hey all,

i know im prolly not the best person to organise this but smeh. after a talk with jayce today i thought id start a thread about ideas for dates and places for another photoshoot. places to meet, places to eat (i can rhyme fo shizzle ma nizzle dizzle) but most important places TO TAKE PHOTOS :wassup: . so yer. post ya ideas and then i guess we'll get a good day etc where we have every1's cars and no stuupid utes turning up lol.

only real idea i have to put forward is that we take photos etc before we have a bbq so we dont have less cars for photos. maybe meet somewhere in the city. take photos areound somewhere (ideas again) then cruise somewhere for a bbq. sort of like a planned route etc. eg. meet, photots, go to ...., more photos, go to .... 4 photos, move for more photos then head somewhere close to last destination for a bbq

so ideas any1. dates, places, what to do, times, what to eat/drink, and yer

am i making sense lol??

as a side note i'd like to get some of our cars at Ed's one evening and put 3 skylines up on the hoists and have 3 below them and line the rest up in front, as per Richards and my discussion a few months ago. It would look awesome and Ed can use it in his advertising someday if he chooses to.

and regarding photoshoots, new parliment house is always a good bet, or parked and lined up on anzac parade, hmmmm.....try and find a nice body of water somewhere and line the cars up there also.

ill do it for nothing, oh and for places to go well let me see. Most areas are still burnt out. Arrr there would be the molongo river nice and green and some water there. I also know a secret area down by the lake where a coppers log comes out.

also i noticed today, driving up past the big eagle at Russell (sp?) that it would be a very nice location, it's a very pretty area but im not sure on what their rules for cars being around there, because we are all Terrorists right?

I have worked in and on those bldings, if we stay away from the major arears all should be fine, eg main doors (which you cant get a car any where near there) drive ways, and crap like that, they wont care to much.

I work very close to the 'budgie on a stick' at Russell offices and have just got off the phone to the afp guys in regards to this. basically there isnt a prob with us using the area for a photo shoot as long as no direct pics are taken of the buildings. Cos I asked, I am now the point of contact for this (if it even goes ahead) , if we do go ahead, I have to send off an email with a few basic details, such as time, day, approx nbrs etc etc.

The corvette car club have been there before without a hassle, so we will be sweet too.

Cheers, Kate.

the 33gts-t is still faster than a busted 32gtr...sorry richard, had to say it ;)

i aint saying nothing...... (HARSH!!!!)

and also it would be cool to involve sinista in the photo shoot (almost like, its down but not out :P) but i dont think it wud be great for all cars to be getting photos there unless anyone knows a real nice place to be taking photos in jerra? there are a couple hills but i dunno any that have good views. alternatively we just tow sinista to a hot spot :)(id be happy to chip in money for a tow if no one here had a tow truck) what does everyone want in there background? what about a night photo shoot with the night life in the background? we need alot of light for the cars though, just ideas

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
