Hey all.

Looking for music/track suggestions here to go against a videography that’s in the works.

A mate of mine is using my GTS-R as an example/portfolio content and we are trying to think of some good backing music to go with it.

It’s not the “normal” sort of high/super action video so a thrashing metal backing track isn’t appropriate, nor would pop/top40 stuff.

The video/doco is sort more about the car, passion, ownership and so on with some different camera work to what you would normally see.

Anything instrumental, acoustic. Something rock would work quite well too. Even uplifting/light sorta trance perhaps.

Throw some suggestions out people. I’ll post up the video once it’s completed (2 weeks) as he is looking for some feedback and also some other cars to work on.

You need someone uplifting.

Something inspiring.

Something that says, "THIS VIDEO IS f**kING AWESOME"

You need something that's all rise.

My friend.... I give you Bon Jovi.

But srsly, give us an idea of the content. (pics of cars, is it drift vids? drag vids? Panoramic shots of cars where the cameras rotating around it, etc.)

good camera technique!

Yep - that's what i said to him.

He is traditionally a wedding videographer type but is branching out and trying to go for a different feel. He's done mainly old classic/vintage stuff and sorta wants to move up in age/type and get a feel from people in that regard.

So obviously the "norm" with most turbo imports is drags/drift/high speed kinda stuff with the car in action. This is more sorta people that are cars nuts with more about the personal side of it.

Hence music is a bit harder. it's easy to put classic/vintage to a certain genre of music. Imports etc kinda make it a bit trickier.

As a side point I'm trying organise a discount for SAU-Vic should anyone want something like that done for themselves ;)

Hows he shooting it? Is it going to be full colour or black and white in parts? Car driving but slowed down, stationary or just normal driving?

Is there going to be comentary, such as information on the car, or just the car and using the music to put the feeling of what its like to drive something your passionate about?

Maybe post a couple of still shots or even a few little clips up to help people see what sort of things your shooting for and the style.

I like what he's done with the light in the previous film with the camera in the car while the driver opens the garage door too. And the slow motion scroll across the front of the car looks sweet as well.

Have you thought about when your driving the car and a song comes on and you just are in the moment. Just cruising and enjoying the feeling of the car and what its like to drive something that your so passionate about?

If you haven't done the filming yet some things I can think of off the top of my head that would be alright are:

Moby - "Flower" or "Flying Foxes

Or for something up beat and a happy tune, iIly - "It can wait"

Stafford Brothers Vs. Hoxton Whores - "Wherever"

or maybe, Drapht - "Jimmy Recard"

Anyway theres some ideas. Just a bit hard without seeing the clip lol, Anyway good luck guys hope that can help you out. :)

Don't put an electronic/techas beat to a car video/montage, it's been done a million times before...will just make it look like an amateur YouTube video. And it's too shallow to fully portray passion...agree with something rock or grungy...will try and think of something :)

It's documentary style

It'll be kinda like this which is one he did a few weeks ago:

http://vimeo.com/20471414

So as i said - not super high action or anything like that.

Sorry if i'm going off topic but I spot a R33 GTST at 3.13.

Otherwise, just ignore me and carry on.

      Crank/No Start - R32 GTR Chassis with R34 RB26

      By 89GTR_VA · Posted

      Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?

      Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By BuiltNotBought · Posted

      Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below
