Hey everyone,

Im looking for some people who own imported cars (not just Skylines) who would be willing to let me take some photos of for my Year 12 Photography project. I'm not too fussed on what cars to take photos of, but any help would be much appreciated!

It may seem weird because you don't even know me, but I am desperate haha. And maybe it would be nice to have some decent looking shots of ya car, free of any charge haha. I have already taken some photos of a members car who i am friends with. Below are the shots i took, gives an example of what sort of angles and shots i want to take.

If you have any questions about it and/or are interested, please type something in here or PM me and I will get back to you as soon as i can.

Cheers.

Thanks mate! Shall send ya a PM aswell :)

Yeah I'm happy for you to take pics, as long as you give me hardcopies of your handiwork :D

How soon do you need to do this? I have to get my spoiler and front bar painted in the next couple of weeks, will be unavailable till after then...

-D

how bout you do it at our auto salon display?

I'll be there anyways taking photos :)

Nah the idea is, to pick and plan a location and take photos. And i want the photos to be done in natural light aswell, not artifical lights inside a massss warehouse haha. And also cos of like the barriers put up around the cars i cant really get great shots. Outdoors is alot better cos you can get distance too without anyone walking infront of the camera :D :D

Ha for sure! Anyone i take pics for can have a disc or two of the photos i take :)

Does that mean that currently you don't have your car? Hmmm I need to have all the photos probably by at the latest the 22nd of August.

hahahaha too slow joe if you had of been watching we had a cruise tonight with 25 cars that turned up

but as others have posted were a great bunch of guy'n'gals and we will help you out :bunny:

Haha damn! I don't seem to hear about these cruises! haha. Although my night photography isn't as great as my day time photography :P

No, I have my car. It just has a few chips in it which I'd prefer to get fixed before the end of the month anyhow

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
