Hi all

I have been talking to the Editor of HPI and we have come up with an idea to make a competition for photographers. The top 10 people will have there picture of a car they have taken in HPI. (May in the future be used as a feature but this will be the decision of the editor)

Please remember they need to be named by your real name and a brief description of location and car.

Remember this is for fun and even if you are a professional or a novice submit some pics. Please PM me with your picture 3 picture Max in High res please. 6meg camera minimum.

Happy snapping

As many know Ben is no longer the Editor of HPI,Zoom Hot4's, Australian 4wd monthly, Street ford , Street commodores. The new editor is Jason Round and I have been speaking to Jason for a few months now, proven that I and Adam where able to get HPI and Ignition DVD to support the club at the resent show n shine in NSW would indicate that I have atleast spoken to them.

I am sure that Jason would not mind a verification but I cant see the problem with submitting a pic.

Any pics will be viewed by Jason as he is the editor will make the decition on what pics will be viewed.

Please keep this in mind that this is a bit of fun for those that would love to have there own car or a great pic in a magazine which is seen all around the world.

Regards Andrew

Here is a pic I took on the freeway to ballarat, i'm driving and taking the pic of a mates Stagea. I'll provide a link as I think the pic is too large but I think its a beauty. He does aswell, its his desktop background.

Pm me with some details of the car and the location please

good luck bud

I am getting a lot of emails Man I knew I should not of given that out. Anyway I would like to thank all those that have already put through some pics.

I am getting allot of questions and really it is not that difficult I am sure most of you have Digital cameras

I am unsure of the size of pics he is going to be using but I am sure even if you send in a 5meg photo It will be fine for the smaller pics.

Since it is going to be in HPI it has to be a Motorsport / Import Picture.

4 weeks to get the photos in it does not matter if it is a standard car or even if you are not a pro with the camera the point is to get creative with your car or a friends car and see if it makes it.. Guaranteed 10 spots.

If anyone has doubts about this drop Jason Round a email or call HPI

Hi all

Jason wanted me to let you know

the comp is about the photography and not so much the car, ie. Good composition, lighting etc.

aahh crap...oh well,might try some at the auto salon this weekend then :)

wasn't having a go before, just suspect of anyone saying 'give me your photoz' and then not saying who/what/when/why/etc.etc.

i get a bit agi when i dont get enuff sleep. plus being in WA i wouldn't know what goes on in the rest of OZ. (there good at that over here)

hello everyone

im new here and would like to enter this competition

i have been shooting drift since december last year, some of my work has appeared on driveline.net.au and i did the photoshoot for westdrift.com a few weekends back

here are my entry's for this competition

all taken using canon 1dmk2n and sigma 70-200, manfrotto monopod

all taken at WA drift battle round 3 - 15th june 07

for those of you in the know - EXIF data should still be attached

Andrew, just a few questions:

- do you have a cutoff date? this would be helpful

- can you tell us what the photos will be used for? do photographers retain repro/copy right?

- are you sure you want 3x6meg photos? that's an 18 meg email...

cheers,

sig.

They need to be of desent size as they need to be placed in the Mag I am not sure how Jason is going to do it but as stated at the start it is allowing the to 10 pics to enter.

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
