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.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
