I'm well aware we have a big mix of non Skylines but the most popular cars in the club are Skylines. The club wouldn't exist if it weren't for Skylines. And well, Skylines Australia Victoria...it's in the name. I don't think any car should have been front and centre to be honest, nor have a heap of cars pointing towards one...but if you're going to do that then it should probably be a Skyline. I'm not trying to Nazi the photoshoot; just putting forth my opinion that I didn't agree with the setup of cars. Forgive me for having the honesty to give you guys some constructive criticism. I'd have purchased a full sized print if I could see more than 15% of my car, as would others I'm guessing. The time of night was probably better suited to individual car shots IMO.

key word.

I think the shoot looks great, and having the only car that there wasn't two of as a centrepiece works. The conditions weren't ideal and you still managed too pull off some great shots, with some clean cars up front.

Thanks for donating your time Joel/Sarah.

Well like I said, You cant please everyone

Well if i know what people were expecting or wanted then I could have planned better, but as we had virtually no light I worked with what I had.

It is this kind of non appreciation that makes me wonder why I should give up my time to do this for the club and its members

I can not belive Joel has had to respond to this thread.

Let me start by thanking Joel and Sarah for giving up alot of there time to make this photoshoot happen.

And im talking picking the location doing the maps getting there before everyone and still being there

packing up after you all left not to mention still being up at 1.40am putting these photos up.

And as for who's car should of or should not of .....f@#k grow up..

This is a thread with a link. Lets leave it at that.

Cheers

i disagree with birds, but i think you guys are getting entirely too defensive over his comment. its his opinion, and if its critical, well i think a professional shoud be able to handle a bit of that. Joel does awesome work, and im sure that everyone appreciates his efforts.

TJ, car looks good man.

i dont. i KNOW joel is a better photographer than i am. i wasn't commenting on the quality of his work, or the effort and time he puts in for SAU.

the last i will say in this thread. this is getting too close to a shit fight for my liking

??

Im confused

Look if the photos were free then I would be 100% on your side and telling Birds to shut the hell up :)

But seeing as you are requesting payment for the photo ($200 for an original size), I can see where Birds is coming from cause after all its a business transaction.

He said he isnt going to spend $200 to see a bit of his car....

I personally dont see a need to threaten the club of leaving because Birds couldn't justify purchasing a photo which barely had his car in it?

Im sure if the photos were released for free, then Birds would have no reason to complain! Its the price tag associated with the photos which is causing the issue me thinks...

On another note;

Very nice photos!

Note: Birds and I love a good discussion on the interwebz :)

un-grateful people annoy the shit out of me...lets not forget the "limiter and gate" whinge!!!

lets all jump on the hate Birds band wagon....

he hasn't said a word on this page, all he was doing was putting his opinion across, and in this country he is allowed too. if people get up set with what he thinks? big deal, get over it, you can't change his opinion, he is a very forward spoken person, if he has something to say, as you can see he will say it.

and we dont need people coming into this thread quoting and then having there say.

this fire is out, stop re-lighting it, people who dont let things go shit EVERYONE.

lets try keep this on topic yeah?

Joel and Sarah put there own free time, to take a group photo for us, and i would hate them to think all were doing in Joel thread, show some dame respect for his work and stop on like school kids.

got nothing on topic to say in here, don't say it.

im not pissed off because its Birds, i would of done it to anyone who rekons they can do a better job than a pro, by all means if he can do better, go for it....no1 said u have to buy the prints....they are really good pics not "nice try". doesnt sound very appricative......

i can go on forever, but the fact is Joel came out for this club and some people complain about his work. i would not be suprised if he doesnt come back again

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
