if you want to make it easier to function in manual mode make sure to set your custom shortcuts

at first i was going through all the menus just to change iso etc.
but after setting custom shortcuts it made it a lot easier/faster

Sorry, for the slow response. Thanks for the heads up on the shortcuts. I read on DPreview that they did the same thing and said to do it first thing :tup:

I do want to try a CPL also. Ive become accustomed to over exposed, to bright shots i think.

I'm an avid photographer..But I'm going to hold myself back from straying from the thread!

Today I stared at my stock Z and pondered the exhaust I want to put on it....

Oh the agony!

BeachZTT 07-29-2011 04:34 PM

You are to be commended for your restraint, Nick. :tup:


I am in need of making a desicion about my exhaust too. Probably that last mod for me for a while on the Roadster. Need to switch projects and get a few things done on the TT...

One word -- Berk

Nick911sc 07-29-2011 04:38 PM

I think I'm going to end up with the Invidia Gemini(I've contemplated berk) and some HFC's. Now we gotta see how long it takes me to actually order them as I'm saving for a house

Are you talking about an Audi TT or that 300ZX in your sig?

I dream of getting a 300ZX TT and modding the **** out of it

doublea2527 07-29-2011 04:42 PM

Got my car back from the body shop. A day early at that. Man I missed my baby.

Nick911sc 07-29-2011 04:43 PM

Get off of the forum and go drive!

Yep, the TT in my sig. It's a whole different animal. I have had it since 2001 and the drive train is pretty much done. I just need to do brakes and suspension... but I keep spending my toy budget on the roadster. :eekdance:

Hummm....I guess it depends on how cloudy then. Last time I tried it in the cloudy light my car came out under exposed. Probably can do +0.7EV on my camera. :p

Has to do with your metering setting too and trial and error. :)

Lol photography is hot in this thread right now, and most of us are into it. I dont think a little of your expertise would be found offensive by anyone :)

I don't know what you're talking about:eek:

http://i52.tinypic.com/4jq2o1.jpg

I'm going to have some aluminim welded onto the bottom of the canister to take the beating from dips/scrapes/speed bumps. I scraped it 3 times driving 20 minutes back to my house :ugh2:

Haha, I know...I know... I've never liked the idea of a single with a dual exit bumper. Idealy, I'd like to have the diffuser filled in on that side, but I have other priorities for dumping money into the car i.e. getting it running right.

I absolutely LOVED the look/sound of my old HKS exhaust, but I wanted a bit louder/deeper exhaust tone. This thing sounds FANTASTIC! PLus, it's lighter:tup:

cptspeed 07-29-2011 08:51 PM

I think armadillos everywhere are shakin in their boots! Looks good bro.

happytheman 07-29-2011 09:08 PM

Looks so schmexy 98! Sorry that you gotta deal with the scraping though. Absolutely no speed bumps in your future my friend!

I am one of the coordinators for Cars and Coffee Williamsburg. We hold our events on the third Saturday of every month a the Williamsburg Winery. This month is our one year "birthday" and several groups caravaning in from different parts of the region. I think we are going to have big groups from Richmond and NoVA.

Let me know if you are in these areas and i will put you in touch with someone to roll with! :driving:

Ken that looks sweet. I like that exhaust. I will have to listen to sound clips now ;)






So I am back home, after helping a buddy out with buffing his C6 hood. We did Menz PO203 and PO106 via Flex orange and gray pads. Then PC for CG EZ Creme (blue pad) and Jetseal 109 (red pad). All this after staying up till midnight last night applying Jetseal to my Z.... whooo I am tired :(

Then when I got home today, I finished applying CG 50/50 on Zena. Figured I'd take a break from Supernatural.

Btw, here I am at 6 am this morning applying EZ creme, post paint correction already.

http://www.the370z.com/attachments/n...y-imag0051.jpg

I wasn't able to bring my DSLR, so no nice pics of the Vette. This is just a crappy cell phone pic :( sorry. We have a meet later and tomorrow that I'll take nicer shots of the whole corrected C6.... it looks stunning in that wine color.

kenchan 07-30-2011 10:45 AM

G2Z- looking good! Busy guy with early start. :tup:

Here's the sample link for the fujimura site.

RocketDancerExhaustSystem

Motored the Z this am followed by a quick photoshoot to try raw files in my PSE.
Was a great drive! I really needed this. :p QD'ed afterwards and cleaned the inside glass too. :)

I did find that my USB wasn't playing on my pioneer...yet again another thing I need to diagnose on the HU.:ugh2: i really don't want to spend more money on this car and just enjoy it.

Fire 07-30-2011 10:48 AM

Props for the cell pic From. Even if you did slide in the DSLR. Real men use crappy cams LOL:stirthepot: Lookin to setup an appointment to have my car detailed, the wind deflector tinted and those mysterious mars on my paint buffed out. I noticed them at Carlisle last year and don't know if they happened ther or at the dealer. I had just bought the car and drove it there last year. The mar is to the left side of the trunk and both sides of the antenna but not on the antenna. I blame aliens.:facepalm:

kenchan 07-30-2011 11:19 AM

fire- is that like a scuff or more like histograms? :icon14: those are ghostly for detailers. :D

ok, so it looks like my tiny USB drive is dead... :ugh2: my HU was able to play other drives. ive only had that thing for like a year and it dies. thanks made in china. :rolleyes:

Fire 07-30-2011 11:23 AM

The one on the left actually has a black mar to it. The other two just look like marks that could be buffed out. I don't have a buffer so I cannot do it myself. And props to you Ken for no camera remarks LOL:tup:
