A few of you seem interested in being my guinea cops and getting some free pics out of letting my take photo's of their cars, but i havent been able to do much to make this happen yet.

To fix this i'm proposing a photoshoot cruise, for anyone who wants their cars photographed, or wants to take photographs of cars.

I havent been on a cruise for a long time, so i'm not sure on the exact route but i've got a few ideas and any suggestions would be welcome.

My general plan is to start somewhere naturally scenic in the afternoon, say near the water somewhere or up in the mountains. As the light fails start heading towards the city to grab some night shots and take advantage of the artificial lighting, grabbing some in-motion shots as we go.

As for when, dont know, majority rules really, but i'd say that a weekend would give us all more chance to go where we want when we want, although i'm not sure what the rozza's are like near the city now.

Who's up?

well... forcast for this weekend looks crap... cloud and storms, a little sun would be nice me thinks... so i'm thinking maybe next w/e assuming its looking clear-ish.

Also route wise... what do people think. Palmy to the city. mountains to the city.... south to the city??? any others?

Palmy to the city Via McCarrs Creek Rd FTW!

Cloud and storms could work in your favour for photos, as long as it doesn't rain.

anyway back on topic...

Goldzilla, your right, clouds and storms can make a picture look a special, i just get grumpy when i take shots on a grey day and theres nothing to really make the paint shine.

But rain can be great at times... more reflections :P

08r, if it turns into a full on cruise thats fine, i'll just concentrate on getting pictures of the current mob first and foremost. So yeah quality over quantity. First 10-15 people get priority. Anyone else who wants to tag along is welcome.

Ok palmie to the city via McCarrs works for me, i want to make sure some of the trip is on multi lane tho so i can drive up beside you all.

Hopefully the car park at Barrenjoey (or however its spelt) is emptyish.

So unless anyone has any objections, shall we say next weekend (20th) first 10-15 people in get priority??

If we get less that 5 people or the weather looks crap then we can look at moving it.

guess its just a case of figuring out the route and places to stop off.

    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
