A few of you seem interested in being my guinea cops and getting some free pics out of letting my take photo's of their cars, but i havent been able to do much to make this happen yet.

To fix this i'm proposing a photoshoot cruise, for anyone who wants their cars photographed, or wants to take photographs of cars.

I havent been on a cruise for a long time, so i'm not sure on the exact route but i've got a few ideas and any suggestions would be welcome.

My general plan is to start somewhere naturally scenic in the afternoon, say near the water somewhere or up in the mountains. As the light fails start heading towards the city to grab some night shots and take advantage of the artificial lighting, grabbing some in-motion shots as we go.

As for when, dont know, majority rules really, but i'd say that a weekend would give us all more chance to go where we want when we want, although i'm not sure what the rozza's are like near the city now.

Who's up?

well... forcast for this weekend looks crap... cloud and storms, a little sun would be nice me thinks... so i'm thinking maybe next w/e assuming its looking clear-ish.

Also route wise... what do people think. Palmy to the city. mountains to the city.... south to the city??? any others?

Palmy to the city Via McCarrs Creek Rd FTW!

Cloud and storms could work in your favour for photos, as long as it doesn't rain.

anyway back on topic...

Goldzilla, your right, clouds and storms can make a picture look a special, i just get grumpy when i take shots on a grey day and theres nothing to really make the paint shine.

But rain can be great at times... more reflections :P

08r, if it turns into a full on cruise thats fine, i'll just concentrate on getting pictures of the current mob first and foremost. So yeah quality over quantity. First 10-15 people get priority. Anyone else who wants to tag along is welcome.

Ok palmie to the city via McCarrs works for me, i want to make sure some of the trip is on multi lane tho so i can drive up beside you all.

Hopefully the car park at Barrenjoey (or however its spelt) is emptyish.

So unless anyone has any objections, shall we say next weekend (20th) first 10-15 people in get priority??

If we get less that 5 people or the weather looks crap then we can look at moving it.

guess its just a case of figuring out the route and places to stop off.

    • That's probably OK. That's a face to face compression joint between two surfaces with the clamping load provided by those bolts. So.... it's unlikely that the bolts will end up feeling that load in shear, unless the clamping surfaces are not large enough, bolts not got enough tension on them, etc etc to prevent the two faces from moving wrt each other. Which... I would hope the designers have considered, seeing as it's probably one of the most important things the upright has to do apart from resist collapsing in its own right. But yes, it would definitely be worth asking them what their safety factor on that part of the design was. I tend to think that the casting, being a casting, is not necessarily the strongest bit of material in the world. It's about an inch square, and when you think about the loads that are being put into it, you have to wonder what safety factor the Nissan boys (and every other OEM engineer who has designed all the millions of other uprights that look essentially the same) used to account for defective casting, aging, severe impacts on the wheel, etc etc. 
    • Those bolts would be orders of magnitude stronger that cast aluminium though.  And its mainly clamping force, not shear they are dealing with?
    • Except all that twisting force that is breaking a cast piece, appears to be going through 4 bolts in the picture Johnny posted of the BryPar one...
    • The smart approach is to use the gearbox loom from the manual car. Makes it a lot easier - just plugs into the switches on the box and plugs into the main loom up near the fusebox. Then you only need to deal with bypassing the inhibit switch. The other approach requires you to use the wiring diagram to identify those wires by colour and location, perhaps even indulging in a little multimeter action to trace them end to end to make sure, and then.... you will have the answers you need. The R34 wiring diagram is available on-line (no, I do not have a link to it myself - I would have to do a search if I wasn't able to go to the copy I have at home).
    • Hi, i’m converted my r34 4dr auto to manual but need help with gearbox wiring. There are bunch of wires no idea which one for speedo drive, neutral, reverse can anyone help me. IMG_6860.mov
