RAW files enable you to edit the photos without any loss in quality. Every time you edit JPEGs, you diminish the quality of the picture slightly.
^^^This! Most of the time I am shooting S or A. I usually shoot full manual in ultra low light situations or shooting indoor sports like Volleyball (in poorly lighted locations).

My Z32TT drones a bit but usually only gives me a headache after an hour or so.

Awesome, best of luck with your build and we will be anxiously watching the updates!


Here is my update: Sorry, no pics today. My evening didn't go as planned and I didn't get anywhere near the laptop. Spent the entire day with the car. Tires mounted in the morning, went home and installed the rear camber arms, hit my buddies shop just before his lunch. Sooo, I took him and one of his guys out for lunch before we got start. Got to be in the pit and help with the alignment. Long story short, car feel perfect. Rear camber is at -2.3 and toe is .1 both sides. One thing that was almost immediately apparent... the VDC is much less obnoxious with a little bit of grip.

Going to be a busy day at work so I probably won't be on much. Hope everyone has a great Z Day! Oh, just found out that Bryan Settle (from ZDayZ) will be in the area for our next Cars and Coffee Williamsburg and is planning to come out if he can swing it.

No fear, Ken! My gf and I just came back from Houston over a week ago for vacation and visiting her parents, and now it's time for the Z to visit Houston... Baker Nissan!

Definitely happy to join the TT club soon... it will only be the 400whp club, though. HA! Like your Z32, I'm hoping to get back some of the old feeling with this car with the turbos. When I sat in Baker Nissan's Silvia, the gritty turbocharged engine felt so good.

RU going to do the lower manifold at the same time?
Thank you! I'm putting together a before and after video. It will consist of dyno footage from Baker, engine start and rev, casual acceleration, 3rd gear pull 50-80 MPH, and 1-3rd to 80 MPH. It's not quite pushing it, but hopefully it's enough to capture the differences in feeling. I originally wanted to use two cameras to get exterior and tach footage for a video overlay, but didn't have the time or have the tools to do it.

Unfortunately, no VR38 lower manifold. I haven't heard anything from Mike or GTM about their progress. Knowing that it involves custom fuel rails, it's best to wait until this kit matures far out of the beta stage. Someday, though... I'll keep my plenum as a wall decoration or something.
