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!

    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
    • Oh and some up-and-comings; New rear drivers wheel bearing. I'll do that this weekend while the diff is out. The car is already up and the d/c axles and missing exhaust will help with space. This is the last bearing for me to do and I've been dragging my feet on it. I also have some new EBC blue stuff pads for the car and some new brake fluid. I haven't ever flushed the fluid in this car and looking forward to it. I have 600 degree fluid to put in. Not exactly "race fluid" but better than the typical stuff I have been using.
    • A proper clutch/plate type mechanical diff with quite a lot of pre-load and high locking % is better for drifting. Much more consistent in its behaviour. A helical can be annoyingly vague and inconsistent in how it responds under the sorts of abuse found in drifting.
    • Some updates here. I pulled the entire interior out, minus some trim to respray the seats with Colourlock dye. It turned out really nice though I accidentally let the dog in the car after and she scratched up the front seat.  This is what it looked like before, the colour was just washing out everywhere but thankfully the leather was in good nic. Then after the respray   And after the bloody dog jumped in The headliner is out waiting to be retrimmed, but it will stay out now until Nov - see why below. I replaced the stereo/headunit with a period-styled Android headunit. I have no after pics, but I'll get some. This is because of the missing pixels. I tried to fix this twice with replacement ribbon cables but couldn't. Also the bluetooth interface I'd bought for this was crap. Then there's the rusty roof. Pics and info in this other thread. I have decided to get this repaired professionally, but I'll update that thread. This is why the headliner will stay out for now. I'll be getting the roof and bonnet resprayed at the same time the rust is fixed. I also had an interesting issue with my drivers door lock.  For a small period I was having issues getting any 12v power to the car - I mean *any*. It would have no dash lights, nothing. It happened while I was at the shops and I couldn't get in the car. So, we had 2 problems. The most pressing here is that I was locked out. I have only a single physical key hole on the car, the drivers door and no amount of turning would unlock the car. Surely it doesn't need power for this? The second issue is why am I losing all power periodically, The battery isn't dead, its almost like the battery isn't even there. Two issues that were surprisingly easy to fix. You fellow BMW over-engineering lovers will appreciate this. The lock in the door has 5 states; mechanical lock, electric lock, neutral, electric unlock, mechanical unlock achieved at -90 degrees, -45 degrees, 0 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees. Although, the unlock is towards the front of the car, so opposite for LHD countries. Sticking the key in and turning 45 left or right is what is used 99% of the time. It activates the central locking etc. 90 degrees is for dead battery access and, obvs, only un/locks the one door. But because the mechanical lock is never used and is 27 years old, it seizes up. I was totally unable to turn the key far enough to get to the mechanical unlock (At the time of locking myself out, I didn't even know this was a thing). I eventually did it with some vicegrips and teflon spray.  I made a quick vid for other E39 peeps.   The battery issue is totally new to me also - It wasn't making sufficient contact between the post and the terminal. The terminal was bolted on tight, but the car wouldn't have power. After checking the battery with my multimeter I accidentally contacted the terminal and the battery post and the car got power. The battery was only a few years old and in good condition. I cleaned the post and the terminal with a wire brush, bolted it back on tight and never had the issue again. I'm still surprised that despite having solid contact it didn't work. Also, the car was getting Warragamba sized pools of water in the back when it rained. My initial concern was another rust problem. But when I went out on Weds while it was raining and while I had no headliner in I could see a steady stream of water coming through the roof mounted aerial. As this aerial is for the (now removed) car phone I pulled it out and whacked a blanking grommet in the hole. It seems fine now. I'm thinking I might get the hole permanently filled when the rust is fixed. Moving forward and things in progress; The tailgate needs some attention. I have taken all the trim off to clean it all and address some small rust spots. I have partially done all of this but I'll finish it up hopefully this weekend. As all the trim are now entirely devoid of trim clips I have bought a heap of strong velcro and I'm hoping it does a good enough job as any of this trim in good condition is super expensive and usually in Europe as we dont have many of the wagons here. Suspension and brakes!!! This is exciting. In the front; New control arms New sway bar links New lower Eibach springs (the only modification I'm planning on this car) M Sport shocks (these came with the car and will replace the longer shocks in the car) New top mounts Used 540i calipers (stock brakes suck!) New 540i disks and pads (22x296 mm for 528 and 30x334 mm for 540i) New front wheel bearings (thank all that is holy for bolt on bearings!) Annnnd in the back; New control arms New sway bar links Adjustable air suspension arms (fool the car into what the current height is so the self levelling suspension can match the new front ride height) New ball joints I'll also be doing a brake fluid flush while I'm in there. I'm planning on switching the car over to the 16's that came with it so I can clean up and respray the M Sport 17's. They've lost a lot of colour over the years and have some gutter rash. None of this will start until the E90 is back.
