Hey Guys,

I am yet to finalise things, but I have heard that [cabin] have requested SAU enter as a team to Drag Combat!!

I am stinking excited about this! What I want to know is, how many people would be interested in entering Drag Combat under the SAU banner?

BU5TER - be prepared for a spanking! :slap:

I'm THERE baby!

This is going to be one of the highest profile events of the year in terms of "our" type of motorsport and a big turnout would be superb.

*** To top this good news off, Damien @ [cabin] has made us an offer too hot to refuse!!! The Autosalon guys will be supporting our team entry with special, SAU member-only offers! Details to come but remember, ENTRIES MUST BE IN BEFORE CHRISTMAS to take advantage of the discounted entry ($50) and is for Skylines Australia NSW members only. ***

Stay tuned for a special offer for non-members as well!

Just to re-state what PranK has said though, NO NO_SHOWERS!! I cannot stress this enough! Cabin/Autosalon guys put on an amazing and professional show and it is ABSOLUTELY IMPERITIVE that those that say they're entering with the club ACTUALLY ENTER!

There is still some discussion pending about appropriate classes for us to enter so stay tuned for more details.

SAU in the spotlight - Skyline invasion of Drag Combat - BU5TER running low 11's... I can't think of anything better!!! ;-)

After a call from Damian @ Cabin, it has been discovered that DC has been postponed to the 14th of Feb.

Stay tuned for details.

Update:

I will be confirming some specific details tomorrow with the Cabin guys regarding an SAU team entry.

We will be entering as one group under the SAU banner in both the drag and show'n'shine categories and as such, the SAU entry will be open to SKYLINES AUSTRALIA NSW club members ONLY.

Whilst not yet confirmed, it is expected that all participating SAU team entries will attract a discounted entry fee IF ENTRIES ARE RECEIVED PRE XMAS '03.

CLUB MEMBERS: Please feel free to express your intention to enter in this thread and keep all conversation or chat to pm.

Shit well if B-man is going to come then I'll have to consider entering it strongly...

I will definatly be along to support SAU though and yes... if your not comming then don't say you are... even if your thinking of coming... this is a way of getting the club some exposure and if we say yep we'll have 20 cars and only 12 show then it make us look like fools.

Just a note, I have it on good authority that Damon Dupriez no longer has any ties with [CABIN], after "negotiations" broke down...

So I'm not sure what he's doing liasing club discounts for Drag Combat.

DAMON has broken the association but that's cool because, we are dealing with DAMIEN. Different people all together. Damien Gavin and John Bearman are the organisers and promoters for D.C.

All is well with the universe.

Well, I cant believe that cabin have changed their event to coincide with the 4,6&rotor Nationals in Adelaide on the SAME DAY!!!

Obviously they are not interested in GTRs doing 8 second side by side passes!

Why would Keir & I spend thousands to race in NSW when we have a similar event in Adelaide on the smae weekend?

Munro, Drag Combat will have quicker cars running than yours and Keir's. It's not personal, mate but you seem to think it is. I think [email protected] might be a better place to take your concerns. I'm quite sure you'll have fun running in Adelaide. Maybe you should start a thread about it and not hijack this one.

keen on the DC but not sure if my car can cut it in the show and shine or even the drags. never actually run the quarter mile. although having said that i am keen on running on the new track when the off street drags start. but i'll come and watch for sure and have a few mates who will tag along aswell.

    • 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.
