bloody forum chewed my post.

Ok i havent forgotten about this, but i apologise for the lack of update, works been a bitch.

Start time. sun set is at 1845 it seems, so i'm calling 1800 for start time, gives me some time to use whatever light is left and for people to rock up and pose their cars.

As for destination. I agree... city doesnt look good, i've looked at places with nice lights, easy access and plenty of room to fit cars and move them around to pose them, and the city fails in all counts.

I did a shoot at P1 in homebush on friday and got some nice pics there despite being your typical cliched carpart local, so i'm happy to be flexible.

I'm thinking of someplace outdoorsy with lots of lights around, a nice flat open area would be nice, big car park, well lit building site, a road past an oil refinary etc all sound good to me.The weather looks like its going to be showers and crap, but i dont mind getting wet and maybe the puddles and clouds will give some more reflections to play with.

Anyone know of any good spots like the above?? i know there are some nice refinary type lights out carlingford/parra way but i dont want us all to look like a bunch of street racers cruising into an industrial estate.

Check this out. ns.com is also having a photoshoot on the same day why dont u guys also come along.

Im also a member of HT.net and they both fall in same day :D well messiah wanna check out the link?

Not much lighting out in Kurnell, sorry. My step father manages a portion of the parra refinery. I could ask him where a good spot to park up would be.....or maybe even exclusive access if you like?

Ok I'm not adverse to joining up with them at homebush, looks like they have a free carpark with plenty of room.

If we're going to join them, can someone send the organisesers word and let them know. Also feel free to invite them to the palmie meet up. we can take some shots there then cruise down together.

Jez, having some closer than normal access to a refinary setting would be awesome, but i'd imagine not easy to organise. So if it can be done that would be great, we could swing by on the way to homebush.

Can i just do a quick roll call of all who still intend on coming, i know people have mentioned it above, but i want to get a solid idea before its too late.

Hey Messiah,

Im the organizer of the nissansilvia.com photoshoot. You are more than welcome to join us in our photoshoot. Just no loud music, revving, burnouts and the night will go swiftly.

Do you have a rough idea of how many SAU members will be joining us? NS has around 20-25 members coming. There is around 35 (lighted) spots available at the carpark. So around 10 - 15 SAU members should be alright.

General info:

What: Hardtuned/Skylines Australia Photoshoot

Where: Old Hill Link Homebush (enter via Edwin Flack Ave)

When: Saturday 13 March 2010

Time: 8:00pm

Cheers mate, much appreicated. Trust me, i've always seen revving, burnouts and blasting stereo's as "whos got a bigger dick" contests initiated by people who'd normally lose in an anatomical comparison anyway, so you shouldnt get any grief from us. I'm more interested in getting great pics of great cars.

As for numbers, i've pm'd everyone who's responded to get you an idea.... thats about 10 ppl, If anyone else is reading this... post up if your coming.

Do you want to let your mob know that we're goiing to start things off with an earlier shoot in palmie and anyone who wants some shots by the water are welcome.

So plan from an sau point of view is

Start : Palmie at 6pm

Photo's and meet n greet.

Then Cruise to Homebush to meet up wuth the NS/HT photoshoot which starts at 8pm.

I'm thinking that we can go down mona vale road all the way down into concord then on to homebush with minimal hassles, should give me plenty of time to get pics of cars in motion aswell (althought thats going to be tough)

Should still be ok for this provided I can get some work done on the boat during the day.

Failing that, I will bring the EVO

Yay another evo

Im still in for this bringing my evo and euro (euro is a maybe still)

Yay another evo

In that case, I will bring mine along so we can stand in the corner laughing at all the Skylines.....................wait :)

I'm not sure if I'll be able to make it at all, unfortunately, but if I do end up coming, it will only be at Homebush later on... I've got a few things on this weekend, and apart from a Christening on Sunday, I need to figure out what's happening when over the rest.

