Hey everyone, my names garreth and i'm an avid skyline fan. Just wanted to say that my best mate is doing a yr 12 media project, and it's basically a car movie with drags and lots of cars.

I just wanted to know if anyone is interested in getting their cars in some sweet footage. Our first day of filming was on Saturday 26th and we had a total of about 80 cars throughout the night. It was awsome fun. So yeah just wondering if anyone is interested...

Post up more details of these "drags". If they are held in 100% legal then I'll let this thread stay, otherwise it'll be removed. We don't condone or support the promotion of illegal drags, wether to help out students or otherwise. You have 24 hours.

Yer, please let us know what type of footage.

If its all legal you'll have no problems getting 30-40sky's along with some of our help :cheers:

I'll let you know that if your filming illegal drags... you'd better not hope some of the cars owners find out or you might find yourself in a sticky situation... Just some friendly advice :)

lol dont worry guys...this is 100% legal as Calvin here can tell you

i wouldn't condone anything illegal anyways...but yeah last saturday basically we had our main actors line up and launch against each other. Everything was performed in a controlled environment, lol and don't worry serious-seven we had a 250 thousand dollar S- 15 down there which was basically in need of a canary, but since it was in a controlled environment, everything was kewl.

My mate and i contacted the traffic control unit for Victoria and we closed the street of (legally), we then contacted the police and told them of what we wanted to do, they said it was kewl (again still all legal), and finally we told Footscray police on the day, and the senior constable said it was all good, so nothing illegal involved. They even legalised out burnouts.

The movie we did on Saturday was basically a demo to let everybody know that we are quite serious about cars, and we aren't just a couple of stupid teenagers looking for a thrill ride.

I can vouch for G-SPEC, as the last fiiming was done in an control and organise environment. hey G-SPEC, my mate just got himself a 03 HSV clubsport (sad, he sold his R33 for this?) do u want me to talk to him and try to get him to come down for the next shooting?

yeah calvin that would be good...(i cant believe he did that)

yes it is a legal environment dude, and the street we chose was good because on the night there must have been about 3 cars that actually needed to drive down it...all other cars must have found a detour.

Our filming is just bascially gonna be focussed on like a 'car meet-up' theme. We just need lots of cars. Check out the demo movie...thats what the first day of filming looked like...that was the street we used

We will probably use that again

It didn't appear to be a very 'controlled' environment, people were standing around on the sides of the road...

Forgive me for being cynical, but I honestly can't see Police giving permission for this type of thing... do you have any insurance? What happens if there is any damage to property or someone gets injured?

nah i understand if you are a bit sceptical about the whole thing, and no i don't have any insurance, i am still only in yr 12, and i don't have a car yet. But it's your choice to believe what you want.

We controlled the event as much as we possibly could, given the fact that we had contacted the police and that all filming was done under controlled conditions. If you still don't understand what i mean by this i'll try and summerise for you.

We contacted the Traffic control unit for Victoria and told them what Brendan's idea was, and we said that we just wanted to make sure that everything we wanted to do was done the legal way. We told them that we only really need them to legalise our 'burnouts' on the night, because apart from that nothing was really illegal. All the launches you see in the demo tape are actually quite slow...so no one was in any real danger of losing control. We kept the cars under about 80 (or 60) at all times. We then contacted the relevant people from Victoria Police and asked them if our idea was ok, and we told them that we aren't the type of kids who just want to go out and do stupid ass burnouts.

In terms of the crowd, we did as much as we could to tell them to not venture onto the filming strip, short of tieing them up. We told them time and time again not to step too close to the strip (and most of the time they did listen to us). you see i had no idea where else they were going to stand apart from the sides of the road.

Yeah Blade it is a nice place (though the road needs to be fixed up a bit), the HOT 4's photo shoot was done there about 2 and a half months ago...

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Ha ha, yeah, I've had one following me around in my parts boxes since about 2007 I believe. Just a little iddy bit hole drilled in the one I have to let it vent out once pressure was removed from the engine side. Still no idea what I'd put it on, ha ha.

      Anybody affected by the M1 minefield this morning?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Just read this... Just a little bit of a wild one! Do you think the driver was testing out a new feature/device for how to lose the cops in a high speed chase?   I also suspect, if the box has a road sweeper that does magnetic metal pick up, he does a LOT of work in the machining industry. Which is what most of that looked like, machining chips from a mill or lathe. And I bet they're RAZOR sharp! And from an environmental perspective they really do need to actually collect all of those little pieces too. I wonder how many people still cop flat tires over the coming months on that road?   As for insurance company, yeah, it'd be interesting to hear what they say to the owner. But realistically, he's right, that "It's his fault". In the way that, it was his truck that spilled it, so they need to clean it up. However, neither he, nor his insurance company may bear the end cost if they do an investigation and find out it was caused by someone elses negligence (And they know who)...

      Yeah, no matter what bad things people can say about Julian from Autospeed, he at least was capable of thinking and his inclusion of a check/relief valve in the plumbing for the Audi boost controller, that I made a copy of and used for years**, completely eradicated that problem. **It's still lying on my workbench where I put it about, um, 18 years ago and have never found a home for it!

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I didn't actually know this! I've seen photos of the H1, mainly outside shots, and they just look "different". I guess there'd be a few little changes like nicer rims, and probably the fact they have nicer looking paint with some depth and shine, which will make any vehicles body look different to the very flat colours of the defence force.   I've watched the guys on GHPC convert their Humvee to LS1, and they've done some really nice front shock upgrade. I'm waiting for the next video on it with the rear end done. I can't remember if they've already done it, or I dreamed it, but I believe they're also supercharging theres. They will be in the future doing proper long travel suspension too.   If you ditch out your big V8, as rubbish as it must be, send it to my place. I'll let the unreliable V8 motor and box be here. I just like V8s... So I'll find something to do with it... Even if that something is just taking up valuable space in the yard. I might have something Skyline I can send back in payment... Or even Ford Barra motors  (From memory you're in Canada yeah?) So you can then play with the legendary Aussie 4L version of an RB...  Except they don't have that distinctive random miss at idle like the RB25 does.

      Or you mean the age old problem of early 2000's manual boost tees, where they never let the pressure out of the line between the boost tee, and the waste gate, so after your first trip on boost, the damn wastegate liked to stay open and be laggy on gear change?
