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

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

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.

    • This is the clearest explanation out of those: Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension. Basically you turn the engine with the tensioner bolt loose, then use the allen key to hold it while you torque it up. And yes after that a good guide is being able to twist it 90o in one of the long free lengths of the belt
    • good choice....I have a set of those and use them all the time including on this job. Plus, no-one wants a damaged nipple
    • Thanks all, went with nismo strengthened belt and all genuine nissan idler and tensioner Question on RB25DET Neo Timing Tensioner: I have a question about the RB25DET Neo timing tensioner. In one of the videos (minute 20 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17y37BB9xnA and minute 27 of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pb99s2E9xUg), the process suggests tightening the tensioner pulley installation bolt to the specified torque initially, and then loosening it slightly to allow the spring to set the correct tension. Is this the correct approach? The R33 workshop manual on page 74 states: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. The way this is written is confusing. Does this mean: Undo the nut, then reduce the tension by turning clockwise? Snug the nut so it stays in position without applying tension to the belt while removing the timing belt? The manual wording makes it sound like the nut will tighten automatically when you turn the tensioner clockwise , which is unclear to me.   Timing Belt Tension Adjustment Process: After loosening the tensioner nut, you turn the engine two full rotations by hand, which should set the correct tension. Once the tension is set, you tighten the bolt to 43 N·m (4.4 kg·m). Before tightening, you need to insert the Allen key into the hexagonal hole to hold the pulley in place while tightening the bolt. In one of the videos, it’s mentioned that you should twist the belt side to side, or turn it slightly to check if the tension is correct. The belt should turn halfway, indicating the right tension. However, I know that twisting or turning the belt is not a good idea. What are your thoughts on this? Finally, how can I ensure the belt isn’t overtightened? I’ve seen many cases where people have overtightened the timing belt.   Manual Excerpts: Page 74: Loosen the tension pulley installation nuts. Insert the wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole and turn it clockwise to tighten the installation nut temporarily. Remove the timing belt from each pulley. Page 77: Turn the crankshaft clockwise two full rotations with the tensioner pulley installation bolt in a loose condition. Insert a wrench into the tensioner pulley hexagonal hole to fix the tensioner pulley in place, then tighten the installation bolts. Tightening torque: 43–58 N·m (4.4–5.9 kg·m). The timing belt tension should be at the correct tension.
    • Takes a few minutes to malke one. Wood, or steel, or a wrap strap with some strategically placed solids to provide teh drive onto the ribs.
    • I would strongly suggest using the correct tool. They are not expensive and make the job much easier and don't damage the lock ring. Google "fuel tank lock ring removal tool" to see what I'm talking about.
