Tech Session - Suspension ++ Open To Everyone ++


Recommended Posts

Well that was really good :) good meeting some of yas. Can't complain with a free wheel alignment :) Next tech session should be learning about dyno tuning with free tunes :) .....just an idea.

I'll get the few photos I took up in a bit.

Hey Guys,

I had a great morning! Thanks to those that joined in and A HUGE thanks to Graham, Nick and the team at Fulcrum Capalaba.

For those that didn't attend, here's a quick summary;

** We were welcomed by the Nick and his Team, the BBQ was in full swing - Sausage Sizzle and cold drinks, what more could you ask for!!

** Graham then started his session - Not your boring 'class room' style presentation.

He got a number of OUR cars up on the hoist and then went to town!

We were all in, around and under the cars... look at this... check out that... etc. Full explanations, loads of free advice, etc.

With his 30+ years of experience, there wasn't a question that he couldn't answer!

Unfortunately I had to leave early :D but I think there were 6+ skylines up on the hoist. Every car had a diagnosis - with some more embarrassing than others (damn it, those cheep tyres!!)

another HUGE THANKS to the Fulcrum guys.

I didn't find the session to be a big 'sales pitch'. Please support them when and where you can!

I know Nick will do a great deal if anyone needs parts or service! - 07 3390 3900

** Keep a look out for the next Tech Session - well hope to have another one in approx 4 to 6 weeks.

Cheers

well done to the event execs and dan for setting it up. chris has summarised it all quite nicely and i won't say much more on it.

it was good to catch up with everyone and put a few names to faces.

ToMMah, never realised who you were :blush:

sorry i had to leave early, had to go to work.

how'd his head bruise turn out by the end of the session?!

i spoke with nick also and they will honour discounts for club members across any fulcrum outlet (just make sure you call nick first so he can organise it at the relevant outlet). just let him know you are a club member and show your card.

    • Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway  
    • Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.
    • I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.    
    • Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>
    • I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
