into one of those 360 planet pics man. it would look awesome. all water, then just an island popping off the top! DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

u should use some of your pc/interweb skillz for some extra cash on the side man. good luck with getting this job though!

only problem is the lack of water under the rocks i was standing on to take the pic. might give it a try, but for it to work properly i reckon i'd need to be on a boat a few meters out?

also never tried a 'little planet' shot with a pano and not sure that it will work on that kind of format. guess i'll find out tho.

as for computing work... if i had time to do the night job as well as some side work and still have time to spend with the family and kids it would be a possibility, but im not sure how well it would work out in reality. im still trying to get used to the idea that i have to sleep through the day and not sure if i will even get to see the kids due to my start/finish times. but thats the challenge of modern life tho, lol.

didnt quite work out. i reckon the horizon is too wonky as it doesnt meet up after applying polar coordinates (was a fair way off) and i dont have the skills to shop it into shape, lol.

Jay - Thats awesome dude. Now take the next step further and get a hot ballon with gps system and send it off to the outer atomsphere. I remember a guy on the potn forums doing it. Looked incredible. Offcourse a bit of planning and spending a little bit on gear. But awesome idea. How did you trigger the gopro? Or is there a setting to take a pic at a set interval?

There was a jdmst eomm yesterday? damn.. didnt even see it. That bmw looks nice :)

yeah just had it on picture every 2 seconds. the cam was heaps unstable and swung around quite a bit, but with the law of averages and all out of 400 odd shots there were a handfull that actually worked out, lol.

as for hot air balloon, gps and all... way too expensive. broke the bank buying a spare SD card at only $8 to take the kite pics, haha. would be fun, but yeah i have to work with what i have. gonna try and get this set up a bit more stable. learnt a few things while watching it in action and have a couple of ideas to try to get a better 'keeper' rate than the current methods. oh and some crazier locations in future. like, off the side of cliffs, ends of jetties etc. if you have any ideas of cool places to take kite pics im all ears :D

Apart from the sky in the beamer shot, they're all great shots nick. Improving you are. Strong with Tue force you are.

Nice idea j. Love the curvature

Thanks man! Ah crap, I just noticed how pixelated the sky looks in that shot... :( Let's pretend I'm being surrealistic, mmmkay?

Yep, and was very close to home for me, so I went along. It was MASSIVELY packed, so many cars! The original meeting spot fell through, and it was a bigger venue too.

And yeah,the car is nice - he's only had it about a week and it needs a few bits and pieces fixed and/or cleaned up, and he wants to change the wheels. He's also got an E30 Alpina that he's owned for about 15yrs that's been off the road for at least half of that - I've been bugging him to get it going again to take it out for a drive and a photo shoot.

will have to see what is around. things i forgot you have to take into consideration are both the position of the sun and also the direction of the wind. makes planning shots a bit more of a challenge

      Rv37 400r questions

      By elir32 · Posted

      Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance

      Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened.

      R34 GTT Battery Relocation To Trunk

      By NZ-GTT · Posted

      I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
