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

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!

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
