A Little Bit Of This & A Little Bit Of That :D - Random Photo's


Recommended Posts

Love the Drift R/Brembo and the twilight shot.

mmm... i love the original GTR and the gold brembo :(

Some wicked shots there Rob.

Damn i gotta get a decent camera and someone to show me what to do.

That stuff looks too hot!

Took me TOO long to type before you [NS2500] realised they were 4:3

While on the topic though Greg, I have always wondered why you put a frame around your pics? To dress them up? :)

Either way, both you guys always rollout some really top notch pics :P [for digital-era monkeys]

end :D

Greg has only just joined the digital Era!

Usually he takes all the pics on Film!!!!

And you reckon you get taken the wrong way Ash :P

AFAIK Greg has both types of camera and has for a while, in fact i think i read somewhere that he has several different cams including more than 1 digi...

Digital Era: when I studied photography [89-92], there were no digital cameras, now there are and have been for probably 5-10 years - at the consumer level.

I have a cheap-arse digital cam myself but my SLR [non-digital] is a FAR SUPERIOR camera.

Digital in most cases is just EASIER, hence the market boom - every idiot can use one - NO OFFENCE!

Keep it on topic Ash paaaaaaalease! :D

I still believe film is much nicer, if you can afford to use it. But digital is so much more economical:

Say I shoot 100 shots of film (typical event shoot)...

4 x 24 exp professional slide film - $30

Processing & mounting for 4 rolls - $50

That's $80 before I even begin to scan them to put them up on the web.

With digital, after the $2K outlay for a decent camera it costs NOTHING, so after 25 shoots I've paid off the camera and it's costing me nothing from then.

    • The new project has arrived. I have wanted one of these for such a long time, well before that meathead Clarkson drove one in Africa. I really wanted an E34 but I have some medical issues that mean I *really* can't bump my head and the lack of airbags in the E34 made it just too big of a risk.  I don't know why I've always liked these older touring BMW's to be honest, but man I love this car. She's been pretty well maintained for her 243k's with what appears to be only a single oil leak at the oil filter housing gasket. It has a bunch of updates including later model bumper and headlights, 7 series billion-way adjustable seats and it came with a few spares and another set of wheels with legal tyres. I got a unregistered car permit from the RTA and drove it back from Canberra on Saturday.                   First cab off the rank is cleaning it up for blue slip. I dont know how picky they'll be but I figured I'd clean the headlights, fix the oil filter housing gasket, replace the speed sensors (throwing errors) and swap the OE wheels (the M Sport wheels have a big chunk out of one of the tyres.) I also need to replace all 6 gas struts - 2 for bonnet, 2 for hatch and 2 for hatch glass. The car tries to eat me whenever i open any of these. My plan for this car; Ultimately, this is a budget car. I can't afford to throw lots at it and its because I have another car that I got this, if something breaks its no big deal. I will just maintain and repair it really. But eventually I want to do a manual conversion. It actually looks pretty straight forward for E39's and the trickiest part will be sourcing the parts.  I do need to replace some suspension arms or bushes because wow, she's a floaty old girl. She's also fantastically slow. Like really, really slow. When pulling back out on to the freeway on Sat after a quick pull over I needed to wait until no cars were visible before going.  Oh, and the guy I bought it from had a gorgeous R31 GTS-X in the garage. 
    • Do you have a picture? I assume it is a breather for gearbox oil as it expands, it should have a vacuum line run nice and high in the engine bay (R32 GTR has it on a top bellhousing bolt)
    • Hi all, I am putting an r33 gtst gearbox into a VL and have noticed what looks like a vacuum barb on the box (on top in the middle). Suspecting that it's a vacuum line but I'd like to double check, if someone could confirm the function of that would be great. Cheers in advance.
    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
