Hi guys,

Just letting you in on a secret hobby of mine. I like taking and collecting pictures of skyscrapers. Is that geek or what??? :D

Anyways, I just wanted to know if any of you Sydney members has a pic of Sydney CBD from showing the newly completed World Tower apartment building from (dare I say) Nielsen Point or Taronga Zoo?

Thanks.

Rezz

I'm doing the harbour bridge climb Sunday at 3pm so if anyone take a pic of the CBD for Rezz on that day, could you also try and zoom in on the group of climbers?

its a bit hard (to take people up on the roof), especially now after spain's terrorist attack (very tight and strict with security) , but can take some pics no problem, just let me know of which part of cbd

ah sweet...not a problem...i dont want any photos of the cbd in particular...i just enjoy photography and like to jump at cool photo oppertunities when they arise..

Rezz let me know what parts of sydney u want as i work in second tallest building in CBD
Just basically what I typed in the first post, just a daytime pic of the Sydney CBD with the new World Tower included.

Cheers for the offer!

ok rezz will do it on a nice day... its been pretty cloudy last couple of days. not sure if my zoom (x10) will be good enough though... world towers are the one on the corner of george and liverpool st... right?
Thats right, 85 Liverpool st... theres another largish building being built going up along side it.

wld33, which building do you work in ? If you can get on the roof I've got a new Panasonic FZ10 (12 x optical) with a 1.7x Tele and tripod which might help :))

Rezz, I work in the Citigroup building so I can try and get you some shots. In the meantime seeing as you like shots of the city, heres a few shots I took on Thursday arvo as I was walking to catch the bus -->

Holy shit Jimbo, those are beutiful pics! I wish I could take pics like that...

Oh, and if you can get some shots of the entire CBD mate that'd be sweet, cheers.

Rezz,

I've got a few images from and of the Bridge, as my sister used to work for BridgeClimb, and because of the number of climbs they have everyday, they ALWAYS have someone on up there with the opportunity for taking a good shot. A climb leaves every 10 minutes, and there's always three (if I remember correctly) groups at various stages of the climb at any one time.

There are quite a few good shots available, but the file sizes are too large (how do I attach thumbnails? :confused: ). There are heaps of good storm shots if anyone wants them, and most are at a pretty hi-res.

If you want any of the shots, let me know via PM or email

Thanks muchly for the offer, but the angle from the top of the bridge of the CBD kinda hides the World Tower afaik, which is what I'm after specifically. But thats coming from me, whos never done the bridge climb... I can't say for sure if you can see World Tower or not. But I've taken pics from the walkway from the Rocks area of the bridge, and I couldn't get Centerpoint in, let alone anything behind it!
Rezz, you do know the world tower isn't completed yet right :P ? Theres still guys crawling all over it ..
What about now (27th March)? Are there still guys working?

Oh, and bump... :P

  • 2 weeks later...

Sorry about the time Rezz ;) Left the pictures I really wanted to post up at work so for now I'll humor you with some others :devfu:

http://jtaylorcraig.customer.netspace.net....au/various1.htm

Down the bottom you will find two pictures taken whilst playing cat and mouse against an RBT ;) After racing through a very strange road, somehow I found myself at a dead end and looking out at a perfect view of the city at night.

The pictures arn't the best as this was after a wedding at 3am, however they giev you an idea of how the world tower fits into things. note, World Tower is the building you can see in the first pic with the blue square ontop, Citigroup is to it's left and between Citigroup and Centrepoint is the AAPT building ....

Once I get back in to work I'll post up the pictures I took of the World Tower during the day ...

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
