Hi all

I have been talking to the Editor of HPI and we have come up with an idea to make a competition for photographers. The top 10 people will have there picture of a car they have taken in HPI. (May in the future be used as a feature but this will be the decision of the editor)

Please remember they need to be named by your real name and a brief description of location and car.

Remember this is for fun and even if you are a professional or a novice submit some pics. Please PM me with your picture 3 picture Max in High res please. 6meg camera minimum.

Happy snapping

As many know Ben is no longer the Editor of HPI,Zoom Hot4's, Australian 4wd monthly, Street ford , Street commodores. The new editor is Jason Round and I have been speaking to Jason for a few months now, proven that I and Adam where able to get HPI and Ignition DVD to support the club at the resent show n shine in NSW would indicate that I have atleast spoken to them.

I am sure that Jason would not mind a verification but I cant see the problem with submitting a pic.

Any pics will be viewed by Jason as he is the editor will make the decition on what pics will be viewed.

Please keep this in mind that this is a bit of fun for those that would love to have there own car or a great pic in a magazine which is seen all around the world.

Regards Andrew

Here is a pic I took on the freeway to ballarat, i'm driving and taking the pic of a mates Stagea. I'll provide a link as I think the pic is too large but I think its a beauty. He does aswell, its his desktop background.

Pm me with some details of the car and the location please

good luck bud

I am getting a lot of emails Man I knew I should not of given that out. Anyway I would like to thank all those that have already put through some pics.

I am getting allot of questions and really it is not that difficult I am sure most of you have Digital cameras

I am unsure of the size of pics he is going to be using but I am sure even if you send in a 5meg photo It will be fine for the smaller pics.

Since it is going to be in HPI it has to be a Motorsport / Import Picture.

4 weeks to get the photos in it does not matter if it is a standard car or even if you are not a pro with the camera the point is to get creative with your car or a friends car and see if it makes it.. Guaranteed 10 spots.

If anyone has doubts about this drop Jason Round a email or call HPI

Hi all

Jason wanted me to let you know

the comp is about the photography and not so much the car, ie. Good composition, lighting etc.

aahh crap...oh well,might try some at the auto salon this weekend then :)

wasn't having a go before, just suspect of anyone saying 'give me your photoz' and then not saying who/what/when/why/etc.etc.

i get a bit agi when i dont get enuff sleep. plus being in WA i wouldn't know what goes on in the rest of OZ. (there good at that over here)

hello everyone

im new here and would like to enter this competition

i have been shooting drift since december last year, some of my work has appeared on driveline.net.au and i did the photoshoot for westdrift.com a few weekends back

here are my entry's for this competition

all taken using canon 1dmk2n and sigma 70-200, manfrotto monopod

all taken at WA drift battle round 3 - 15th june 07

for those of you in the know - EXIF data should still be attached

Andrew, just a few questions:

- do you have a cutoff date? this would be helpful

- can you tell us what the photos will be used for? do photographers retain repro/copy right?

- are you sure you want 3x6meg photos? that's an 18 meg email...

cheers,

sig.

They need to be of desent size as they need to be placed in the Mag I am not sure how Jason is going to do it but as stated at the start it is allowing the to 10 pics to enter.

    • For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
    • I’m also conscious that e85 is slowly being phased out. Not all United’s have them anymore. Can’t take the risk of being low on petrol and assuming the servo will have it. 
    • MR HAMMER has said his piece. Painted up to avoid Rusty Rusty. Actually lines up well. (i.e it lines up the same as the unmolested GTR guard). Turns out the GTR Strut brace does foul on the bonnet vents ever so slightly. May need a little bendy bendy if intended to keep using with a strut brace. So spacing it out to clear the FAST102 is not an option. Annoyingly, the bonnet vents also foul on the heater lines running over the engine. Given this engine does not EVER require a heater, a delete loop is going to be used. Don't worry, the defogger uses the AC. The heater is basically "Do not use the aircon and turn the fan on". It will still be effective, I promise.... once I get the system regassed... Will have to revisit with unvented bonnet I suppose, and suitable strut brace. There's plans to do this and other things tonight and bleed brakes (there was a weep) and put the bumper back on, and take Good Friday morning - Because troubleshooting on the side of the road limping it home at midnight tonight is ... not very smart.
    • Thank you all for you assistance. I contacted Nistune regarding the support for the RB20DE along with my ECU Code (23710-10U00). They do have a map for it and added the RB20DE as a purchasable option now as well. They also added Malta as a Billing and Delivery options as this was missing. I was honestly amazed at their quick response and action, it took less than 24 hours. I also looked again at direct fit options for injectors, just in case I were to replace them. DeatschWerks seem to use a Bosch EV14 base and makes ones that fit mine at 440cc lowest, but also have 550cc at the same price. I tried looking for other direct fit options and managed to find one (also Bosch EV14 based) which includes a plug and play adapter on ebay. Did a small test with a Noid Light on the troubled injectors and all seems good, so they are pulsing properly electrically. One weird part is that they are missing on the same two cylinders as before I got the injectors cleaned. Mechanic also found this weird as he did not label the injectors and it is unlikely to have the faulty injectors be installed in the same cylinders.
