just a quick update, the committee has decided to make it open to members only, but available for sale to the public. Basically as an incentive to those that paid to be members.

$50 ain't a bad tradeoff for a sticker, a lanyard, the option to get a cams license AND to be in a photoshoot.

narkeh, what about that boatyard you me n ula did some pics of our cars at?

Only 4 cars turned up today. 3 members and 1 non-member.

Greg was not to impressed with the light @ 6.30 so we had to wait a while B4 taking any shots.

Not to sure how the shots came out?? Greg can you post some pics of the shoot up? Or do you want to keep it under wraps for now or untill product is finished? Anyway, you can send the shots of my car to [email protected]

Next location????

well well be shortlisting the candidates, but so far we don't have enough to fill up 12 months so atm its open to any member

well if thats the case i will turn up to the next shoot...

if it wasnt stressed in this thread that only the names on the list turn up today, i would have rocked up...it seems there were a few cars only.

The shoot was really a test, but now I have a good idea as to what we're dealing with. Sorry for making you guys wait so long - I think the best way to attack this is just to get one or two cars at a time, and work from there.

The earlier shots were OK but nothing really stood out. I did manage to get some great shots of Matt's car later around 8:30-9pm which I believe are keepers so I'm confident we've now got one month down at least.

-Greg.

greg, do you wanna post up a timetable of availabilities, and locations you wanna try out, and then we can get the fellas here to put their names into allocations to meet up with you.

Here's some availability:

Thur 30th Dec - 18:00-21:00 - Anywhere?

Fri 31st Dec - 07:00-09:00 - City area

Sun 2nd Jan - 18:00-21:00 - Anywhere?

Mon 3rd Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

Tues 4th Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

Wed 5th Jan - All Day - Anywhere?

I'd like to have 2 or 3 cars to shoot at any time. And also, shoots can take a while so be prepared to wait.

-Greg.

I'm keen for shot's in the city... but not on NYE05... can another day be allocated for the city too?

Put me down for another shoot on either 3rd all day or after 6.00pm on 4th if you think I need other shot's done (last location was not ideal - my pick :D)

Can ppl start throwing in some ideas for good locations so we can pick and match according to Greg's timetable.

this should definately be a spot... apollo bay and the park in geelong which looks out onto the bay

these were taken 2 years ago

also some shots around the city with some views of melbourne landmarks....

also added a few from my uncles farm which is quite scenic...

theyre in the gallery.

Farm is up in Seville... around the lillydale area.

im sure he wont mind us coming out for a photoshoot on the weekend as long as we arent being stupid etc.

just remember that if u do wanna do it out there that guys with lowered cars will need to take it ESPECIALLY careful as the roads are bumpy, gravel and potholed.... but nothing the soarer or my cousins mates extremely lowered skyline cant handle.

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
