Hey Ash,

Very nice work on the vid.

Biggest thing i found is, the R34 seemed to be more of the center of attention then 31. Every time you and mick were being filmed the 34 was thier, you should realy have put the 32 thier as it is the center of attention.

Also some more wide shots of the car, just got up to the part when u drive the car and thier is probly only one or two decent wide shots of the whole car.

Defently need some action shots agan showing the whole car. im not shore if you take it to calder or track meets but if you do would be a good idea to throw these in as Well.

Hope this helps

You mean 31 :P

Dope video, but as some have said defs needs more car. Tidy looking GTS-R though.

Now believe it or not - The car hasn't even had a cut'n'polish yet. The paintjob is directly off the gun at this stage :)

Few minor things to be done like add the sticker kit on, fix the overflow, front lip wasn't on the car etc.

Thanks for the feedback so far guys though either way. I'll be making sure the guys doing the filming see this as this was the point.

Try a few things, get some feedback and so on. You'll notice slight differences with each video (5 they are upto now).

It's all being taken as constructive so no dramas there :thumbsup:

Feel free to embed it on other sites if you wish as well. No issue with that as long as it links to the original.

Hey Ash,

Love the footage, very professional.

Thanks for the insight into your car. Its old school with a modern spin, absolutely love it!

I might head off to Micolour to get some minor refinishing done to my car.

Hey Ash,

Like the others have said this is a great video. I really like the camera work in the garage scenes showing the details of the cars. The dolly work really adds dimension. They also did a great job of varying the interest by use of shooting from different angles but spliced together to make it seem as though it was continuous (like when you get in the car).

I also loved the use of close-up, speed-up and focus. That makes the whole effect look really professional.

IMO the bit inside the car and the drive was too long. You are discussing a lot but after a few minutes I lost interest and found myself skipping forward to get to the next bit. Unfortunately that's how we've trained ourselves now. Anything more than a minute of the same drains the viewers attention. I think it is also more distracting because of the movement and the lovely sound of the RB that I don't listen to you as much. Might have been better to have the camera where the rear view mirror is so that you are talking into it while driving and there is less distaction for those shots as you focus on the driver more instead of inside the car and stuff wizzing by in the side window.

It is also a bit of a tease to hear you talk about the performance of the car but not get to experience it. Some high speed flybys, Deca work or some track in-car would go miles in adding a bit of excitement to the mix.

During the in shop interviews would have been very tricky unless they were using multiple cameras at once. If this was a "budget" deal then they did do an excellent job. It's only barely noticable as they switch from close up to pan that it would have had to have been done in separate takes and try to get the audio and dialog to match. Did they use two cameras? If it was only one they did a surprisingly good job - as you guys would have had to have done too if repeating the dialog.

Let them know well done. I know how much effort it takes to put a production like this together. And well done to you two guys in the interview too. It isn't easy to seem at ease in front of the camera and you did a great job.

Keep them coming! Nice to see some others doing video work here on SAU.

Trashly, all I saw mate, was jibba jabba I like navy Blue Tissue boxes.....

Having said it's sad I cant find/pickup a non-munted GTS-R. The car has come up a treat mate, I'd be super happy with the finished product.

P.S. Hi Mick. :action-smiley-069:

true skyline enthusiast :thumbsup:

perhaps whilst your talking about the mods in the car, you could have in writing in the corner or side of the screen about all the bits and pieces in the car.

and agree with the above, could do with more shots of the entire car from a distance, to capture the whole stance of the car from different angles, maybe from a few different locations.

very cool the way its filmed while driving around, a camera mounted on the rear bumper would be nice.

Very, very well made vid. Also good to see what Ash looks like finally hahaha.

Very tidy car man, glad to finally see some footage of it.

I think every one has mentioned the key things that could have slightly improved the video. Some more drive by footage, some more "performance" footage (I realise this can be hard to achieve if all you have access to at the time of filming is public roads) and also it should have had a shot of the tacho going to around 8000rpm after you said it :P

But nah was really good man, you should be quite proud.

:cheers:

great video, first time seeing your GTS-R to, very impressed!

Hey ash I loved the video brah, but I wasn't really interested in any of the talking part in the inside of the car....it would of been much more effective if you said

"Its an RB26DETT R31 GTS-R, only 800 were made"....then loooked at the camera and said "This is how the big boys do it" Then f**king dumped the clutch smashing the gears into synchronisation each change at 8000rpm and f**king strugling to gain traction caus u were puting so much f**king power through the rear wheels!

loook at the popular japan videos and thats what hapens for instance Touge Showdown....do something like that for your next vid please :)

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
