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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
