Wide variety of shots - would there be some form of quality control?

Another idea, could also have something like model and owner somewhere on the photo so people knows what it is and whos it is and spices up the page...

Example:

Model: 1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25t Series II M-Spec 40th Anniversary

Owner: Vu Phan

Yeh vu there will be quality control, im not gonna rush into this (but still get it done in a decent time!), i want it to be good! Ive got alot of ideas from the 31 club calendar, and ill be taking a copy of that with me when i see the printer (got a few places in mind to check out tommorow on my day off) and hopefully have them help me set it all out, and help with what photos will be better to use.. Im pretty fussy when it comes to this stuff, a perfectionist I guess you can say, so i want this to look good.

By wide variety i meant single photos and also groups etc.

Good idea bout the info, 31 club calender did a couple of write ups on the cars, but I like your idea actually, with breif info like make/model, owner etc.

Kellie, id love to grab a disk with those photos u PM'd about if thats ok?

pfft charmaine, i waited ages and got shut down, time and time again

tooooo late now, i took my own :)

You didn't get shutdown....you shut me down for adam and a como cruise on the same day as mine...bet you didnt get any pro shots THERE did ya?? I forgive you because it was a charity cruise yes?? lol.

And pretty sure "YOUR contribution" on page 2 is actually a photo i took....but i forgive you :)

Ok flick....i have a SH!TLOAD of photos of SAU cars. HEAPS from the photography cruise i organised, a few from Autosalon and a crapload more from Kadina and some from Kel's cruise (but not many). I have got some pretty stunning shots of 2 of SAU's members cars - Jacks and Luke's which are in the sig. But yeah, would be pretty happy to get my good quality shots to ya on a cd or two.

Also just wondering, is there going to be a spot saying the photographer? Might get me some business haha :) Would be a great start to my photography career thats for sure ;)

Like this sorta thing?

Model: 1998 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS25t Series II M-Spec 40th Anniversary

Owner: Vu Phan

Photogapher: Ya Mum

Just an idea.

Edited by fullyhyperlite

I'd definitely buy one! Especially if my car features!!

Might have to give it a wash and head down to the beach for some sunset beach shots - Woo!

Get back to you with them in the next couple of days.

yea charmaine i rekon thats a good idea, maybe post up a small mod list or something, as these are only going around in the club, there is no reason for us to hide our mods, rwkw value, maybe make it like a small article, but if people think thats too much then just stick with name , car e.t.c.! yea, good idea , or idea stealing flick,and cheers for going to the effort of this! ta

lol just the owner and the car looks better... maybe make a calender for the ford laser club? LOL

Very funny...i see where im not wanted.

Ahh well. Calendars loss i guess :(

charmaine dont take whats said on a forum to heart, you cant tell someones tone of voice, weather angry or not over a computer sms e.t.c. we all here appreciate the effort and enthusiasm you show to take pics of our cars, turn up to cruises, plan cruises e.t.c.! so ignore the guy with sand in his vaj jay jay and keep up the good work!

Besides Kietz is messed in the head from chroming too much. You can only inhale a certain amount of glue before it starts affecting your frontal lobe..

Haha cheers guys!!

Just slightly off topic Ben, but Jack showed me the pics of the boot install he did for ya - looks great! :)

Cheers... still more to get done when I can afford it, but I'm damn happy with the sound the sub box puts out

-D

Okay guys ... break!

I agree with you Craig. You might not own the car now, but it was a nice machine and you put alot into it. Its still a Skyline, regardless of who owns it now, so it qualifies for the calendar if the organisers of the said calendar see it fit to add into.

Take a chill pill buddy. :ninja:

My 2c worth.

thanks ruby, thats the way i looked into it aswell,

just seems some people fail to see the big picture.

alot of little things led up to that burst,

i appologise to those that had to read it.

wow.. guys calm down! All good guys.. really

Back on topic.. been to 3 different printing places today, pretty sure ive found the 1 I am going to use. Will be seeing them thursday next week at this stage to make a start on it.

Will be best to get photos in to me by wednesday night then. That way, I can get this started and have them printed before the end of the year!

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
