Looking For An Opportunity To Take Some Pics

Recommended Posts

Ive been wanting to do some decent photos of my car since i finished getting it set up.. Im out penrith way which has no good spots to take photos.. car is quite low so im restricted to few places..

Thing I really want to do is a nice city shot at night under lights, maybe around the rocks so I can get the harbour bridge as a backdrop, Shame I dont visit the city often to know of a nice place.. If you ever think of a place to do it just PM and i can come out to wherever you want me to..

Here is a pic of my car from texi last sunday Courtesy of Mr Xmetal..

Red + Black make the most powerful colours David.

A rare colour like yours would be stunning.

There are a few places around the Blue Mtns with rock walls as a backdrop which are very impressive.

Mitchell's Pass is closed at the moment, but I took a peek anyway to-day > a rock fall east of the Lennox bridge allows a car to just squeeze past. That would be impressive 'with boulders on the public road' - unless they move them away in the next couple of days.

I must thank you Simon for your kind offer - I must say! :)

Boulders on a public road would look pretty damn cool, where is mitchell's pass anyway??

Ok so far i haven't had chance to go exploring with the camera yet for good locations (i might go for a cruise looking for some on the weekend).

But hows this for suite people for size... If you have a car and some locations in mind, shoot me a PM and tell me when you're free/when you'd like to do it, odds are i'll have no problems accomodating you (just not valentines day people... i value my life).

Otherwise, for those who have no idea where to shoot (like me at the moment) i have a cunning plan.

I'm thinking of maybe doing a cruise with the sole purpose of grabbing some shots.

Start somewhere scenic and pretty in the afternoon to catch the nice light on the nice background (eg, the beaches or mountains), but then heading towards somewhere a bit more man made as night falls to make the most of city lights and reflections (rocks, Harry's, bondi any nice big car park with lots of different light sources etc etc).

No idea when to do this... i'll leave that up to the majority.

Mitchell's Pass is a small downhill twisty bit of road in emu plains/emi heights. Has a semi decent lookout at night over the lights of penrith.. Would have to block off the road for snaps though as the parking spots are blocked by trees. (its relavtvely quiet there anyways).

There is also a few spots to stop along the pass with cliff face either side which i just thought of.. at night though it would be pitch black.

If your interested one night (any night will do) to come out just pm me and we can meet up to check that area out.

p.s. its drift spec now PJ.. :blink: and thank you for the kind words Terry :P

    • Big sump with a quaife front diff should be you’re first modifications  big sump will keep the engine alive and quaife front diff will transform how it handles 
    • I would be doing the build in stages (I don't have money to do it in one go). 
    • Mine is boring, have a pair of Mission 701 8" book shelves, hidden behind a 3m wide entertainment unit away from the kids, matching centre with rear Mission LX3 with 1x tweeter punched in already. Sub (now with a blown amp) was something I built about 15 years ago. Has 1x Dayton 10" HF driver and 1x 500W O-Audio plate amp, enclosed in a 90L ported enclosure tuned to about 25hz. Goes pretty loud and you do get mild chest compressions but not enough. Have updated the receiver since, I now run a Yamaha RX-V6A just purely for all the integration and shit with streaming services and e-ARC.   I do want to get this: https://www.selby.com.au/price-promise/tonewinner-sw-d6000-subwoofer.html   Realistically without a potential divorce, this is better: https://www.selby.com.au/price-promise/tonewinner-sw-d4000-subwoofer.html  
    • I joined this group years ago when I got my hands on an R33 GTS-T and was excited to get some mods on it. Unfortunately, I had to do the adult thing and sell it to buy a house. Fast-forward six years later, and I have been blessed to be in a position to buy an R33 GTR next year.   I am getting close to buying my dream car, I would like to get the community's advice on modifications. I have researched mods in the past but I feel newer and better things have come out since then (2018).    Goals: I would like to have a 400-500hp daily driver. I would also like to get the engine dressed up (Wire tucks, rocker cover pain etc etc). I would also like to use it for track days but more for fun rather than competitions.   I am moving to Brisbane, Australia so any good mod garage recommendations in the area would be appreciated.
    • Thanks everyone for the replies/suggestions on my issue here. I'm still trying to diagnose the root cause of this. Things I have done so far: A week ago, I disconnected my 12v constant relay mod and returned it to the stock FPCM wiring: I could hear the sound of the fuel priming was different because of the FPCM limiting the amount of volts going to the fuel pump. From memory I think it also primed to 43psi. It was very hard to start it. I don't think from memory I could start it at all. I had to then ground the fuel pump to the chassie and then it could start after a couple of cranks. Fuel pressure did drop a bit to about 45psi (i think). It was idling even worse than before. 🤔 It was also doing the same weird RPM tacho thing. So I've returned it back to the constant 12v relay mod for now as I investigate more. Right now, I'm in the process of deleting my aftermarket immobilizer, an old Japanese turbo timer, and another aftermarket transponder immobilizer that the previous owners put in years ago (from sexspec days).  Just curious to see if this whole bird nest would cause some weird electrical problems. The Viper 5900 immobilizer stopped working a few years ago, and I pulled out the main fuse on it years ago to stop it from being a parasitic battery drain and I haven't bothered to clean up the mess there, so now is a good time to. There was a RPM signal wire that spliced into the RPM tacho signal from the ECU harness. I've taken it out. I've already pulled out the Viper immobilizer and returned all the joints wires/splices back to factory. I let the car idle and it's still the same idle and RPM tacho idle issue. Now I'm going to delete the turbo timer and the other key transponder immobilizer (autowatch) and return splicing/wiring back to factory setup. Just to see if this might be causing some electrical issues. It might not, but I just want to get rid of it anyway. True!, I was actually thinking this the other day. I will check with another new vac line to make sure this is not the issue.   This is actually on my to-do list, and you might be right, this might be a shit batch of fuel because I filled the tank up to 3/4 full from near empty, then I went to the shops and it happened straight after that. I've always filled up from this servo for years with no problems, but yeah might be my first batch ever batch of shit fuel from them. Will be doing this next when I get my hands on a container/jerry can. I just didn't think to do this straight away because it doesn't really explain why the tacho RPM thing is happening. Maybe I'll chuck some injector cleaner in the new batch too?
