Last week's winner, Dead_Poetic, provides the theme:

2JZ versus RB.
RWD versus AWD.
This week's clash is the epic battle between
the twin-turbo Japanese supercars.

To clarify, all entries must have those two above qualities
(the proper engine and drivetrain). So R31-32 RWD models
are not applicable this week. Also, the only racing model from
either side that is allowed is the Falken GT-R.

All, Photo Travel included.

There will be two polls at the beginning of every week.
Each poll will have a top ten for that "competitor".
These polls will last for five days.
A final poll containing the winners from both polls will last 2 days.
You must post your final entry in red letters, ex. “Final Entry”.
Previews may be used, but may be no bigger than 300*400 pixels.
You may have two HM's if a preview image is not used.
You may change your Final Entry once (make it clear you did).
Edit out your original entry, or make it clear it is no longer "Final".
Do not use an entry from a previous competition.
Only one entry may be submitted, and it must be uploaded using Imageshack.
Photoshop adjustments and filters:

Crop, Resize, Levels,
Brightness/Contrast, Hue/Saturation,
Blur filters, Noise filters, Sharpen filters
Tools:
Type tool, Sharpen tool, Burn tool,
Dodge Tool, Blur tool, Smudge tool,

For simplicity this week, no rim enlarging or multi-image shots.

Coulda swore R31-R32 had RWD....

yup they do. the R31 was a RWD, and the R32's came out in a model called the GTS and the GTS-t. and they all came in rear wheel drive, with a RB20 (N/A spec for the GTS) motor. not so sure about the R31 though.
 
So, I conclude this will be a competition between the Mk IV Supra RZ (the SZ-R don't have turbo) & all the AWD Skyline GT-R since R32 to R34. What about the JGTC versions (both Supra & Skyline are FR & Turbo)? I don't know much about JGTC but I believe they were also rivals here, that's why I think it would be nice to keep them.
 
D_P, thank you so much bro, my favorit car (Supra off course :trouble)

This is gonna be one hell of a picture battle 👍

Unfortunately, not the case. All Skylines as you said were RWD in JGTC, and none of the Supras available in the game ever used the 2JZ (early models used another version of the Celica WRC's 2.0L I4, actually, while the WoodOne uses a V8). Therefore, the only racing model allowed for use this week is the Falken. The Amuse R1 and GT-R LM Road are out (the 4WD is gone), but as far as I know, the Mine's and Nismo cars are all still fair game.

I've clarified the rules in the first post. This also means that George Morley and jdga9rs must change their entries. Sorry guys!
 
one thing, that Falken Skyline R34 is in fact a 4WD. so, if the Falken Supra's are allowed to enter as you said, then why not the Falken GT-R ? and i don't think there's a Falken Toyota Supra in the game is there? were you talking about the skyline ? coz if u are, then that just makes my entry legitimate since it's 4WD. the carbon R isn't though. but then the main focus of the pic is the Falken.

bah what the heck. i'll change it anyways
 
Sorry bud, but you're right about everything :lol:. The Falken's legal yeah (and sorry about being vague, I definitely didn't mean there's a Falken Supra!), but the Amuse is not. So yeah, you will have to change it, but as VR6 said, you have until the 24th, so that's a good chunk of time :)

I think I'm going to take the challenge of the Supra this week (seeing as how we're all stuck with a single model)
 
really? i don't even know which one to go with now really. maybe i'll just re-do the Falken without the Amuse. i don't know. lots of time though.
 
I'm totally agree with jgda9rs. I don't see why he have to change his entry unless the restrictions are valid for the background cars too.

Don't you think this week theme amusingly looks like a mortal fight between a lone samurai (Supra RZ) against a whole army (Skyline R32, R33, R34, NISMO, Mine's, etc)? :) I think I'll support the samurai this week...
 
Well, I think that's a pretty interesting aspect of this week, whether D_P intended it or not. We've had Pagani and Cizeta before, but since they were both facing off it was mostly equal, but this requires people to force themselves into one specific car for one side. So arguably, it will bring a lot of creativity, since some shots on the Skyline side will focus on being a lesser-shot car.

As for the eligibility of shots, sorry, but I have to draw a line. Look at George's shot; the eligible car isn't the focus, but it's still there... it makes it a lot easier to just not allow outside cars. And in jgda9rs' case, both cars are more of a focus than George's case; it looks like a close battle between two purpose-built GT-R's.

Anywho, the samurai will be an interesting one to watch this week ;)
 
Thanks Dman, it's actually not finished :D

The cleanup can be better, especially the transition between the different reflections 👍
