I would start soft front and stiff rear and see how you like it. It will be easy enough to adjust if you need to.

Christian, noice 50mm, which brand and how much$? I had a chance to shoot with a 50mm and it's on my list. No worries on the blurry first shot, it's meant to shoot close ups.

IIRC he got this lens, also gives an idea of what it cost: Nikon AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.4G Autofocus Lens 2180 B&H Photo

Hey thanks Skeeterbop, you just sunk me more into debt.....j/k I think there is a Canon 50 mm for around $100 to fit my 50D. Of course no where near the quality of the Nikon.

Ok, so what I did with my Z today:

Drove a few miles to work.

Drove to dinner after work.

Read 11 pages on the 2012 model with oil cooler, just to find out the thread was closed tonight. So kudos to Steve, Red, Ken, Spear...thanks guys I was thinking of 25 row but will go with 19 row from Z1.

Oh...and onzedge...save the date, sometime in Dec I am invading your garage with two 370Z's for Talyor and Colin to install the oil coolers. And I expect to be fed, since I fed them the last couple of days...haha

Was able to fit 2 medium sized luggages in the trunk of the Z. I thought it wouldn't fit, but glad it does. That'll save me form having to ask the GF to drive her Corolla and save me some teasing. Kauai here we come tomorrow!

Nice shots Christian! Your Z flows really well with the Ings + Swift!

Tell me: how's the Swift drop been with regards to the FI cans getting scraped? Have you had any issues?

kenchan · 10-13-2011, 07:11 AM

Christian- nice shots!

Alchemy- ull probably like mid/mid better.

We will see. The rear has only 2 settings. I think I def want the stiff one there. The front is where Im a little iffy. It'll end up being soft or mid Im sure. Im gonna have to to some experimenting.

yah, you might need aftermarket endlinks if you use a real stiff setting. the THK's dont last too long.

(starts to rattle at low speed on uneven surfaces).
