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.

I got a dark grey 33 S2 2dr GTst, some pics in my profile

wouldn't mind a day out (mrs just had 2nd kid) could bring my tripod if you don't have one( they are a must) , I also get a couple of large stuff bits of cardboard and cover with allyfoil form the kitchen ( just dodge the mrs), they are great 4 lighting dark areas like front bars

also have a mate with a black one that migh tag along

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.

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.

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
