I was thinking we could do something on the Saturday afternoon - 4pm onwards as that is the better time in regards to light levels,

We can do outside Kevin Rudd's workplace or this other place that i've found on google maps here

Your call guys.:(

Sounds like a great idea, I think we should definitely organise it.

I know that, ie the top is one layer, as is the bottom or they are both the same layer, and overlayed on each photo, even so I'm just saying they are good subject matter and good pics, so are yours.

I'm not trying to pick on Mark's banners, they are quite good... What I'm saying is that the banner needs to be simple and striking. If there is too much going on it wont draw the spectators eye.

i reckon get rid of a pic of a car and just have a big banner wiht skylines act or something

i have a feeling if everyone is at a car show, and theres a bunch of the same cars, people will know we are a car club. problem is with a picture of a cartin car, u exclude others and i dont reckon it's diverse enough. by doing a artsy banner, with jsut text, i think that will grab peoples attention as it will be simple yet striking, then you can let the cars talk for themselves !!!!!

but thats what i think, and i haven't put any money in or anything so feel free to ignore what i think :(

You can get some nice shots there at night. see thread http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ph...html&st=200

If we wanted a banner that didnt have a car picture in it but still represented the club and location, we could have something like this... (see attachment).

Why cant I link pictures from my Photobucket account? - Every time I try I get the message "Sorry, dynamic pages in the tags are not allowed... :huh:

I like the idea of getting Parl House in the shot more than Telstra Tower and if you travel to Auto Salon etc there is nooo mistaking where you're from. I had no idea what Telstra Tower was before I moved here.

i know it's a commodore, but what about here as a location, or even without a car n just add in some text ????

ive got the day of tomoz so ill be out and about tonight getting some shots so ill add em in tomoz with some text etc...

but yeah, , location? (sorry for the commo haha )

edit, did a quick edit with some text....ill try get a similar photo tonight and do a good copy, basically no car, none of the carpark, so ill try get in a bit closer to the water, and ill broaden out the image a bit, tone done the brightness so theres more detail. im thinking if u were going to do an image like this though, you would want a car if it isn't only going to be text.

btw mick, my photobucket works, so yeah???

and yes...im bored haha

Edited by Gus-

maybe haha, at the moment he's the only mate who bothers to come out on photoshoots with me, other than that it's all landscape stuff.

it's actually a pretty nice example of a calais, super six....still no skyline though.

i duno haha im bored so thought id throw in some more examples of something for the banner

Not really.

But sice we're in the banner thread, you could use a sexy car like this!! :wub:

and that's exactly the time of day I want to use that location for.

Also i'd be bringing my big bag of tricks with me so I can do shots similar to this....

(obviously I won't be getting the whole car in the shot)

correct me if I'm wrong but that 1st pic (the 32) was probably taken very late at night or very early, theres a restaurant nearby, so can't get there as soon as it gets dark. Something to keep in mind.

ahh, you dont need to go near the resturant to get into the tunnel, u enter up the other end not the lake side end. meaning none of the public servents / politicians will need to worry about they're lovely dinner being ruined.

i reckon the tunnell is a bit over done though....if we are game we could try for the museum...me and some mates got up there once real close to the doors for about 45 mins before any security turn up...weren't happy bout it though

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
