Have to choose a meeting spot for the melbournites if we're going to cruise up together, and things like that.. full details, etc so its all properly planned

I gotta ring them and get the full details of what time it starts, how much it costs, etc.

More will be added as they post their interest. And I'm going to ring them tomorrow and get the full details and choose a meet spot.

if he told you then it wouldn't be a surprise then would it?

come on everybody else.. even if you've never done drag racing before, its good fun, and you get to see some nice cars. Even if you don't want to drag you can come and watch, it would be a good cruise up in the country. Pricing I would say will be around $50 for as many runs as you like.

Only real requirement is a helmet (motorbike helmet will do).

What: Drag meet at Heathcote Raceway to run your skyline or other car

Date: Sunday 1st June, 2003

Meet: 8:00 melb at Ford Factory - 1735 Sydney Road Campbellfield

Where to: Heathcote raceway

Gates open: 9:30am

Drag Runs:11am - 4pm

Cost: $40 per car for unlimited runs

Spectators: $15 (speak to a person running their car if you want a lift to watch)

Getting there (see attached map below)

General Direction Map: vic_map.cgi?x=2471381.7400&y=4454794.76&level=2

Meet spot for people in Melbourne is the Ford Factory carpark (Melways ref: Map 7, E3) at 8am for group departure at strict 8:30am. Yes damn early but we want to get up ther at a reasonable time to get as many runs as possible. From there we will be heading up the Hume Hwy, onto McIvor Highway At Wallan (towards bendigo). This goes thru Heathcote town, and the track is apparently about 18km from there, I'm aiming we will get there around 10:30am. It is approximately 110km drive from Melbourne

If you miss the original meet point you can just meet us at Heathcote in your own time. If you get there late it doesn't matter, you will just get less runs.

People Not from melbourne

If you're not from melb, you're more than welcome to come or plan amongst yourselves how to get there - just meet us directly at Heathcote

Requirements are:

* Helmet (motorbike or other appropriate racing helmet only. Can't be too old or damaged)

* Long sleeves (for those running their car).

* Doesn't have to be a skyline, but seeing this is Skylines Australia we will mostly be skylines

* Current driving license

Otherwise, just yourself, your car in RWC, plenty of High octane fuel, and your entry $.

Current Attendees

The following have indicated they are coming and running their cars. Please let me know if you want to be added to this list, or can't make it.

Possibles:

* Horus

* Meggala

* Jet33

She said she would get us some trophies made up for our group so we can have runs against each other Although i think some may have an unfair advantage! Bit of fun anyway.

Pretty much all is contained here.. If you have any further questions please PM me. IF you want my number to contact on the day, please PM me :)

For those that have never been before, don't be too put off. I'd never done it before until Calder, and its all about pushing your car to the max and seeing what it will do..and maybe learning from some other guys. Even if its only got a few mods, you might surprise yourself(or some others :P )

notes:

* we would need 50 cars for group discount (don't think we will get enuff)

* yes there will be other cars running that day, as its an open meet

* generally they run 1 on 1 so you can compare you car/driving against somebody else

* um, should i add anything else here?

    • Hi all, I need to get this HKS SLD attached to my stock ECU because I've now got the German autobahn and faster European circuits to contend with.  The car is a manual 2dr ER34 with an AT ECU and I've realised the AT ECU has two pins for speed sensor signals: Pin 29: Vehicle speed sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 2) Pin *58: Output shaft rotation sensor signal (Vehicle speed sensor 1) - *RB25DET A/T model only Before I go butchering this harness, is anyone sure of which pin is the correct one for signal adjustment? The attached document from HKS indicates pin 29 but I found this situation mentioned in the following thread on a different forum (R34 GTT Auto Trans Speed Cut Problem | Zerotohundred) mentioning pin 58 needing to be altered by member zephuros, albeit it seems to be for an RSM-GP and the info appears to be old.  R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-2.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-3.pdf R34_All_Workshop_Manual-pages-1.pdf HKS SLD Vehicle Pin out P59-P70 ER34-pages.pdf

    • 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.
