Hi ,

Just wondering if anyone out there is interested in purchasing some GT-R prints?

The images come from Dino Dalle Carbonare in Japan. You would have no doubt seen his work in HPI and DriftBattle mags.

They are approx:30 x 20 inch (760 x 500mm) and are printed on photographic paper (not some dodgy inkjet, quality LED printing), they come unmounted, delivered in a postal tube.

Also limited range of JGTC prints.

These will be the start of a new range of automotive prints from my business.

The cost will be $80 (incl. GST) + $5 postage and handling. I need to have some idea on numbers before I proceed with a print run.

PLEASE NOTE: Price change to $55 + incl. GST plus postage of $5. I need minimum of 20 orders of print for this price. This is a SAU price only.

Thanks

Yes, I knew the price would be the first thing everyone would jump on but without having any figures for quantities it's hard to set a break even point.

Sadly the images themselves are not given to me, they must be paid for and images of this quality are not cheap. Likewise the printing process is not cheap, but it is the best quality I could find. I'm looking to supply 1st class prints, not cheap crap. There is sadly enough rubbish around already.

I believe that if you look around the pricing isn't as bad as you think, these are not posters, they are large photographic prints. The print is good for 100 years if displayed under the correct conditions (i.e no direct sun, etc).

Selling them unmounted, although you won't probably believe this, is a way of trying to cut cost's. Framed or block mounted would add too much to not only the price of the actual print but blows the cost of delivery out to the extreme. Packaging, insurance and finding someone who can actually deliver them without damage is harder than you think.

Also choosing frames or even mounting styles creates problems, not everyone likes the same thing.

By the way, this isn't some huge company trying to flog you stuff. Just one bloke working from home in between work and family committments.

Keep the feedback coming.

Cheers

Just a quick clarification, the JGTC images are not from Dino but from another photographer in Japan.

Oh, and of course the images you see here are low res.

Cheers

Don't have any R-33 stuff at the moment, I'll see what Dino has available. Also will try and source some R-32 shots. I know that he has shot Garage Saurus R-32. Must admit it seems like everyone is only doing R-34's now in Japan.

I'm happy to say that the price will drop if I can secure 20 orders of an individual print. I've done a deal with the lab who output the prints and there giving me a discount on a 20 print minimum order.

The new price will be $55 (incl. GST) + $5 Postage & Handling.

Please don't forget that these images are not available anywhere else.

I have contacted Dino in Japan and he's going to sort some images of R-32/33's for me so hopefully I'll have some new images available soon.

Also looking at framing and mounting options again, so stay tuned.

I'm still looking for feedback on what everyone would be interested in.

Cheers

thats good pricing if pics of the 32s and 33's are nice i would consider getting a 32, 33 and a 34 photo. i will keep an eye on this thread.

ps if you are getting a 33 make it the midnight purple one :)

I'll see what I can do for you, but please remember I need 19 other people to want the same image to get the lower pricing.

Cheers

Btw can u get any jap workshop or JGTC RX7's ?

Here is everthing i have at the moment. This on top whats already posted.

Which price were you looking at? I can be a bit flexible price wise on images I already have but anything new is going to be more than $55 for 1 off prints.

I can source images from just about everything in Japan (and Europe for that matter) but to do 1 off prints from images I buy they would up end costing over $200.

(purchase image from photographer + layout/computer + printing = big$)

Not trying to scare people off or go the big whinge but I need to sell at least 10-15 of each print to break even.

Cheers

    • I should try the experiment you're talking about, the throttle switch is still there carried over from the R32 and it's still all wired up but after I did the whole intake manifold refurb and had to recalibrate the TPS I managed to somehow get the idle switch reporting activation at 0.22V, then when I adjusted it to 0.45V for idle it decided the engine was permanently no longer idling which caused some very weird behavior, closed loop idle was disabled so it would basically be at the whims of the cold start valve and whatever the base timing table was at. Then just unplugging/replugging the TPS with the ECU live caused it to relearn the idle TPS position and decide 0.45V was idle. Presumably there's nothing in the TPS that allows for the throttle switch to "recalibrate" like that, not easily at least.
    • Duh... to answer my own silly question, it's actually described in the FSM... ...400 pages away at the end of the manual, for RB25DE/DET signal descriptions, it cites the TPSwitch signal action, is dependent on the TPSensor value ~ this tends to infer the builtin POT voltage signal is the primary, and the switches are fallback/secondary should the POT fail/TPSensor signal lost (and switch alone with no TPSensor signal allows for base idle speed setting).... makes sense... they (TPS units) used to fail/wear the POT with time, they're not exactly built to last ~ having the switch as a redundancy gets around this...(or, it's less likely both signals would be lost as they're on different power rails)... and of course wrt RB26DETT, you have to electrically disconnect the IACV solenoid from the harness, to defeat idle air control...  
    • Dose is unaware just how much fun 145-150kw would be in a 2.5L NC MX5. It would be one of the most fun things to drive to ever grace SAU.
    • Same thought crossed my mind ~ depends on how one connotes 'stalling'...ie; gets a rough/stumbling idle as it get warm until it stalls... or... idles ok and simply falls-over when it gets to temp... ...you can test the whole circuit with a couple of resistors ...unplug coolant temp sensor, bridge terminals with a 2K7 resistor (ECU will do cold start), or with engine warm bridge with a 330R resistor (ECU will consider engine to be at normal operating temp)...it's a quick way to check wiring integrity/ECU response when you don't have a multimeter handy ...
