The NSW branch of SAU approached Kory(FST515) and Myself to organise a shoot with the upcoming calender in mind. The brief was simple, "showcase some of the best vehicles this club has to offer." Ok, we can do that. We decided early on we wanted to offer something different to what's been on display before. We decided we'd do something a little different and offer you guys a bit of something special :down: You'll see what I mean.

I think everyone had a good time on the day, Dinner was awesome.

Massive thanks to GOLDZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for all his help on the day!!! :D

Thanks to all the guys who came out (and their partners/friends)

Anyway. Here's a few shots. We'll be posting more over the next week as get around to processing them. We hope you all enjoy them, i've printed one so far and it looks amazing in print! Can't wait to see the finished calender!!!

If you're interested in having your ride shot professionally and getting some super awesome shots, send either of us a PM. Our respective websites are listed in our sigs.

Enjoy!

FST513*** lol.

Massive thanks to Nick for being our chaffeur for the better part of half a day. Thanks to Brian & Partner, Steve-O, Nick, Duncan and i have forgotten your friends name - Sorry! For coming out and sticking around for so long.

I see Bri-dawg is watching with eager eyes! Won't be long mate! After i play touch i'll post up a shot of your car.

Here's some of mine, i hope you like them!

Great work on the photos boys!

Sorry couldn’t hang around all night would have loved to get some shots of our R32 GTR with the see through bonnet look they look fantastic and how do you do that?

Bianca was trying her best but was getting very sleepy after a big day and 39 weeks pregnant and still had to drive back to the Southern Highlands. Will have to arrange another time with you Matt to do some of those shots at night.

Look forward to seeing all the shots.

Wow didn't realize she was at 39 weeks! What an exciting way to be born though (if it happened). Even if your leather did suffer!

The See through bonnet thing is just multiple exposures combined into one. So you take one with the bonnet up, then take one with the bonnet down and layer it in photoshop and then use a layer mask to make it "see through".

Can't wait to see some shots of your car painted Brian, i'm sure it will look amazing as always.

Hey fellas,

Started the behind the scenes video. I'll need some of the photos in good res to put into the video - a la [shutter sound] photo spins down on the video frame (I think my software will do that).

Good stuff, loving all those fantastic shots.

Kory and Matt, you're more than welcome for the "chauffeur service" on the day - I learnt some photo techniques from you guys too, so it worked out well. Win-win situation!

Here's my effort on my friend Evan's R32 GT-R, which he'd bought that same day and decided he'd surprise me with.

Once I properly* process the photos of the other cars that attended, I'll post them up.

*Disclaimer: the use of the word "properly" is relative to my lack of skills using PhotoShop and LightRoom.

My only regret is that I couldn't take action shots from the car and drive at the same time, but looking in the rear-view mirrors and seeing (and hearing) two or three GT-R's so close to the back of my own car was AWESOME x11ty!!!

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
