Well, I can provide a camera man with digi SLR and access to areas at the National Museum you cant normally get to (should be able to, work for the security company and the camera man is security at the musem), plus i might be able to talk the guys at the war memorial (also same security company) into letting us do it there. We do questacon too, so since my car probly wont actually be in them, let me know if ya wanna use any of these sites and ill see what I can do.

Check some of his stuff out on his myspace, hes pretty good.

Hey thanks... this sounds great! Find out what you can and let us know if its okay to go ahead - the museum shots looked fantastic.

We need to start thinking about when, if we need extra lighting etc then a weekend may be better to give us time, but this may not suit the Museum, War Memorial, cameraman etc so lets start with them and try to work around that.

Which car?

Anyways, there is always guards at these sites and Justin said hes more than happy to do the shoot and to help me try and get you guys a good spot at the museum or where ever.

I know everyone and their dog has done a photo shoot at the tunnel near Questacon, but a group photo would actually look pretty good, but thats all up to you guys.

I kinda need to know which site you want to use straight up, so i can organise in advance, it wont be easy and I may have to do "favours" :(

Lets vote on our first site (it won't be our last).

1) National Museum

2) Tunnel near Questacon (is this called Reconciliation Place?)

3) Under Commonwealth Ave bridge

4) Top Westfield Woden carpark with Sky Plaza in background

5) War Memorial

6) Other

I can offer to help out with some of those favours you may have to deliver on... umm would knee guards help you? :(

We may choose two sites, one which involves other people such as Museum etc and one we can do without needing to involve others too deeply... such as a carpark or lake edge that we can do at leisure if we feel we need more when the first shoot is over.

Joel's green supra. He painted the car himself. Former member of MR2 club, current member of CCG...

Yeh, he lives in Sydney now, but he comes down to visit everyone ocassionally.

Justin says thanks for all the comments of his photos.

Yeh, those "ataboy knee pads may "come in hand"" later :cheers:

Sorry, that was bad :P

I don't really mind where its held. Just would like to participate.

Agreed :thumbsup:

Like the lake at nighttime though, maybe Mt Ainslie with photo taken down from high up on the viewing point facing down towards cars with city lights in background if possible.

dam, here i was thinking i had an original idea haha. Looks good though, maybe it should be during/after a meet up at the museum on a friday, head to the museum early, group together and cruise up the mountain for a photo shoot.

    • Actually,  just remembered there should be info in the threads (somewhere) about swapping to a manual steering rack and deleting power steering all together. 
    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
