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.

    • 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.
