Hi guys,

Just letting you in on a secret hobby of mine. I like taking and collecting pictures of skyscrapers. Is that geek or what??? :D

Anyways, I just wanted to know if any of you Sydney members has a pic of Sydney CBD from showing the newly completed World Tower apartment building from (dare I say) Nielsen Point or Taronga Zoo?

Thanks.

I'm doing the harbour bridge climb Sunday at 3pm so if anyone take a pic of the CBD for Rezz on that day, could you also try and zoom in on the group of climbers?

ok rezz will do it on a nice day... its been pretty cloudy last couple of days. not sure if my zoom (x10) will be good enough though... world towers are the one on the corner of george and liverpool st... right?
Thats right, 85 Liverpool st... theres another largish building being built going up along side it.

wld33, which building do you work in ? If you can get on the roof I've got a new Panasonic FZ10 (12 x optical) with a 1.7x Tele and tripod which might help :))

Rezz, I work in the Citigroup building so I can try and get you some shots. In the meantime seeing as you like shots of the city, heres a few shots I took on Thursday arvo as I was walking to catch the bus -->

Holy shit Jimbo, those are beutiful pics! I wish I could take pics like that...

Oh, and if you can get some shots of the entire CBD mate that'd be sweet, cheers.

Rezz,

I've got a few images from and of the Bridge, as my sister used to work for BridgeClimb, and because of the number of climbs they have everyday, they ALWAYS have someone on up there with the opportunity for taking a good shot. A climb leaves every 10 minutes, and there's always three (if I remember correctly) groups at various stages of the climb at any one time.

There are quite a few good shots available, but the file sizes are too large (how do I attach thumbnails? :confused: ). There are heaps of good storm shots if anyone wants them, and most are at a pretty hi-res.

If you want any of the shots, let me know via PM or email

Thanks muchly for the offer, but the angle from the top of the bridge of the CBD kinda hides the World Tower afaik, which is what I'm after specifically. But thats coming from me, whos never done the bridge climb... I can't say for sure if you can see World Tower or not. But I've taken pics from the walkway from the Rocks area of the bridge, and I couldn't get Centerpoint in, let alone anything behind it!

Sorry about the time Rezz ;) Left the pictures I really wanted to post up at work so for now I'll humor you with some others :devfu:

http://jtaylorcraig.customer.netspace.net....au/various1.htm

Down the bottom you will find two pictures taken whilst playing cat and mouse against an RBT ;) After racing through a very strange road, somehow I found myself at a dead end and looking out at a perfect view of the city at night.

The pictures arn't the best as this was after a wedding at 3am, however they giev you an idea of how the world tower fits into things. note, World Tower is the building you can see in the first pic with the blue square ontop, Citigroup is to it's left and between Citigroup and Centrepoint is the AAPT building ....

Once I get back in to work I'll post up the pictures I took of the World Tower during the day ...

      Meh, At 60 years old, I have been doing dumb stuff for much longer than you mate, I am the true King And unfortunately I cannot be a maroon, as I am not brownish red As for not getting ITB's, the plenum intake will apparently show typical gains across the board and increase induction noise a bit, but, have all over less dort than ITB's Cost difference for the extra ITB dorts was significant though, the total parts for the plenum set up is "around" $2kAUD plus shipping, the ITB's were $4kAUD plus shipping, I was contemplating really hard about paying the extra $2k for all of the dorts, but weirdly, some form of common sense, from listening to the platform experts prevailed  As for the NA mod hate by some, I've had a few boosted cars, with all their inherent issues, I'm now looking at simplicity and legalities for a street car, maybe I'm just getting old, and I'm quite happy to spend some of the kids inheritance, 5kw at a time 🤣 And think of all the money I'll be saving on consumables that something with boost needs, like engines, gearboxes, diffs, clutches,  tilt trays... etc. etc. etc. 🤪

      Haha.  I wouldn't say I am either but I've definitely been around it plenty.  I'm guessing you know the dial in is basically to make a handicap to level the playing field between racers.  The car with the slower dial in goes first and in theory if they run their dial in time and the faster car also does then they cross the finish time if they also have exactly the same reaction time - if you go faster than the dial in them you lose, but if you are too slow there's a good chance the other person will get to the finish line first. I'm normally supporting other cars but they were all pretty dialled and were egging me on to race as well, here's one of the cars I tune (Starlet) which ran within like 1 hundredth of its dial in through the competition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inEBu-d9Gn4&t=69s

      What ecu? Same shop every time? Same ambient temperature? If timing is correct then pull plugs and see if lean or rich. Dyno can also read different if they have changed ramp rate or not set tacho/speed properly

      I've never done dial in's just straight up, whatever that's called. I'm far from a drag (racing ) expert.
