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.

Cheers

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

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
