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)

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
