are you saying you didnt like it?!

you my friend, are DEAD to me.

Lol, I didn't mind it but I did find it a bit boring. It's a really nicely made clip so I'm not faulting the production values. But, I thought I was going to see some racing or discussion about the Euro import scene.

I'll watch the other videos when I get home from work and can access YouTube.

LOL oookaaay so there was a lot of build up and not much of a pay off other than some drifting clips and some nice car porn, i still thought the production values were almost at the level of arthouse cinema and even better than some mainstream movies (as mentioned) now if only these guys could get a script together and make something that truly reflected the car scene in all its glory and without all the hubris, silly physics and corny lines of the FnF movies. I have watched a lot of knock offs of those movies too nothing comes close to the Furious series yet except this 5 minute clip. Again its begging for a story and some dialogue.

keep us posted on versie 2 but for now that would be an awesome template to base a promo video for SAU nats on, what kind of insane camera gear/lenses/lighting rigs would we need to capture quality like that though?

eric?

Some of the footage appears in other videos, so it's probably accumulated (even though it has a date, it wasn't done in a day). So overall just that short 4mins 30sec or so of video would have taken the span of a few weeks to film. Lots of locations, different times of day etc that you can pick-up watching it. Take a good solid week of editing, maybe more to put it together as well.

Ok for a hobbyist type, not so good for a budget :D

Would love to do something similar with SAU Nats it would blow costs out by 3x to have a paid production crew to get that level/amount of varying footage into 3 days as well as there would need to be 4-5 camera men with quite a varying array of rigs etc. :)

Great videos in this thread though. Good fun to watch.

well we could do something similar, wouldnt be as epic i guess but along those lines with a few members and their cameras running around. We have till september right?

I was surpised how good it looked just having someone standing next to/getting out of their ride with the right expression (of earnest yet deadly seriousness) and the right backing music. Would be interesting to do the same with a bunch of our more prominent members..

oh and im confused why so many of my utube links just dont seem to hotlink, i put them in the 'insert media' thing, i dont put the url in it..same result :(

What was the point of the first vid? I thought I was about to watch a documentary or something. What I got was a 5 minute mish mash of various cars and "the fast and the furious"-style meets.

So I wasn't the only one who was sitting there going "WTF is this shit? I want my 5 minutes back!"

There's even a shot where a guy is filling a car and he looks like Paul Walker!

SRSly, wtf was that shit? What was so "great" about it?

It took four and a bit minutes to see a shot of a car being driven (Other then to park it) and it was a car spinning in the dirt!

I think you totally missed the fact it would cost 3x the current DVD cost.

Which makes it impossible.

yeah but your talking about getting equivalent rigs and hiring professionals etc

im talking about just getting a few guys who are keen to volunteer their time to take a couple of quick vids at meet ups, track days and the like. How hard would it be to have a few blokes line up beside there cars and stare off into the middle distance?

It wouldnt be promo 'we win the internetz' quality but i think it would look pretty good for an amateur club production and even if it didnt it certainly would be fun/educational making it.

just my 2cents.

Will be car less for a few months so happy to be ferried around and be on camera duties, volunteer at track days etc.

Anyone remotely interested in cars HAS to go see Eric Bana's Love the Beast ASAP. I watched it for the second time today (after i saw it yesterday).

Jeremy Clarkson, Jay Leno and dare i say even Dr. Phil had a spectacular input on the movie.

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
