well i have no photo to post but have been going through the last few pages and a few of these below are prime candidates for calendar photos! There is some gold in this thread that would look great blown upto a big picture. There was a couple i couldnt link, but martins shots of RBWARE and Andrews shot of his V35 also look awesome and a whole lot more. Submit them to flick guys and im sure some of these would definately make it in to the calendar!

problem with mine is it's not the original, has been through photoshop, doesnt have that shitty red car that was originally next to it, the original probably wouldnt be suitable as the red car kinda does ruin it. i have a high res version of the edited one tho, i guess its just whether it needs to be a true original to be in consideration?

One of my faves from Loxton ..... how many Skylines can you see in this pic? I make 7 - or 8 if you class Ruby's Stag as a 'Line :P

caliper covers or did you lash out and buy brembos?

send both versions stewy, sure we can make one of them work. Even if its just for one of the smaller photos.

Gday Luke, yeah have quite a few shots... but since I still haven't seen the last calendar I can't really be bothered.

alright ive sent both, just sent the edited version as a tif so it's a bit big, but being a jpeg off the camera it's already been compressed once, didnt want to compress it again.

also martin, we made ourselves available a few weekends in a row at villis on a friday night for people to come collect, otherwise people could have contacted myself or flick to arrange an alternate time to collect. And i think flick is being pretty generous in giving you a free copy of the new calendar. She doesnt make any money out of doing this so it is money out of her pocket to give you one.

But its a credit to you and your car if it appears in the calendar so its no hassle to us if you dont want to submit anything.

Hostile, like ive said to some previous people that never picked up the last one, you can have next years for free..

Wow. If only there was a way to send things to people all this could have been solved. Perhaps a genius idea that no one has ever thought of.

I'm not having a go at Flick or Luke but perhaps a little communication between all parties could have solved this quite easily.

your right writeoff, communication would have been good, flick puts enough effort into doing this without having to chase everyone up though.

Anyway, this is a photo thread, all will be good, martin and a couple of others are getting a free calendar this year to make up for missing out last time. Hope all will be happy.

Back to the photos!

    • Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners
    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
