I think a sunday cruise to somewhere in the country could be a goer soon.. followed by a bbq lunch in a park or something.

Was thinking a cruise to Warwick ? 2 hour drive I think from goldcoast area, not bad area.. then back.. Some nice roads to there.

My vote is kind of for "all the above".

A purely skyline track day I'd be keen on, but a lot of people are a bit scared to get their car out there on the track it seems (hey if its going to break its going to break eventually :P). I think this was attempted before by Paul, but not too much interest to make it worthwhile ;)

Other -

I wouldn't mind attending all the above events, but the major factor determining me actually going is funds and what else I am doing.

:P

So what "Other" events do you want to attend?

public floggings?

or

private floggings?

social events -non car related.

Not all of us are into going into the valley and getting sh!tfaced but I don't think many of us would say no to a pint or so on a nice sunday afternoon somewhere. Or a good dinner somewhere central (I know there's regular chilli nights in loganholme)

paintball, laserforce, bowling, ice skating,

Or we could try to raise money with a Car Wash (who's got a bikini :lol: )

Oh and don't be scared of track days people.

we need another dyno day.

The last dyno day which was run by the club was also a very successfull Membership drive, but dont you think it is still a bit hot to run these durning the day? I know we could just find one to have at night, maybe a sausage sizzel for dinner and then do the runs once it gets cooler, like at 3am :(

I agree with slamm, there are heaps of things we could do, I like the idea of a bowling night....?

dyno day!!

it would all be relative so if all the same cars go on in the same time.. on same conditions it wouldn't matter. Dyno if its in shootout mode will have temp correction on anyhow.

great way to check if your tune is "safe" during the summer month

Only been on one organised cruise (not on this web site) to the sunshine coast since i got my car and have to say it was a complete dive. A solid "Group Drive" on some interesting road through the abbundance of dantree avalible to us ending up at some where like natural arch where you can swim and BBQ like Gordon suggested would be awsome. It would seem skyliners are a different breed and enjoy utilising all aspects of their car and not just dumping it, fitting it with the biggest set of rims that will fit the gaurds, driving on the boring free way for an hour to drive up and down the same strip all day. I love a good looking car but i got my car to drive it! which brings me to my choice: skid pan and test and tune events offer plenty of time to socailise as well as good clean fun in the drivers seat

Sorry, bit of a rant :P

    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
    • Continental have consistently beaten the absolute shit out of every other performance tyre in Wet/Damp/Cold conditions and give up a little bit of time (half a second at most) in the dry. Almost like it's engineered for German conditions or something. I'd def give those a try.
