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.

cheers

let us know

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.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
