Well, I can provide a camera man with digi SLR and access to areas at the National Museum you cant normally get to (should be able to, work for the security company and the camera man is security at the musem), plus i might be able to talk the guys at the war memorial (also same security company) into letting us do it there. We do questacon too, so since my car probly wont actually be in them, let me know if ya wanna use any of these sites and ill see what I can do.

Check some of his stuff out on his myspace, hes pretty good.

Hey thanks... this sounds great! Find out what you can and let us know if its okay to go ahead - the museum shots looked fantastic.

We need to start thinking about when, if we need extra lighting etc then a weekend may be better to give us time, but this may not suit the Museum, War Memorial, cameraman etc so lets start with them and try to work around that.

Which car?

Anyways, there is always guards at these sites and Justin said hes more than happy to do the shoot and to help me try and get you guys a good spot at the museum or where ever.

I know everyone and their dog has done a photo shoot at the tunnel near Questacon, but a group photo would actually look pretty good, but thats all up to you guys.

I kinda need to know which site you want to use straight up, so i can organise in advance, it wont be easy and I may have to do "favours" :(

Lets vote on our first site (it won't be our last).

1) National Museum

2) Tunnel near Questacon (is this called Reconciliation Place?)

3) Under Commonwealth Ave bridge

4) Top Westfield Woden carpark with Sky Plaza in background

5) War Memorial

6) Other

I can offer to help out with some of those favours you may have to deliver on... umm would knee guards help you? :(

We may choose two sites, one which involves other people such as Museum etc and one we can do without needing to involve others too deeply... such as a carpark or lake edge that we can do at leisure if we feel we need more when the first shoot is over.

Joel's green supra. He painted the car himself. Former member of MR2 club, current member of CCG...

Yeh, he lives in Sydney now, but he comes down to visit everyone ocassionally.

Justin says thanks for all the comments of his photos.

Yeh, those "ataboy knee pads may "come in hand"" later :cheers:

Sorry, that was bad :P

I don't really mind where its held. Just would like to participate.

Agreed :thumbsup:

Like the lake at nighttime though, maybe Mt Ainslie with photo taken down from high up on the viewing point facing down towards cars with city lights in background if possible.

dam, here i was thinking i had an original idea haha. Looks good though, maybe it should be during/after a meet up at the museum on a friday, head to the museum early, group together and cruise up the mountain for a photo shoot.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
