I was just about to suggest that JAGR33 :)... Studley Park road. Only problem is that prolly have to kick out people making out/just sitting/sports motorbike guys that lurk around there... Plus police patrol that area regularly because its fairly netorious and there isn't much space for just parking lots of cars. There is the car park there though near the yarra, but it would have to be early morning because it does fill pretty quickly. There are a couple of other places around there to meet there too.

There is also Skyhigh on mt Dandenong but that is getting out a bit.. That has a car park over looking all of melbourne (although its a fair way in the distance).

ok well we didnt come up with much... hehe

there is a nice shot on the bridge from collins treet over the train tracks(spencer st.) over to colonial which would look good at night with the lights of the rialto in the background...

only other place we could think of was denhams suggestion of albert park which would be good... with the pitlane and in big bold letters MELBOURNE AUSTRALIA everywhere hehe

bit ugly at the moment but once they setup a bit more would look good... need more places to check...

I know a couple of spots that are great if you want to use the Westgate Bridge as a backdrop! There are really good spots on both sides, I think it would be best at sunset / dusk / night - the bridge shows up better at night! More clarity and detail.

Let me know if you want more details.

FTR its "Bolte" bridge, but you guys were close.

Guys, DTM Melbourne is having a photo-shoot this Saturday. We have spent quite some time finding the ideal places for photo's with a city-backdrop.

A few ideas:

The Rooftop Carpark near Centra Hotel/World Trade Centre

The carpark near Docklands Bolte Bridge

The Federation Square Carpark (rooftop)

The Black Rock Yacht Club Car-Park

Samples of the first two. (Sorry about the quality)

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
