Anyone coming along to this on the 12th October?

I'm really keen to jump on a track with something with a bit of power because I have only really driven 4cyl cars on a track.

On that note did anyone see that article on TV last night about putting young guys with powerful cars on a race track and seeing whether they could drive or not? I missed it but was keen to have a look.

Alex,

I missed the story on tv, sounds like it was pretty one sided, still would have been good to see though.

Im not gonna be able to get away from work to go to the track day

:) , im sure you'll enjoy chuckin the 'line around wakefield though, 2nd gear & clutch chucks on the left after the horseshoe & then again on the last corner before the straight, yeah baby!!!

On another note, not to corrupt the thread or nothin, how many peeps on here are actually insured? I have full comp on my car (until the end of the month) and am now for the first time having to consider sellin the beast because i may not be able to get cover! Is anyone paying under 3K for full comp or am i dreaming?

Shannon,

I just recently went through renewing my insurance on my R33 GTSt.

I went through Young & Cool, they gave me Full Comp for $2,400.

And as a bonus I am able to pay by the month :D

Another option would be Just Car insurance (was insured with them previously for $2,500) but I had to pay my premium upfront!!!

Other than that I'm not sure who else you could go with!!!

Shannon, I pay around $1400 thru Suncorp...but I'm over 25 :(:)

I hadn't planned on going to Wakefield (to be honest I haven't even read the thread :D ), but if a few of you are going, I wouldn't mind cruising up with you and spectating!

hey whytry, I'll cruise up there with you if you're going at that time! I work nightshift so that'd be perfect. Let me know if you're still keen to go :uh-huh:

    • For sure, bromance with common shit box interests.
    • People like Johnny Dose Bro might be laughing at my post because I accidentally added 100mm to my numbers. 350-355 is indeed the lower limit. 450 is off-road Skyline spec.
    • 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.
    • Aren't we already on one? SAU unforgettable bromance.
    • Easiest way to know is to break out the multimeter and measure it when cold, then measure all the resistances again once it gets hot enough to misfire. Both the original ignitor and the J Replace version. Factory service manual will have the spec for the terminal measurements.
