Play with lighting/angles/exposure a bit. You've got primarily dark cars in dark environments. That can look really good when you can see details. Either place the cars in a more well lit area or up the exposure value a bit.

Also in a few shots, you've got really highly exposed areas(windshields) along with much less exposed areas like the sides of the cars. That contrast makes the details of the body of the cars harder to see.

Dark pics can be great, but they either have to convey a certain mood or story or they turn into just really dark pics.

Play around with light a bit and these turn into much better shots. That being said, I really like the way your GT-R Spec looks. Post more soon.
 
yardism has good tips. The exposure in the first couple of photos definitely needs to be turned up a bit. Sometimes overexposed photos can turn out pretty good. They're not bad at all to be honest, just needs to be brighter. :)

I also agree that the GT-R photos do look good.
 
Agree with the above posters. Your cars are very dark and in places like Kyoto (basically at night) it sometimes looks a bit confusing and doesn't convey a mood or story, just plain dull.
Add more light to your cars and play around with exposure and angles, and try not to use the same 'backdrop' for more than 2 photos.
 
Thanks for your input, i will have a mess around with what you have said and post some new ones soon, the only problem i seem to have is trying to make bright coloured cars look real as they just look too much like toys and can't seem to ever get them right
