OK here it is....finally!! :P

(sorry I've taken so long to get this going guys!!!)

This will be a nice relaxed cruise where we can all get to know each a bit better, and it's a nice drive too. The final destination will be Tallowa Dam, near Kangaroo Valley, for a BBQ, chat and (of course) a photo opportunity ;)

Itinery:

Meet on the Hume Highway at the ILLAWARRA HIGHWAY turn-off at 12-12.30 midday. There is a big servo (BP I think) just near this exit, we can meet there. It takes about 1 1/2hrs from both Canberra and Sydney to get there.

12.30-1.30pm....Cruise thru Moss Vale, Fitzroy Falls, the mountains near Kangaroo Valley (lots of twisties :D ) and into Kangaroo Valley itself....

turn off to Tallowa Dam, 20 kays, and we're there. Scenic views, large car park, BBQ area.

1.30-3.30pm have BBQ, chat, take pics etc

PLEASE BRING ESKYS (Neil i know you will lol) WITH FOOD, DRINKS ETC

3.30-4.30pm cruise back to Hume Highway

4.30pm Head back to Canberra/Sydney ;)

Canberra ppl....i think we should meet at the Shell Gateway at about 10.30am...does that sound ok?

Sydney ppl....can someone suggest a place for you guys to meet in the morning?

This will probably be our first "official" SAU NSW cruise...so please come along and help make it a big one! We will have some interstate guests (Skyzerr33 & Kyles from WA, and funkymonkey from Vic) coming along as well.

OK, well I think that's it! Please reply if you're keen! Hope to see you all there :D :D :D

    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • What is the "compromise" that you think will happen? Are you thinking that something will get damaged? The only things you have to be concerned about with spherical jointed suspension arms are; Arguments with the constabulary wrt their legality (they are likely to be illegal for road use without an engineering certificatation, and that may not be possible to obtain). A lot more NVH transmitted through to the passengers (which is hardly a concern for those with a preference for good handling, anyway). Greatly increased inspection and maintenance requirements (see above points, both).   It is extremely necessary to ask what car you are talking about. Your discussion on strut tops, for example, would be completely wrong for an R chassis, but be correct for an S chassis. R32s have specific problems that R33/4 do not have. Etc. I have hardened rubber bushes on upper rear control arms and traction rods. Adjustable length so as to be able to set both camber and bump steer. You cannot contemplate doing just the control arms and not the traction arms. And whatever bushing you have in one you should have in the other so that they have similar characteristics. Otherwise you can get increased oddness of behaviour as one bushing flexes and the other doesn't, changing the alignment between them. I have stock lower rear arms with urethane bushes. I may make changes here, these are are driven by the R32's geometry problems, so I won't discuss them here unless it proves necessary. I have spherical joints in the front caster rods. I have experienced absolutely no negatives and only positives from doing so. They are massively better than any other option. I have sphericals in the FUCAs, but this is driven largely by the (again) R32 specific problems with the motion of those arms. I just have to deal with the increased maintenance required. Given how much better the front end behaves with the sphericals in there.....I'd probably be tempted to go away from my preference (which is not to have sphericals on a road car, for 2 of the 3 reasons in the bulleted list above), just to gain those improvements. And so my preference for not using sphericals (in general) on a road car should be obvious. I use them judiciously, though, as required to solve particular problems.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
