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

    • 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.
