G'day Skyliners of Newcastle.

I am currently doing a course on photography at the University of Newcastle. I have been assigned a major project that needs to be completed by mid June for my photography class.

The project i have decided to do is a photo shoot of the SKYLINE family. R32s, 33s, 34s and even older models. Ideally i would require at least one of each of the above mentioned models. I own a R34 myself and thats what i'm working on atm. but i need a few volunteers with their rides to complete the rest of my work. i would really appreciate if a few of you who own a skyline could get in touch with me. we could set a day on a weekend and have a shoot. shouldn't take more than a couple of hours for the shoot.

please feel free to send me an e-mail on [email protected] to get in touch with me and i could provide further details.

typically im trying to get all the cars and their owners to meet up on the same day, do the shoot, have a bbq, beers (Obviously under limit) and basically have fun while we get the job done. [this is only if everyone's free to meet up on the dame day. bbq and beverage cost will be covered by me]

Thanks. fingers crossed for some positive responses.

i've attached a few samples of my work.

Just a tip:

Angle the wheels the other way.

Be careful of the shadows on the other side of the car (eg pic2). Either try and get the whole car lit up naturally, or add a flash or two.

The last pic - you will need a tripod. The whole pic is blury. Looks like low light conditions, so a longer shutter speed is needed.

Also resize your pictures.

Start contributing in the photography section and get more feedback :P

By no means am i trying to be negative here. Just providing feedback to the pics you posted up.

Gdluck.

Hi siddr20,

They are very good tips. i did identify all the flaws that were mentioned and have now improved. these pics were take when i actually started the photography course. i had misplaced a SD card that had all the latest pics of my car. therefore i had no choice but to put these old pics that weren't actually up to the mark.

i will set a date soon and let you all know when to meet up.

thanks again

G'day Everyone..

Finally I've got most of the gear ready for the shoot. i have also decided on certain locations in order to take the pics. any suggestions on locations would be quite appreciated (in and around Newcastle). I have planned to do the shoot on the 22nd of May 2010. So if anyone's free and keen on coming for the shoot please do get in touch with me. i hope the 10 day notice is sufficient for you guys. as i haven't put up enough posts i am unable to send PMs. so please send us a sms on 0431 387 064 or just give us bell on the weekend.

as i mentioned in my first post i am heavily relying on you guys to make this shoot work. I'd be happy to have one of each of the models (R32, R33, R34). more than one of each would be an added bonus for a group shot. The shoot is titled "Boys and their Toys". so there is a chance of you guys being in the pictures.

please feel free to have glance at my latest photo album on facebook. feel free to add us and comment. i hope i have gotten better and the pics r of a higher quality than the ones i first posted. I have just made a reflector which hasn't been used while taking the pics, so dont mind the shadows. it will be rectified.

Cheers guys.

P.S: please to send me a PM with your contact details if you r unable to contact me on my mobile and i will get back to you.

      $5 Clock upgrade for R32 GTR

      By ToothDR32 · Posted

      Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
