Sorry about that guys, we just missed the light, Blame Ash for talking for too long

Happy to try again at some stage at earlier part of the evening

i'm gonna pass on these ones.... you cant actually see my car

lol

Nice try guys but I think time of day + positioning didn't really pay off on this one...was still a good mini meet lol. Who's up for round 2?

TJ got some front and centre action atleast lol. Didn't really agree with the salute to the Stagea, no offence TJ but it is predominantly a Skyline car club :down:

Yes well considering what time we got there unfortunately this was the best we could expect, considering the time of night

If we had been leaving at 8pm as Wayne had wanted then i think it would have been a very different story

Oh well cant please eveyone

Also Birds if you note from last nights AGM that we aren't a predominantly Skyline club we have a big mix of non skylines, so why cant the Stagea be front and centre ?

Shots turned out great! Lucky to get a front position too :down: Was a good meeting for the people that rocked up, it was very informative on how the club is going. Great to know we're going strong!

Turned out to be a nice little meet and met lot a friendly people and had some good talks. Good night overall.

generally you would want something a little less COMMON as the centrepiece, so a very CLEAN STAGEA looks good in the middle :down:

only thing that would of worked better in the middle would be been an R35 GTR...

no point having a 33 as the centrepiece, they arent exactly unique, and there would be too many others in the shot :)

agreed!

plus we wanted everything evenly spaced

yeah James these will be framed. For once my car actually looks like its ment to be there, not just hanging around up the back.

Your all facing my car cause your trying to absorb some of my stealthy-ness :down:

cheers ryan :)

I'm well aware we have a big mix of non Skylines but the most popular cars in the club are Skylines. The club wouldn't exist if it weren't for Skylines. And well, Skylines Australia Victoria...it's in the name. I don't think any car should have been front and centre to be honest, nor have a heap of cars pointing towards one...but if you're going to do that then it should probably be a Skyline. I'm not trying to Nazi the photoshoot; just putting forth my opinion that I didn't agree with the setup of cars. Forgive me for having the honesty to give you guys some constructive criticism. I'd have purchased a full sized print if I could see more than 15% of my car, as would others I'm guessing. The time of night was probably better suited to individual car shots IMO.

Well like I said, You cant please everyone

Well if i know what people were expecting or wanted then I could have planned better, but as we had virtually no light I worked with what I had.

It is this kind of non appreciation that makes me wonder why I should give up my time to do this for the club and its members

Why are you viewing it as non-appreciation? I said "nice try" and I like the others appreciate the time you guys took to make an appearance at the meeting/photoshoot...but why can't I disagree with the photoshoot without it being seen as non-appreciation? That isn't very professional IMO.

/end my contribution to this thread. Thank you.

    • 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
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
