great shots overall, i <3 #2, wish the mirror hadn't been clipped off but that's my only gripe, lighting looks perfect. i've been looking for a 40th to shoot in my area but haven't seen anyone chime in with one (if you read this and are in NC or SC and have one, shoot me a pm!!)

I love your eye. The wide angle lens doesn't hurt either Great find on that parking garage. I too love them, but I've never come across one with fluorescent lighting or such vibrant colors! You frame a shot wonderfully.
I'm an amateur photographer and will be posting more pics as I take them. Feel free to add your two cents. Adam |

Thanks guys. I deliberately didn't want the entire mirror in the pic because I was drawing attention to the tail light and 370 emblem. Notice those were in the bottom right rule of thirds. I should have taken a wider shot of that afterward. Yes, I do weddings, portraits, events and commercial...I don't shoot cars nearly as much as I'd like though.

i hear ya but i don't think it would have taken anything away from the focus of the picture, inversely, it catches my eye that the mirror is clipped off from an artistic standpoint. i shot a similar pic of a 370 nismo last year, i'll post it up in a min so you can see what i'm talking about
this is my prefered angle of view: http://jpmcgphotography.smugmug.com/...88411225_xfGLJ different strokes for different folks tho so do what you like

I installed the Stillen Gen3 CAI on Thursday.
Before: After: Also, I did a post-break-in oil change Friday night. Now running Amsoil, K&N oil filter, and Filter Mag at just over 2100 km. ERZ HFC and Invidia Gemini CBE install next week. Can't wait...

Congrats on your new ride, looks awesome. Nice photos too. Ever thought of de-badging the car? I de-badge all my cars and think it looks much cleaner. The 370Z looks great without the badges.

Congrats! I see you also changed the oil ;-)
Was it as easy as I told you it would be? BTW, buff off the fingerprints & smudges on those chrome intakes :-))

Thanks guys!

My floor jack is just a standard one...it's heavy (80+ lbs) but heavy duty, and I have a pinch weld adapter sitting on it. I need the front wheels on 2x4s to be able to get underneath the rocker panel. I also bought an aluminum racing jack (26 lbs) yesterday just in case I needed it. Nice, but not sure if I'll keep it. I suppose if I lower the car with springs or coilovers, I'll likely need the racing jack. From another thread on this forum, I tried supporting the weight of the car with a jack stand and hockey puck too. I was worried the puck might deform badly but surprisingly it worked well. What I really need is to replace my old rusting metal ramp with one of these 67" XT 2-piece Race Ramps: 67" XT Ramps - Car Ramps | Get your Car Up 10"! | RaceRamps.com your best solution for Lightweight Car Ramps! That's a lot of coin man! Oh, those intakes are polished, not chrome. There are a few scratches from the install, but I did wipe them down with rubbing alcohol afterwards to get my grubby fingerprints off of them before they get hot and the imprints are on permanently. I took the picture before they were wiped down. Now stop noticing all the little imperfect details. ;-)
