DARE350

Totally standard yeah, the additional body bits help the looks a lot and there's not much of an arch gap after putting on the front wheel spacers.

Yeah that sounds right, Tarmac Sportz on here is where I got them from.

Oh i'm still around, just forget to login usually. Thanks for all the comments, the car looks slightly better nowadays Nissan 350Z Front Lit in the Dark by HE is DARE, on Flickr

Cheers Dave, I do like how the red rims on the wheels look on that one. The camera is a D7100 and the lens was a 35mm prime for those.

Hey I love the feedback and critique, I can't imagine anyone thinks they've taken the perfect photo I think I will stop plastering the watermark for sure, some small simple text should do the job. It's funny the decisions you make just because you've seen others doing something without thinking it over for yourself. After getting them online I noticed the reflections and the power lines on those landscape shots are an annoying distraction, will try to touch them out Thanks for the support, will be a long term thing getting the design business together but I don't see myself doing anything else so it kinda has to work!

Thanks for all the comments, I am really happy with the look of the car for now and the parts from Tarmac have completed the vision I had for it. Definitely nice to get confirmation that the guys on here who see some stunning 350s every day can appreciate it too You're 100% right on that, especially when it comes to the angled shots rather than just side on. Thanks for the tip! Yeah I invested in a decent camera and the long game is to work on professional projects under the freelance design name. I have actually been rethinking my approach on the watermark because I know it takes away from the images, it's just hard to work out a way to get the content online looking its best whilst also keeping a link back to me just in case someone wants to get in contact.

I recently explored a few locations close to where I live to try and find some good spots for car photography. As well as loving getting some proper photos of my 350Z, I also need proof of what I can offer as I start up a freelance design & photography business. But yeah these are the results where I just used available light rather than any big rig set ups, hope they go down well on here 03 Graffiti Rear Quarters DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 03 Graffiti Front Angle DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 03 Engine Bay Shopped DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 02Floodlit Side On DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 02 Floodlit Forward DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 01 Howarth Side On DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr 03 Graffiti zHDR DB by HE is DARE, on Flickr Plenty more on my Flickr if anyone's interested and click the thumbnails for the high res!

See I consider myself quite a friendly guy but now I think I've made a crucial mistake. On my way back from the gym in a morning I pass at least one Z coming the other way. I was so excited to see a stunning black 370 on the country road that I flashed and waved. The thing is though I now pass it every morning because I take that route at the same time each day. Which leaves me with the problem of what to do each time we pass. Surely I can't keep flashing each morning, in fact already it's dwindled to a nod of recognition and then attempts to make myself look busy already. What would you do in my situation? I don't want this strange relationship to worsen, can't really change my route home as the road is so fun to drive, and I don't want to change my car!

Pretty strange wording in that article "The driver of a Nissan 350Z and a pedestrian collided", almost like they were both on foot and travelling at speed...

For a relative beginner i'd say the kit lens, usually 18-55, is more than capable. The below are all taken on an old Nikon D40 with that lens, but now I have 200 and 300mm zoom lenses with my Nikon D7100 along with the experience i've gained so hoping to get much better results. Really need to look in to getting either a 30something prime or the 50mm that people have mentioned, very interesting to read the views on those by people that use them.

Going to have to try this myself, the bonnet has grown a pimple in a very obvious place. Fortunately I bought my car with FNSH and live pretty close to Preston (not that I think individual dealerships should differ), hoping I can get a similar outcome and i'll make sure to update here on how it goes.

Thanks guys, I might lower it slightly in the future but good to hear that it's looking suitable as it is for the time being. Haha so i'm not the first I'm going to invest in some splitters/spoilers and have them all in black that should tie together the colour combination, as well as colouring the calipers red I think. Fortunately this thing isn't lacking on power so I don't feel bad adding to the looks first.

Had the 350z for just over 2 months now and I wasn't happy that it was still pretty much standard spec so I decided the biggest change will come from fitting some new wheels. After a quick chat with Chris at Tarmac Sportz at the start of the year I had the exact set in the exact sizes that I wanted (that other suppliers couldn't match) on their way to me along with all new rubber. I decided to keep the staggered sizes and focus on function rather than form as I've made that mistake on previous cars, so these are Rota Torque Drifts, 18" 8.5/9.5 with I think et30 and et12 offsets. The rears especially look staggering and have added a much more powerful stance to the car. Future plans will help to tie together the colour scheme and I should hopefully end up with it looking track ready. The result keeps impressing me every time I look out the window and I had to take my camera along for a quick drive at lunch so that I could capture them in the best condition they'll ever be in. So here's the photos, quality greatly reduced by Photobucket, and I hope they go down well

Thanks guys, To be honest she's pretty much house trained through the day and 80% of the time goes to the back door, it's just overnight where she seems to have stockpiled her business to display it in time for us getting up. I know that expecting her to hold it all when she's this young isn't realistic though. She is great fun to watch and it scares me how intelligent and inquisitive she is at times - watching TV and using tactics to get treats out of her toys (Kong).
