PGA's Photoshoot for Zoom Magazine

[natturboq]

Pulsar Group of Australia -
Photoshoot for Zoom Magazine

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q215/TurboQ/PulsarClub_025.jpg

Bright and early Sunday morning on the 22nd July 2007, 22 PGA members gathered at Eastern Creek. They were stuffed from a hard night of washing and polishing their pride and joys (some from out drinking all night). All excited to have their Pulsars in a Zoom Magazine article.

Greg Conway editor of Zoom Magazine attended to meet and greet the group. Greg gave a quick run down of what were to happen after the shoot, and awarded AussieN14 A1 for effort as he turned up with his car on the trailer after becoming a victim from Wakefield Park the day before.

The Photographers soon arrived and we were off to the photo shoot location with out Ringers who was still sleeping.

AussieN14’s car was the first to get into position, pushing it down a huge cul-de-sac. One by one the cars were instructed to line up, mixing it up by mainly colors. Finally Ringers arrived and a quick spit and polished was required to shine up his car.

After 2 hrs of mixing and matching, tooing and frowing, and the ute being moved backwards and forwards with the photographer standing on the ladder we almost didn’t have a photo shoot because the photographer was almost thrown off the back of the Ute. The cars were finally lined up. Top effort to Little Rabbit (Tony and Mandy) and all the PGA members for their good manners and patience’s. Looking at the pictures they speak for them selves. (A job well done)

After the members left and headed back home, 5 were still not done. Natturboq, Nic Nic Moo, Yolski, AussieN14, and PAULWALKER23QFTW (Ringers) all had individual portal shoots and quite a few different angle shoots of their pride and joys.

Top effort to all for attending and making it such a fun filled day.

[Grimo's_N14]

looks smick, better in real life :thumbsup: :p
got ur mainfold leak fixed yet nat??

[natturboq]

Personally think that the stormy dark grey clouds didn't do me any favours with the silva car :(

But over all the pix are all awesome.

[CoZZm0]

The photographers were saying that cloudy times are the best for them to shoot because they can open the apature up to get more detail and there are no shadows, it sounds weird but somehow it works... blue skies and sun reflections look nice though on a shiny car...

[ooie]

Whats with the top plate above your inlet runners nat?

Is that where the top mount used to be?

[Cracksta]

nice work guys.

[CoZZm0]

covers the messy inlet and injector area would be my guess.

[natturboq]

Just for looks and yeah cover the injectors, they are not shiney like Nic Nic's..

My Engine is not a gtir, there was no top mount :p

[Shedevil]

congrats to everyone!!!

Zoom are an awesome magazine, they will be doing a shoot on my BF's mazda 929.

They are all really nice there.

Pics look awesome!!!

[CoZZm0]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING??

[sssbass]

WHY ARE YOU YELLING??
Ebay I would assume. Most likely sentra lights + grille?

im not yelling im just excited cause it looks hot!!!!!

[Kayimages]

Great effort guys.

I could take a few pointers on car photography from those shots too. eg. comparing Nic Nic's #1 and #2 shots. Just a slight tilt makes the difference between boring and OMGFKNAWESUM!

BBQ Nat, new front bar on the 'nugget'? Eye likes!!

[trippinsss]

hi guys and girls

just to let you know i happened to speak to one of the photographers from zoom magazine on wednesday night at wsid and he informed me that our photoshoot stuff will be in november issue of zoom magazine

[trippinsss]

the photographer was looking for the car on wednesday night he wanted to see it go and record the times and stuff

[CoZZm0]

[natturboq]

[DaPulsarMan90]

Can't wait to see PGA represented

[RI330]

[trippinsss]

i thought it was the november issue as i was told by one of the photographers from zoom magazine at wsid one night a few months back
could be wrong

[Alskie]

does zoom have a website??

[trippinsss]

not as of yet it is being built i think at the moment

[Ringers]

www.zoommagazine.com.au

[Ruddigger]

i have that one were not in it...

[RI330]

any confirmation as to when it's hitting the magazine??

[Yolski]

From memory when I spoke to the editor a couple of weeks ago it is in the January issue which should be on sale December some time.

Also nat if you see this.. Greg said the cars that were part of the feature articles are no longer being given an issue of the magazine? Do you know any more details about this?

[Evo]

Greg said the cars that were part of the feature articles are no longer being given an issue of the magazine?

:eek:

Doesn't get much tighter than that...bastards! :rolleyes:

[Bronty]

What!!! That's so stinggey!! What a joke!

[natturboq]

Hey Guys,

Sorry have been off line for a bit with work commitments..

Yeah, I don't know about us getting a free copy of mag. I can ask the question but that's about it..

I'm sure the Mag is on sale at the end of Next month as its Jan Issue not Dec Issue..

Not long to go now guys :D

[Ringers]

Bah, it's only $8 anyway. It maybe the next one release, i'm pretty sure Zoom releases it's mags one month in advance kind of thing. For eg: January is released in December.

[Ringers]

Looks like next month kids, new issue is out and we aren't in it... some fag wankel group is in there :lol:

[Bronty]

GA!! Well it looks like we have to keep waiting. Wish they would hurry up already!

