dohmar -as for the repeat of some members cars in the last calendar - that was because there wasnt as much notice and not many people submitted their photos. I DID use at least ONE photo of every car that was submitted - to fill the gaps, I had to re-use some members cars - had to fill the gaps somehow.

As for this time, well theres alot more notice, and alot more planning is gong nto it, so it wont be like that this time!

coolness, hopefully we can find someone with an early model gtr and a 35 *nods* :P

Last calendar was awesome, put me down for two again :P

-D

Be happy to have a calender, hey flick can we maybe vote on the photos used for the 2010 one ? just a suggestion ?

and get a deadline for photo submission ? not to be too picky but some of the photos used were low resolution ones when the hi res were provided for use ?

could have been a designer error or printer error . but hey thanks for putting up your hand to do one :banana:

hey I have some nice shots of luke blowing his chunky dinner on the sidewalk in kadina for the back cover ...lol

kidding!!!! Luke

Hey troy. Cheers for the suggestion, but as for the voting, well im going to avoid that - or it will just turn messy and turn into arguments and dissagreements. I will just do it how i did last time. What looks best on the printers screen, is what will be used..

As for a deadline, well as yet there is none, it wont go to print for AT LEAST 6 weeks, so I guess thats the deadline, gives people pllllenty of time to organize photosl. Take time people - go out on a sunny day, experiment with angles, backgrounds etc. That said i DONT want photoshopped photos, pure natural photos are best, thus why some submitted last time werent used, they were too edited and well.. tacky looking, not what SAU is about. Show us YOUR car, not what u can do to it with a bit of editing..

The photos i used last time troy, were the best i had to work with out of what was submitted. Yes, some high res ones were left out, they just didnt look right when blown up on the printers screen.. 80% of the planning and design is left upto my printer/designer, she says which photos are best for use and we go from there.. I had to usesome low res ones, as its the best i had of that particular persons car.. and i wanted at least one of every car submitted.

So.. forget this years calendar, lets move on from that one.

That said, any ideas are welcome, but in the ends, its upto my printer and she she can do.

so keep submitting people! Make them stand out - make them different from the usual boring photos taken from your backyard. experiment, get together with some other members and do some group shots. Keep them coming!

:)

Guys, would everyone like to organise a 'photoshoot day' for these photos. Get them all done at one time and that way if you dont rockup then you dont get the privlage of being in the calander and then if there is over whelming demand we can have 2 or 3 cars in the one photo and then noone misses out :)?

I would LOVE a photo of all the GT-R's in a line, if someone has a first Gen GT-R in Adelaide that would be fantastic too but I don't like the odds of that lol

I'm dragging out the photo gear for Dyno day and will be there for photos all day. plus maybe some after depending on weather, location surroundings etc

otherwise Im game for a photoshoot day in the near future if the weather holds off a bit ???? I have some new interesting spots for photos

thats the plan damo.. I want to include EVERY model of skyline, thus why im giving alot more notice this time, more time to organize and plan it. I may make it a little different this time, to include more photos - see what I can come up with, with the designer. Yes i want to include different cars/members this time, but i will probably also put in small photos of regular, full time members who may have entered last time also - probably not as main photos tho, to make it fair.

I want to keep the front cover similar to last year, with a group shot, so a cruise/photoshoot will be in order.

Good job on the calander for 2009 Flick, it looks nice on my wall. Im sure the 2010 calander will look good in my new home :P .

I will email some pics for this in the next few days. but if there is another photoshoot cruise for the front cover is in order send me a PM whenever it goes ahead I havnt been on a cruise in a long long time.

as i mentioned in an email to flick, SAU dyno day comming up is a great place to get everyone together for some photos,

by the looks of it we will have at least one of each model... hopefully an r35 too lol.

^^ Ill see how I go with that, when is it again? Im probly working. If i cant make it, would be good if someone could take some decent shots to forward on to me.

Iron Chef, I LOVE ur car, always have, if you could forward me some shots would be good. Got some shots from all jap day wth Heslos car? I think it was u two that were parked together, that would make a great pic.

And nisskid - action shots more than welcome! I want to show skylines in all sorts of ways.. from show quality to track.

I encourage u to be creative people! Some of the best shots last year came from Vu who went to different locations, different lighting and the shots were awsome. His were taken in a quiet city street with some amazing lighting effects. So make ur photo stand out!

My car has the fresh dent on the drivers side front 1/4 panel frpm when that lady reversed into it in traffic 2 weeks ago, unless you get a shot from the oppisite side Troy aha?

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
