anyway back on topic...

Goldzilla, your right, clouds and storms can make a picture look a special,

Crack out the 1/2 ND's for massive skies. :sick:

I'd limit the size of the group too because it'll get messy real fast if you've got more than 8 cars.

If you want to vary what you are taking photos of i have a 74 beetle that looks pretty good that i like getting photos of. My skyline isn't to noteworthy though lol. So i would be keen if you are looking for something of that variety

Fair call... i haven't had to manage a large number people in photo's before... so lets make it 10....

uurmmm first 10 to confirm their good for next w/e starting from now??? any cars welcome... and if anyone just wants to tag along with welcome too.

Mountains to city. Who doesnt like driving down mountains?

Mitchell's Pass (Blaxland) is surreal atm

A rock fall has closed the ONE WAY section except for the fact that 1 car can get through at a time between a chicane of boulders.

The sign on Mitchell's Pass Rd says at the top, "LOCALS ONLY".

At the sandstone Lennox Bridge there's also a rock wall as a backdrop before the ONE WAY section where the boulders are sitting on the roadway.

not used to the terminology, but i assume that by 1/2 ND's your referring to the filters??? fun thing is, if you do HDR, it automatically turns any gray sky into the coming of the apocalypse, i usually have to do shop pschopping to make it looks less ominous.

That sounds cool, but i have no idea about places and routes through the mountains.

i'm happy to do it but i'd need someone like yourself to plan out the mountains part of where and when.

I looked for Mitchell's pass on google maps without much luck.

Whichever route we dont do this time, i'm happy to do a week or so after.

Ah can't make it that weekend hopefully there will be another one

I'm happy to go down through there tomorrow morning > another post here tomorrow afternoon.

My car won't be in any photoshoot this weekend however, as it's getting a new rear C/F diffuser + new brackets put on.

I'll need to see if the boulders have been removed - or whether they're still sitting there.

The whole weekend's weather is inclement but the rock face looks great with glistening water all over it.

Mitchell's Pass Rd is accessed from GWH Maccas Blaxland where Yondell Ave > Mitchell's Pass Rd

dont worry about not being free this w/e, i'm not either.

I'm hoping that the pass remains closed until later tho... i'd hate to have to go and cause a rock fall myself just to be able to use it again

I'd love to be part of this... just got my baby back after three weeks of surgery :D

But not in the next couple of weeks... hopefully, since you're dealing with small groups, i can be in the next one

as per other topic im in for whatever whenever.. :blink:

Just give me an address for a meeting spot and ill be there..

If you want to tag along Terry I dont mind picking you up to go wherever.

Thanks D for your kindness,

I'll stay in touch as I keep tabs on this thread.

Graduated Grey or Neutral Density filters - google it. :)

Also look up the Cokin filter system as it's better for Graduated style filters rather than screw-on filters.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
