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:

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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
