Hi all,

A few friends and I are on the hunt for locations to take some happy snaps of our rides. Having said that, maybe a thread for locations in and around Melbourne for day\dusk\night shots?

Have found this carpark:

Turn into Little Collins St from King or Williams St and car park on the left before Elizabeth St. Excellent white lighing, excellent grafitti and excellent surroundings being high rise buildings and construction site (at the moment).

Cheers,

James

Very good thread, I've always wanted to know where nice places are for some photos in and around Melbourne. To make it work a little better, maybe post up a location and pics to show how good it really is! :)

I've seen quite a few people take shots under the bridge near docklands. Too bad I don't have any photos or even know how to get there. >_<

Good point Adam. Here are the antics from last night!

The first three are in the car park mentioned in my first post.

The fourth is at Rod Laver Arena - went down the largest entry off Swan St (?). Unfortunately the grassy area that would have been nice was all chained off =(

The last two were in some backs street in Richmond just off Bridge Rd. Can't remember the street name, just stumbled on it.

So... if anyone else can share a sweet spot for some Kodak moment, it would be greatly appreciated. The boys are getting together (SLK 203 Kompressor, Ford XR6 turbo ute any myself) are doing a late night Sunday. Some aimless driving is going to be fun, but having a destination in mind would be good (c:

heres a few locations someone posted up in a thread i made a while back. kinda died in the ass so im hoping that your effort works out better. i'll definately be in for a shoot

-Sky heights - Dandenong

-St Kilda Pier - St Kilda

-Mt Ridley - errr...Mt Ridley? (Down Hume Hwy)

-Chelsea Beach/ Boat ramp

-Great Ocean Road

-Shipyards/Docks(Docklands)

-Railyards

-Large Graffiti walls. eg: Trainstations etc...

-Industrial estates (Research)

-Multiplex car parks

-Yarra Blvd

-Frankston Mariner

-Sugerloaf

-Farm lands (Werribee Sth)

-Airport (Essendon, Tulla, Avalon)

-Ferntree Gully Road -Industrial factorys

-Burwood Industrial estates. {Near Vicroads}

-20+ Metre high walls located in between Cook Rd & Antonio Primary School, Whitehorse Rd.

-Old Pentrige Prison, Coburg

-Kodak building, Newlands Rd. Coburg x2 [There's also a kinda lookout spot with the city view]

-Silvan Dam (Kalorama)

-Kinglake; plus some stops along the way

-New estates + paddick area, Cragieburn

-Mt Cooper city view, Bundoora

i dont understand why ppl take there cars up to the "mountains" or on grass paddocks or anything stupid like that. unless you have a tracker or something similar you should be sticking to more modern areas. eg. factories, underground carparks, bridges ect ect.

Better view of the sunrise/sunset, but either way, your car should be the main piece of the photo not the scenery. Who cares... :teehee:

Fair call, but I must admit there are some grassy areas with "ornate" chairs, lighting and other arty stuff that make the picture look nice. Like Rod Laver Arena... damn chained off areas.

Also, going up mountains, and if the picture is taken correctly - you can get some excellent shots of the city lights, sunsets or sunrises.

It is all about the car making the set look good =)

If it is just plonked in the middle of your local park then what was the point of driving your car there??? An adventure play gym?

Anyhow, locations guys + gals, locations! And photos =)

I photographed this Maserati at First Point, Port Melbourne. Its a nice quiet spot in a dead end street.

I'll give away another location... This next shot is at the side of Aviation rd, Point Cook, just near the RAAF Base.

    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
    • One way of putting the fuel surge idea to rest, is that even when in neutral/clutch in or free revving it still has the same issue, it can’t even get to limiter (7800) so to me that says it can’t be g force, I’m not trying to argue I just want to find the f&$king issue 😡
