Also better to take your old empty can or a close up picture of its collar where its groove get locked in.

Most cartridges are universal no matter what terms and terminology these company uses or advertised. Every supermarket (lulu, spinneys, choithram, carrefour) sell these so buy 1 can to experiment or return it.

And lot more to come every week.

What you and I are talking slightly different meaning of redline here. I meant for rev limiter while driving especially in offroad while pushing car in first gear to climb. I have no clue in parking gear. Secondly if tachometer is having redline starts at 5, than 5500 rpm is ideally acceptable.

And 90 out of 100 offroaders miss on these basic ingredients and keep strapping ton of mods (mostly wrong ones) or keep changing vehicle for that unicorn who can climb moreeb from standstill.

I had a 2006 Patrol, but SWB that comes with 4.5 litre engine than 4.8. Best I recall there was no cut off at 5500 or else i would be more furious to drive, as I had that car for 2 years as a desert toy. Better to check this with Nissan if it's TRUE than trusting odd garages. Also most cars have rev limiter at 6500 or 7000 rpm just before the redline in tachometer starts, that's normal to protect the engine.

Thanks Sam, for great advises, will try our best to experiment as much as we can. Surely we will have many more such drives and once we experiment this first one, we might open to all cars to just join us for action shots even if they arent photographers.

This is what I have in my mind boys and girls, to keep the mindset ready and what to expect on that day. Action Shots: Camera 1 - Will focus on entry shots, usually with bumps or two tires in air. Camera 2 and 3 - Will focus on sand splashing shots while doing sideys - front and back of each car. Camera 4 - Will focus on exit shots with sand rolling from back or simply scenic shot with tall dune in the background. Non-action shots: Car close up shots Driver on wheel Group shots Scenic composition Creative experiments @Thomas Varghese will try and experiment with whatever we have and I'm sure in end everyone will have fun.

Thanks Thomas for your tips. I'm still beginner from many years and still passionate to learn more to explore. My last best friend is Auto mode. I know many hate it or laugh but that saved me many times when I'm not getting the results that I'm after. My passion for photography revolves around doing something different, capturing unique moments (fast, macro, etc.), magnifying the beauty of any sport, object, plant or animals.

Very nice and easy to understand video @Frederic.

Thank you @Ben84 @varunmehndiratta @Gilbert Khalil @Mohamad Anwer @Chinthaka Ruwan @Richard Franks @Veedooshee and @Nathan Evans for joining this passion play drive. May I know the choice of camera and lens you will be carrying for this drive? So that I can split the convoy into two balanced parts to have plenty of action shots for each car. Just to share my previous experience, action shots with crisp quality need a faster camera and stabilize lens (VR kind). The more closer we position ourselves to the cars better will be the resulting sharpness. Something like 40-50 meters than 200-300 meters. Using the viewfinder (not live view) and fastest-finger-first is the only recipe (I know) for great shots to click at the perfectly right time. A faster camera can click multiple full-res shots quickly (not burst preferably, as it loses quality). We don't have to use a tripod for daylight shots, but you can if you prefer. At all times your camera lens will be chasing the car and waiting for the perfect action shot so flexibility in moving your hand, neck and body is prime. @Mikhail Lukichev @Frederic @Lorenzo Candelpergher @samamara @Mario Cornejo do you advise any advance photography tips to get the most out of this drive?

Thanks, @Frederic (The Data God) to show the importance of maintaining crisp data to identify the real superstars. It's a brilliant idea to acknowledge the dedicated team players to highlight their valued contribution behind this big swiss-clock (Lorenzo TM) like a precision week after week. WELL DONE and Congratulations to @Ale Vallecchi @Lorenzo Candelpergher @Wrangeld @Brette @Chaitanya D @Islam Soliman @Anish S @Jeepie @MUHAMMAD Kashif RAZZAQ @Alex Raptor and @Hisham Masaad for being the first Carnity Superstars and to lead with an example at any level, role or terrain you venture. Keep it up. 👏 It's a dream of many to reach such heights by realizing the importance of teamwork and efforts that each one of you has consistently contributed to the success of the Carnity Off-road Club. Thank you for your continuous support and love for off-roading, helping others and making off-roading more exciting, meaningful, thrilling and yet safe with your creative touches.

Whatever you do, stay away from replica wheels, as they will pop out and difficult to fix those pop outs that will frustrate you more to use spare tire on most pop outs. Stay with OEM (new or used) or branded good quality wheels for better peace of mind.

Many happy returns of your birthday @Asif Hussain. Have a best birthday ever with good health and life.
