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!

    • 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?
