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.

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?

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!

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 ...

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
