Hi ,

Just wondering if anyone out there is interested in purchasing some GT-R prints?

The images come from Dino Dalle Carbonare in Japan. You would have no doubt seen his work in HPI and DriftBattle mags.

They are approx:30 x 20 inch (760 x 500mm) and are printed on photographic paper (not some dodgy inkjet, quality LED printing), they come unmounted, delivered in a postal tube.

Also limited range of JGTC prints.

These will be the start of a new range of automotive prints from my business.

The cost will be $80 (incl. GST) + $5 postage and handling. I need to have some idea on numbers before I proceed with a print run.

PLEASE NOTE: Price change to $55 + incl. GST plus postage of $5. I need minimum of 20 orders of print for this price. This is a SAU price only.

Thanks

Yes, I knew the price would be the first thing everyone would jump on but without having any figures for quantities it's hard to set a break even point.

Sadly the images themselves are not given to me, they must be paid for and images of this quality are not cheap. Likewise the printing process is not cheap, but it is the best quality I could find. I'm looking to supply 1st class prints, not cheap crap. There is sadly enough rubbish around already.

I believe that if you look around the pricing isn't as bad as you think, these are not posters, they are large photographic prints. The print is good for 100 years if displayed under the correct conditions (i.e no direct sun, etc).

Selling them unmounted, although you won't probably believe this, is a way of trying to cut cost's. Framed or block mounted would add too much to not only the price of the actual print but blows the cost of delivery out to the extreme. Packaging, insurance and finding someone who can actually deliver them without damage is harder than you think.

Also choosing frames or even mounting styles creates problems, not everyone likes the same thing.

By the way, this isn't some huge company trying to flog you stuff. Just one bloke working from home in between work and family committments.

Keep the feedback coming.

Cheers

Just a quick clarification, the JGTC images are not from Dino but from another photographer in Japan.

Oh, and of course the images you see here are low res.

Don't have any R-33 stuff at the moment, I'll see what Dino has available. Also will try and source some R-32 shots. I know that he has shot Garage Saurus R-32. Must admit it seems like everyone is only doing R-34's now in Japan.

I'm happy to say that the price will drop if I can secure 20 orders of an individual print. I've done a deal with the lab who output the prints and there giving me a discount on a 20 print minimum order.

The new price will be $55 (incl. GST) + $5 Postage & Handling.

Please don't forget that these images are not available anywhere else.

I have contacted Dino in Japan and he's going to sort some images of R-32/33's for me so hopefully I'll have some new images available soon.

Also looking at framing and mounting options again, so stay tuned.

I'm still looking for feedback on what everyone would be interested in.

Cheers

thats good pricing if pics of the 32s and 33's are nice i would consider getting a 32, 33 and a 34 photo. i will keep an eye on this thread.

ps if you are getting a 33 make it the midnight purple one :)

I'll see what I can do for you, but please remember I need 19 other people to want the same image to get the lower pricing.

Cheers

Btw can u get any jap workshop or JGTC RX7's ?

Here is everthing i have at the moment. This on top whats already posted.

Which price were you looking at? I can be a bit flexible price wise on images I already have but anything new is going to be more than $55 for 1 off prints.

I can source images from just about everything in Japan (and Europe for that matter) but to do 1 off prints from images I buy they would up end costing over $200.

(purchase image from photographer + layout/computer + printing = big$)

Not trying to scare people off or go the big whinge but I need to sell at least 10-15 of each print to break even.

Cheers

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