    • LS is a good motor, but it hurts my soul when I see it in a RB. Guess it fixes the oiling issues lol.
    • I'm confused. Does this qualify as "Gregging" or are you somehow avoiding the Gregging?
    • More assembly going on, with all sorts of "bolt right on bro" scenarios going on here. Smartly, PTV clearance was checked. And I say smartly because it turns out that the intake was 0.009" from piston meeting valve. This is 0.23mm. This is very not okay. A fast meeting was facilitated between engine builder in Australia and engine builder in the USA which was actually incredibly helpful and constructive actually, various ideas thrown around to get around this issue including: 1) Retard the cam timing which would have brought the exhaust valve closer to meeting piston (it was 0.065") which was uncomfortably close to begin with, and change the cam profile making it 'laggier' 2) Much larger head gaskets which would reduce compression, but half the point of this was to increase compression. 3) New set of pistons ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$) 4) All of the above 5) Get ghetto The concept is you get sticky sandpaper and stick it back to a valve, slightly larger than the valve you/I'm using, like say from a LS3/rectangle port head. You now have a very super advanced flycutting tool to modify your pistons in your block. Then you install it in your head, and attach the other end of the head to a drill. Then you just replicate your valve smashing into a piston with your spinning drill.   This is the result. Repeat many times. It is strongly recommended you have some kind of fixed stop when doing this for extremely obvious reasons because if you press too hard then you're well into apocalyptic repercussion land. The minimum clearance on the intake valve is now 0.075" this is still in the "Too close to be really comfortable" and into "It should be fine" land. Supposedly in the real world the clearances will be slightly bigger. Guess this is what happens when people push envelopes for N/A engines instead of adding boost! Time to move onto the new, upgraded, higher ratio roller rockers from Yellaterra, all tapped and threaded with a stronger bolt for better stability. Very nice. Lets see how they fit. For f**ks sake. Time to bring the grinder out for these aftermarket, machined and CNC'd heads. Looks like the new, beefier rocker from YellaTerra has gone from Bolt on part to "Bolt on part". Well, lets see how this bolt on crank scraper and windage tray goes then, shall we? There actually is more clearance than they specify for this thing, but seeing it all move as you check it is terrifying when you see it all so very very very very nearly hit things. But after all, this is what the item is designed to do after all and actually did bolt on perfectly and have enough clearance to everything and some very clear and direct instructions. So +1 to Improved Racing I suppose. As above with the windage tray on. Photo of breaker bar wonkiness for added lols. Next up: Oil pump/front cover/water pump/sump and then it's time to actually install the heads, pushrods, head bolts, valve cover gaskets and such is all there and ready to go. (except the oil pump bolts which were previously longer for more clearance with the previously perfectly installed double row timing chain). There's definitely a sense that someone other than us has been here before and done everything perfectly, or at least considered it and came up with working solutions. Perhaps the previous cam was 6deg advanced to avoid PTV issues with the milled stock heads? In any case when I attempt to sell this stuff the buyers are going to be very directly informed.
    • my catch can is pretty easy to empty but it overflows due to the blowby/crank case pressure etc. max I have drained is ~600ml even with a ~2.3L capacity. So it is not just about having to drain it out its the mess it makes down the firewall and under the car and rear passenger tyre from the overflow oil being blasted by screamer + air in general. Ending up on the ground cleaning the oil up and having oil on your arms when everyone else can chill and watch the other sessions gets old fast
    • Yeah - the secret learned a long time ago is that the RB likes to belch oil out the covers, and/or starve the pump because it drowns the head in oil, because the upflow of crankcase gases from piston blowby comes up through the oil drain holes in the block and prevents the oil from flowing back down. The external vents from sump are about creating an alternative path/much more XS area for gas flow to decrease the gas velocity up through the oil drains and allow the oil to get back down. So, it's not about pressure at all. It is about flows - gas up and oil down - or when it's not working, gas up and oil not going where it is supposed to after it arrives at the top, except out through the cam cover vents. And regardless of whether the catch can is vented to air or vented to the turbo inlet, it must still be vented because a sealed system would blow out the crank seals, or something equally bad.
