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

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
