OK, so let's try and figure out a location to do this in. Is Homebush (somewhere around Olympic Park) okay? Pics outside of Acer Arena are overdone, but surely there are some other buildings in that area we could use. Plus, there's an increasing number of places to go for a feed or a few drinks around there too.

What other areas have some interesting buildings (or other features) we could use as backdrops for photos?

Homebush is a good place to start. Doesn't have to be be awesome, this is more like a workshop than a masterpiece.

I'm ok with shooting car and girl separate if that's what most want. I'm not phased either way and to run with what's going on :)

Theres a lot of industrial buildings around Homebush.

If you want something dark and savvy then Alexandria/Redfern is the place to go, but ummmm yeah, they speak for themselves. DAY TIME ONLY!!! Lolz0rz.

Shooting seperately is a good idea. Maybe, IF you want, talk with the model and ask if she will do a few poses near the car.

Remember she will want some good photos for her portfolio too etc...

Homebush seem's pretty central to everyone, it's a good starting point.

We need a date and how many people are coming and what time to meet. After this one, if it goes successfully we can continue to do it monthly :)

I got a beautiful model who could be keen. Will contact her today and ask. Hopefully she will be free. But I dont want to do bikini shots in fron the cars. I think it makes the whole image cheap!!! What are your thoughts?

How does nov 14, 21 or 28th sound? Its all on a sunday. I know everyone is always busy on a saturday.

This should give us enough time to prepare for the shoot.

Let me know whos keen and i will organise two models. Someone else organise the cars. Im happy for you to use mine if you wish.

If we get a lot of interest, then will try and find one more model.

Can someone else recommened a location please so i can let the model know. Im sure she would like to know the location before she comits.

Lets make it happen :P

Any bikini shot in front of a car is cheap. No matter what.

Location will be around Homebush. Just say that.

Print out at a model release as well!!!!

Any of those dates are fine for me i assume at the moment.

I don't think there will be that many people we will need 3 models. 2 will be plenty. It will give the people who have never co-ordinated people/models an opportunity to get rid of there nerves and learn to shoot models.

I'll bring my strobes so you can play with them. Although unsure how long the vagabond will last lol, i'm guessing 2 and a bit hours probably.

We need cars now!!

Can i get a list of people who are keen to come and which dates they are free (14, 21 or 28) - Nov!!

Just copy and paste.

1. Sidd - 14, 21 or 28 is fine by me

I wasn't thinking bikini. i was thinking in an outfit that suits the car, like urban, suit, clubbin, whatever... something that helps tell a story and matches the appearance of the car.

like a race car and a hot chick in a race suit. something along those lines.

or we could do the bikini car wash shoot hahaha.

mad loving the idea of strobes and power. been hanging to use some real lights on a car.

we can use my car, it is nice and clean, although it's standard and not to special... up to you guys. i wont be offended if we want something else.

Nov 14 is good, 21 could be ok... the later we go the more chance i won't be able to get out. house is due for completion late nov. having said that if a later date suits the majority i'm happy to try and work around it, or miss out if it's for the greater good of the group.

Who cares about some lame house your watching get built! You got 25so years you can look at it! :P

Anyhow, i'm in the same boat as Matt. The later it gets, the more i'm not going to be able to make it.

I vote November 14 should be good.

It's true about the girl, but it will be more of a shoot of THE GIRL instead of the car. I still say we split it up and some people shoot the car and then switch and shoot the girl, the other group shoots the car. Then at the end we can combine it.

Oh Sidd, 28th of November is the SAU-NSW Texikhana - you should come to that, and ENTER your Chaser!!!

There's a link in my sig.

Damn that model cant shoot in nov. She is only free in december. She is so beautiful..

Will try and find another model. Sorry guys... But lock in nov 14th. I will make it happen.

Worse comes to worse, i will be the model :)

Sidd will you get your tits out for the boys? :ermm:

Forsters weather is awesome. Gonna get camera out later on

I always go up to Seal rocks/Boomerang beach/Blues Point there surfing. You woulda past it depending which way you went. If you stay on the road that is right next to the beaches, go check it out. I got a fair few shots from up there in project 365, see if you can guess which ones!

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
