Hopefully there wont be any holdens there with red and blue lights on the roof like last time we met at Monash Uni Carpark.

that was a bad night. Good turn out, but bad night for a few people.......

yeah no shit. dont want another yellow sticker on my windscreen again!

but i rkn we shouldve got everyone to PM for the details, like we said after what happened last time...

how easy is it to open a account with SAU, an for ANYONE to PM me? :P

the other meet should of had a '' diffrent '' heading from the one that was posted on SAU... which atracted the poilce

do we get the police tracking our meets for the GOR??? or them waiting out front when we finish DECA?? or when we had OVER 40 CARS at the last east meets west

I THINK it was the heading, as history has proven

..nah...they werent, just public vic events...but I just think we should at least try to keep the cops out of events like this.

I bet if it was any of you who got ass raped like me last time, youd feel the same.

Not just out for myself but for everyone...

It's been raised at committee meetings, and I can see where you're coming from Mat.

It was decided not to go the PM route as like AP said already, its easy for anyone to PM asking for the meet point...Also these meets wouldn't be the same if only the regulars were notified...they'd be a lot smaller.

There's been plenty of meets in the past like these that have gone off without a hitch...the last 1 had some extra attention, and now thats the only meet people seem to remember.

This is just a social gathering. Anyone expecting springnats, or wanting to go for some midnight club togue runs, this is not the meet for you.

lol thats funny, if you that worried about the cops dont own a skyline.... if your going to own a Skyline you just gotta deal with it or not go on meets and cruises...

dont forget it just takes 1 cop to see a bunch of cars and they can get on their CBs anyway so why stress about them reading it on here either way if your car is worthy of a defect then your going to get done anyway sooner or latter??...

i dont think the cops go looking for shit like this as much as u think. after autosalon on sunday as we were leaving there were cops outside waiting but even then they wernt stopping the cars...

i should b coming to this guys, nice an ealry which means the night is young wen it ends and partying can still happen.

Couldnt agree more!

Since 2002, i've only ever had police rock-up to one event i've attended (and it was with the commodore club for a charity event).

A simple chat, and all was well. As long as people are respectful, it works both ways.

And ive organised a lot of open meets, hell for the first two years all the meets were open (no club existed).

Yeah your going to maybe get the odd mr plod who thinks he has a point to prove, but overall, paranoia serves no means for cruises if people are doing nothing wrong.

Ill be @ the meet point out east for a bit, doubt dinner though as ive got other events to attend that night

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
