I'm in the process of organizing a very restricted photoshoot at one of the Airport's in the metro area. no confirmation of location,Date/time or Aircraft type yet.

I'm looking for the best of each model to represent the Local Skylines, right now I'm restricting it to aprox. 6 local cars, and a few standby

GTR models of course will be first preference , depending on responses

can you voice your interest to see if its worth my time to do it, please???

I can narrow it down once confirmation of dates etc. is given. near Christmas is all I know. so far.

RULES

no rubbish cars please, if it has zip ties or duct tape holding it together save it for another time , sorry no race cars with the exception of R35 models only

you will sign a waver of damage liability and MUST have Full insurance on your cars, all photos will be copyright with limited use by car owner only unless permission in advance, No hooning/acting foolish or representing yourself in a disrespectful manner to anyone involved , speed limits around aircraft/tarmac, walking speeds only

you will not touch the Aircraft or any other equipment without the owners persmission

only one car on the tarmac at a time , possible shoot of all the cars lined up in the end time permitting

time limits will apply per car. target is less then 2 hrs tops for all the car shots.

no other photos will be allowed without permission first, Video of the shoot is open for discussion

prescreened female models welcome to attend, tasteful but sexy clad of course(over 18 only ID required ) and must sign model waiver

each car owner will get a DVD Disk of photos containing useable final production shots in very HI RES, JPEGS only

limited riders and watchers will be allowed to attend, nobody under 18 allowed unless car owner

Rules etc subject to change at anytime.

cheers

i can understand all the liability stuff, no stress. planes aint cheap. and getting a runway aint easy.

but 'all photos will be copyright with limited use by car owner only unless permission in advance'... whats the point of the shoot then? to add a couple pretty pictures to someones portfolio at the expense of 6 peoples time?

i dont see why the participants cant use the photos of their cars (perhaps with the photographers watermark) where ever the hell they please.

limited due to

if a person walks over to a shop and they want 10,000 copys and puts in shops for sale ? is that fair to me , no ?

the car owner would have access to do what they want with the photos, except offer them for sale or commercial print/web without permission in advance

standard stuff for photos Dave ???

since the photos would be able to be blown up to a poster size with degrading in quality ? low res copys no so fussed. but I'm trying to jimp thru hoops to get a spot , aircraft, and of course you can't use ADL for photos without Federal permission escorts etc. so don't even ask if thats the location.

plus the aircraft/Airport owner has a say in it as well ???

I'm not doing it for profit or gain in anyway. just offering some for future use on SAU (promo stuff or ?)? if the owners don't want photos in possibley one of the hardest places on pavement to get photos then they don't have to say yes ? not forcing anyone

plus this might end up to be a charity promo for kids , depending on a few things still ? ( gold coin )

if I don't get enough people interested then I'll just do my own car ? just thought I should offer the option to SAU mates ????

always antaganist aren't you..hahahah

i was simply asking about the very final wording in your rules (new explanation is much'o'better). i dont even bother thinking about the standard 'cant use in your own advertising, cant print and sell, etc' but anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows shit like that, maybe its just me, but the way you worded it originally made is seem as if it was 'you cant even look at the photos of your damn car without our say so', if you get my meaning.

i once knew a guy who fancied himself a photographer who worded shit like that, he'd jump and down screaming bloody murder until he was blue in the face if someone so much as linked a photo of his to a build thread, hence my asking i guess.

always antaganist aren't you..hahahah

antagonism and nihilism go hand in hand. but yes, its one of my many skills.

I guess we are going to the RAAF base

im gonna go ahead and say 'not likely'. i have enough trouble get one other person on base, 6-12+ would be a f**king nightmare, and i daresay they simply wouldnt allow it.

+1 on that, probably be parafield at a guess

you must also wear the colour undies that troy advises...

any other colour undies will NOT be tolerated.

just thought id add another rule to the list.

why no race cars? its not that i care....., just some of the toughest looking R's in adelaide

are track only......

better looking than stock 34s anyway.

need a federal permit at Adelaide airport?

*puts work photos away* :blink:

they get fussy if the see you driving on the tarmac without escorts...lol

and are cracking down on photo's, depending on locations taken... paranoid since 9/11

race cars would be allowed if I can't find enough cars, but then it brings tralers and more time to unload etc into it.

it could be in the evening inside a hanger , so we can wet the floors down to have good reflections off the car/plane

plane could range from Biplane to private jet or old fighter.

the RAAF would be cool next to a F111,F18 or the new F22 that australia bought but I wouldn't hold my breath for that....lol

any controlled airfield needs permission to enter, parafield is included

spoke to the aviation museum already about it

could do a cruise to the shoot depending on location etc.? (or close by if others wanted to do photos afterwards ?)

I parked near a gate on the far side of the airport just off Marion Rd to take photos of my old R33... it didnt take long for Federal Police to rock up and shoo me away.

And then another time me and my mates cruises around and parked there just to chill and a few minutes later Federal Police rocked up and shoo'd us away. They're pretty quick!

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