[Nic Nic Moo]

28 Dec nut heads.... the release date has always been 28 Dec...

[Evo]

:lol:

- touché -

[Ringers]

You misinformed us... you never said anything about the 28th :p

[Nic Nic Moo]

I'm sure I told you Ryan...I know I told one person!

[z33]

Just received my mag in the mail and you guys are in it. Some good shots and feature articles. Well done guys and girls.

[DaPulsarMan90]

[CoZZm0]

Just received my mag in the mail and you guys are in it. Some good shots and feature articles. Well done guys and girls.

[Nic Nic Moo]

Looks AWESOME....

[Nic Nic Moo]

But I did see that some of the quotes are out of whack

[shiny_blue]

great stuff! I'll try pick up a copy tomorrow...

whats on the cover?

[RAZ35]

"CUSS AT A PULSAR AND CHANCES ARE IT COULD CHOP YOU"

great lil quote :lol:

well done guys and gals, well done :thumbsup:

[Yolski]

Articles look good.. but Nics right.. some of the quotes are a little mixed up..

And they included a few mods in my article which arent actually on the car yet!

I picked them up on that mistake ages ago and told them to take it all out because there was a few parts that had not been installed yet!!.. I'd like to think with the gt-rs turbo.. power fc a bigger injectors the car *would* be pulling a lot more power than 176kw!!

[Yolski]

Is someone able to do me a huge favour? Pleeease!

Im at work and want to show a few people the pics but can't see photobucket images.. is anyone able to save the images to their computer and email them to me?.. PM me for email address :)

Thanks to whoever can help :)

[pulsssarray]

WOOOOOOOT!!

[Ringers]

Awwww, most of my mods aren't even current anymore and my drunken/hungover pose didn't get in :lol:

But yeah looks tops though, I so should have taken the carppet out of the rear when I took the seats out :p

[Russ]

[toddske]

[Yolski]

[URDRMS]

[Bronty]

To all those rushing out to get it today...I thought the release date was the 28th Dec? Am I wrong?

[RI330]

Big to NAT for organising it all.... Good effort - well done!!!!!

Makes sleeping for two hours that night and rushing to get there worthwhile now after seeing the final result!!!!

[Rad]

[Paullus]

Is there another page? What is the story that is referred to in Ringers profile?

Cheers

[Nic Nic Moo]

Is there another page? What is the story that is referred to in Ringers profile?

Cheers

The story that is referred to is on the first page of the article with the group shot.

Zoom was kind enough to send a copy to me and the rest of the featured cars owners... F*k, ringers car looks clean.

Steve - they thought that showing your turbo instead of your head was a better move! :lol:

[Ringers]

Yeh theres a short blurb about the group etc which mentioned my times and shit... :)

They must have done a lot of photochopping to get my car that clean :lol:

[Mr Plough]

Nice work guys... looks great! :)

[natturboq]

Well it finally happened. :D

Just want to say a huge thanks to all for making it a fun filled day.

I'd say that this is bring a few new members to club once this hits streets..

I'd also like to saya huge thank you to Greg Conway at zoom for his efforts and Tony and Mandy for the awesome pix. :thumbsup:

[gavdog23]

[DaPulsarMan90]

[Ringers]

They all rusted away/broke down on the way to the meetpoint.

[DaPulsarMan90]

[toddske]

Looks good but 1 very serious question...... Where the hell are the N13's???? :D

Mine should of been in it!! But at the time I had a black bonnet stuck on which i could not change and did not want it there with a black bonnet.

[Nic Nic Moo]

:thumbsup:Looks good but 1 very serious question...... Where the hell are the N13's???? :D

When the request went out, there was no N13's avaliable...and as Todd said, his bonnet rusted and couldn't drive it. :rockin:

[DaPulsarMan90]

[cjdexter]

I dont think there will be for years...Zoom is a major magazine, we wont get hot4's or fast fours now.... we started at the top of the magazine list not the bottom...:thumbsup:

[Ringers]

Fast Fours still exists.

[Ruddigger]

long time reader,


Obversely not other wise you would have seen the thread :devil:

[ozspec]

[[vnmsss]]

HAHA I just did the same thing- i bought issue 120 thinking it was it....Doh!

[CoZZm0]

didn't you who bought the wrong one have a flick through or even check the index to make sure the article was in there? lol!

[Ringers]

Zoom has sealed packs... so you can't flick through it... :(

[[vnmsss]]

Zoom has sealed packs... so you can't flick through it... :(

Yes, unfortunately most of the good car mags have sealed plastic for that very purpose, you buy before you try. I like WHEELS and MOTOR magazines as they don't.

[CoZZm0]

oh really? damm, its been so long since i bought a car mag. sorry.

[Nic Nic Moo]

Fast Fours still exists.

who said it didn't??:confused:

They are all owned by the same company... Fast fours, hot4's and Zoom... Im sure he mentioned more that morning too.

[Nic Nic Moo]

Before you go buy it, make sure the cover looks like this:
