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

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
