HOT IMPORTS wanted to star TV commercial (Melbourne -AUS).

Greetings-

I’m currently casting for HOT CARS for a series of five 15” second television commercials for a car related product.

I’m looking for HOT IMPORTS and a modified V8 COMMODORE. In the commercial each car is put on show detailed like its being presented at an import car show. Rather than shooting standard factory models I want to showcase the hottest modified vehicles here on the Melbourne import scene.

There will be more glory than money for the featured cars but I thought that this forum would be a great way to network out to the scene.

We are looking at shooting shooting around the 25th July.

If you are interested send me through shots of your ride and contact details to [email protected]

Please direct phone inquiries to Alison Lockwood on 03 9674 4000.

Thanks.

Jolyon Watkins

Free bump to get the Monday morning prime time viewers. :D

Sounds like fun and there are plenty of cars that would meet your requirements. Mine unfortunately is built for go and not show. I call it the Picasso. Looks great from a distance, but is a bit messy up close so I'll decline the offer. I also lack the prerequisite monster body kit to be the archtypical Jap import showcar.

Oh my god...

this is the man who made the Addicted to bass video clip... wow. Check out his portfolio, he's pretty experienced in the car on film area.

This would be perfect exposure for the club and for you're cars, so get off ya lazy arses and get on the commercials!

Guys-

I want to thank you for sending in your shots.

There are some wicked beasts out there- I recieved more Skylines than any other make- A credit to the strength of this forum.

I haven't had a chance to get back to you all yet. We have a pretty tedious approval process between ourselves and the ad agency and the client.

If your're in the final mix of cars our people would have contacted you on friday (23rd).

I'm shooting this week (28-29 July).

4 out of the 5 commercials are for Japanese cars- one is for an aussie V8.

The V8 script is a streetfight standoff between a gang of skyline owners and 1 aussie V8. The single shot will be identical to this shot in the movie Blade. The V8 will be Blade - the skylines / owners creeping into the edge of the shot like the other vampires.

I'm out of money - to pay for these roles- but if you want to bring along your ride (as long as its not white- hard to photograph) and have a bit of fun - write me back on [email protected]

It'll be for about 4-5 hours after hours on either wednesday or Thursday night.

Cheers Jolyon

maybe one of these days we'll get a bit of footage made up and get you to direct :)

Are the ad's you're shooting for Australian airing or for overseas?

I like the blade idea... have to ask tho, at the end do the Skylines beat up the V8? lol or is it going to play out like Blade where the skylines get their hides whooped by the V8? Either way... it should be fun.

Good luck!

    • Yeah I've had too many issues with knock off's on the BMW's. I don't want to do a job twice or more because the parts are shit.
    • I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p
    • Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!    
    • So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat. 
    • Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
