so how big does the pic have to be?

No particular size, just of good resolution.. For it to be considered to be used as a main page photo, the higher the res the better, since it will be getting enlarged to fit most likely

Here's a pic I'd love to include but I want to go back and re-do it, this time with my heslo plates and standard GTR front bar, if you want to include it let me know and I'll go back and take another :D

Luke, awesome pics! I want your car as a main pic, so if u can get me one with the plates etc, would be awesome!!

Good idea by the way. I'd be interested in offering my car for photograhic purposes, or at the very least owning the finished product.

Would love your car in it, I have some from when we entered autosalon I could use, but feel free to send me what you have of your own also!

i have a few pics that wouldnt mind showing but i cant upload for some reason. Could u please P.M me ur email address Flick so i can send thru or can see them on http://s284.photobucket.com/albums/ll6/scott_1982_r32/

If u want any, and they're good enough just ask and i can send thru a full res copy

[email protected], send them to there, is easier. Just send what ever ones you like, theres no limit as ill be going through them all..

yeah guys, to make it easiest for flick, and myself too, email all photos of your car you would like to be in the calendar to her email. Photos here will not be used, they must be emailed, will make it much easier having them all in the one spot.

From what ive seen so far there is some good shots coming through. Keep them coming.

hey i just emailed you a crapload of photos flick.

because im emailing them at their full size i can only send 2 at a time...now its got to a point i can only do 1 at a time...woops lol.

let me know if you get them.

could you also let me know if you got the pics of ben&nene's stag..cos i think it failed. actually a few emails failed so i sent pics individually.

let me know how many you get haha. and sorry if you get any repeats

charmaine, get my email? I got 7 emails from you I think. Some Awesome photos there. Read what i said in the email regarding having your name somewhere in the calendar

Ill make a list tonite/tommorow of the emails ive recieved. Im set to see the publisher friday, so really you have until thursday night to get your entries in - plenty of time to set up a few photo shoots if need be.

Ive had a fair few good entries so far. Please, keep them coming!

There will be 12 main photos obviously, but there will be smaller photos along the bottom/side of the opposite page with the dates on it, so ill try include as many members cars as possible into it.

I'd be keen for a calender as well,

and can supply photos

and offer virtually free photoshoots for members cars. just pay a minimal contribution to my petrol fund and I'll give you my time/equipment for FREE...lol includeds photoshop work etc.( first come first served)

available just about anytime day or night for shots or even shots merged into far away places ,other planets, etc..lol. you name it ..lol

or i can supply the HI RES photos(up to 25-50mb each uncompressed sizes or jpeg sizes as well) from past cruises for those who want a hi res photo for the calender,pm me if u do?

flick or charmaine get in touch if you need help ?

Troy, would love some of your photos, send me some through to my email that you think would be good for the calendar. Ill leave it upto you to pick which ones you want, but send as many as you want to.

Think people should take you up on your offer in the next few days for some good shots for the calendar!

Lol Troy, you're stealing my business! :D Jokes...hey just off topic, when i first joined up here, i organised myself a photography cruise for SAU...maybe me and you could join forces and do something similar. Was a pretty good cruise in the end and i filled my 2gig memory card haha. Could definately make something of it :)

Dev's if northerners want photos....cos we both live south! haha :( Although petty for my laser is cheap IZZZZ now that prices have gone down.

Sent another email too flick :(

is there a dead line to have the photos in by guys? i met jack baker (i think his name is) last night. the guys of takes heaps of pics at drift.

going to see if i can get him to get some shots. just waiting for him to give me a call :P

im going to be organising a betting pool for the abuse to follow the calander that will no doubt happen over who's cars shoulda been included and who's should not have.

betting options are;

1 page worth of abuse

2 page worth of abuse

3 page worth of abuse

4 page worth of abuse

5 page worth of abuse

if you could let me know flick before you post final pics of the calander :P

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
