Payment can be made to:

...

* Apparel is long sleeves and pants, sensible shoes.

The event is run like this:

Safety check and docomentation presentation

Drivers' briefing

One course is set out using cones to block off unused parts of track

All entrants drive through in convoy

First entrant lines up, gets 3 runs, the second two are timed (first is practice / warm up)

Continue through to last entrant

Change course

Another convoy

Everyone runs through again

Until we are out of time.

The event is non-competitive, so there are no awards or anything. The timing I provide is for individual feedback only.

If you pull out you can privately sell your spot and make your money back but all this assures is I'm not left holding the bag and having to cover.

Interest can be shown here with details on deposits and such as soon as I confirm the date.

-Drivers for this event will be required to make it there by 8:30 in the morning to have the cars scrutineered and paper work sorted out, and 12:15 for the afteroon session.

-Entry forms will be sent to me prior to the date and I will email them in about 2 weeks. Forms have to be filled in and on hand when you rock up on the Saturday!!!

- There will be a midday bbq and soft drinks provided :)

Things being scrutineered are:

severe oil leaks

seat belt operation

secure seating

firm brake pedal feel

lack of steering free play

positive batter terminal insulated ie. covered

loose objects

So if you need to sort out your car for these objects then please do so to stream line the process on the day. More tarmac time equals happier drivers and less amount of tyre tread to take home.

      Slimline sub on the rear parcel shelf is doable. Pioneer TS-WX140DA is only 70mm high.

      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.

      Misfire/stalling issues

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      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.

      Yes that sounds right. Cars currently in the shop for the engine work. Will need to remeasure .. but yes I think I must be targeting 45cm from fender.
