Top Secret prep'd BNR34... - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

BenLinney@GTC · 30th May 2004, 08:55 PM

A few pics of the 34 that i think i'm gonna have to keep for myself. She came over pretty much like this from Japan, but have a load of goodies on order with Top Secret.

I like black pearl, but she was a nightmare to photograph

..any tips Dino ?

Thanks has to go to the previous owner (who i didn't manage to track down) who must have spent a fair bit with Chiba-pref finest setting up for fast road & track use. Not as tuned as Gio's and Dave's stunners but will work on that..

Currently being managed by a Competizion Rom, going to see what that's doing may replace with an F-Con.

Try a polarising filter. Rotate it slowly until you you find the angle that cuts down the most reflection.

Very nice car BTW

WOW mate that is proper NICE!!!!!

How much would a set of them wheels cost me in 17"

Demon Dave · 30th May 2004, 10:12 PM

Very Nice Ben

Got your self a proper monster there...and many a hour of washing and waxing

Black cars aren't that hard to photograph....keeping them clean on the other hand is a major pain in the arm

As Bassman said try using a polarizing filter. I also found that taking pictures in the shade, or on overcast days produced better results that bright sunlight...

spoiler doesn't do much for me but apart from that very tasty mate

Absolutely beautiful car.

You refer to Dave BenL, who is he?

DCD · 31st May 2004, 02:07 AM

What a beast of a car!!

I think what was causing the problem in the pix was the overcast day rather than the color of the car. Circular polarizers are only really effective on sunny days...just try to underexpose a little bit until you get better detail. If you think black cars are hard...try white ones....on cloudy days!

Nice one Ben

Good choice

knight · 31st May 2004, 08:34 AM

Lend me the car for a month or so, and I'll see if I can take some nice photos of it

-C- · 31st May 2004, 08:39 AM

Looks stunning!

hipogtr · 31st May 2004, 12:29 PM

Sweet motor, Ben. Looks super tough - great find.

You definitely can't go wrong with the FCon V Pro, as long as you can find someone reliable to tune it. Go AFM-less for more grunt.

Cya O!

Very nice Ben, looks an absolute beast...

Is this the same R34 I saw in the yard at Motormall a couple of weeks ago, awaiting preparation?
