First, some pics from back in April:

Easily the best night we've been there in our entire time here.
Oodles of rad cars, chill bozos, drifting, no cops, etc

Nice 180. Ugly wheels, but I kinda dig that front bumper.

Same Z80 that's showed up on a few previous occasions.

This is the only 'box' I'd roll in. No Donk or Bubble here. I'd rock it (even with the L28 it had)

Note to self: R31s and slamming maybe isn't such a great combo.

Yay Bozos! Boo stabbing! (just kidding, the didn't stab me. A few of them did some wheelies.)

...and you thought you had some big wide wheels. :keke: Gooo ESTIMA!

This 14 was rad. He did much of the drifting that occurred last night.

These 2 didn't actually know each other. The passenger in the S13 spoke english. yay!

We hung around this dude's Bluebird for awhile. It was pretty nice (for a 4door). L18 bored/stroked to 2.0L, damn near tucking 13s. He was balancing the carbs when we came up. Old skool.

Then his friend showed up with a nice 2 door.

Way more recently (like last weekend)

Some fuckers took my Chaser out! (I don't really have a Chaser... I'd love to have one though.)

[yarou]

Shit, love the skylines. <3 the sakura mesh

[BOROSUN]

luv that red hakosuka.

was there any vip style w124 benz

[musikjunkie]

i think the Ken and Mary skyline? with the cherry blossums is one the nicest things i have seen in a long time

[kdashy]

Nice nice nice!

What kind of hardware you using?

[84GTSR5]

The Z33 looks Like an Aston Martin From the Font and a Porshe from the rear.
The white 2door Bluebird is Hawt.

[fliprayzin240sx]

So you still havent told me what settings you used to take those shots!!!

goodness gracious! LED mania!

[adrians_s13]

wooooooooooooooooooooooooow

[mrmephistopheles]

Me too. Maybe. I don't really concern myself with Benzos unless they're CRAZY nice.

i think the Ken and Mary skyline? with the cherry blossums is one the nicest things i have seen in a long time

Yeah that's a Kenmeri.

Nice nice nice!

What kind of hardware you using?

Canon 20D, Velbon tripod
Canon 17-85 IS, Canon 28-135 IS, and Canon 70-200 f2.8L IS

99% of those shots are the 17-85.

Here's one from the 70-200.

I thought it was a A-M at first, except the hood was weird, then I walked around to the back and noticed the Porsche tails. I only figured it out when I looked inside the hatch at the big fat "Z" on the rear strut brace. I thought it was an exceedingly clean and tasteful conversion (unlike most of the crap conversions out there).

So you still havent told me what settings you used to take those shots!!!

Yes I did (somewhere).

ISO 100
f/8 (or more depending on how I want the lights in the background to look)
anywhere from 15-60 seconds to get proper exposure.
Postprocessing with Photoshop CS3 (usually just tonal balancing, slight saturation bump and sharpening).

Haha, I looked at that Z33 and said the exact same thing! Looks hot though. I'm def digging the old school Z's and Skylines, brings me back...sigh to my old 280Z :(

[gunluvS14]

CHERRY BLOSSOMS!!!!!

i want an old skool dammit

[yokotas13]

im sooo buying one of those

[DOOK]

i now understand why you have some wheel fitment skills grant, all those mother fuckers look so nice.

[jrocslider]

i bet those cherry blossoms are ridiculously expensive (for an old sckool 15 inch wheel) cause i've seen prices on sum sets that sell here

this thread makes wanna go get a datsun 1600, 2000, or a 510

[FinalDrive]

cool pictures
have any more of the bikes?

[mrmephistopheles]

That set is worth more than most S13s.

Nah. They don't come out all that often. The bosozoku have really been hounded by the police in the past few years, so they don't gather often.

haha yeah i figured.

[kdashy]

ISO 100
f/8 (or more depending on how I want the lights in the background to look)

I figured as much, the pics are tack sharp with zero noise.

[OptionZero]

that aston/porsche z33 is...

man i dont even know what word to use

[ThePenIsMightier]

ugly? tacky?

[OptionZero]

it could be so tacky, so ugly, that its cool

but only if it were lower with better wheels

[Bushido]

always wondered if kouki 180sx grills and signal lights would work in a vertex bumper... that is what it is, right?

[pinkarrowsnow]

Those are some nice old school cars.

[mrmephistopheles]

Well, there's SOME noise. Noise is inherent in any dark shooting situation.

Maybe? I don't know aero as well as most people.

[Feint Of Heart]

Pictures look great! I love the ones of the old school cars. Makes me wish I could find a 510..

Thanks for posting them!

[oldschoolsilvia]

[Antihero983]

[liv2drift045]

that car is fuckkiinnnn siccckkkk... and i would be too if i would actually kill someone for a car( im too big of a bitch to kill anyone without a good reason)

[Lordrandall]

Damn, crazy Z33 conversion

[mrmephistopheles]

i'll get you some pics of my a31 with new aero and paint in a few months right kev.... *nudge nudge*
