Worried about how your car is handling? Want to know what you can do to improve her around corners and make her hug the road? We've organised a tech night with the guys at Fulcrum Stafford to show you what's going on in the world of suspension.

Event: SAU Tech Night - Suspension

This event will offer members the chance to get their cars up on a hoist and look and what's going on underneath. Minor issues such as slight wheel alignment tweaking and small adjustments can/will be made for free by the guys at Fulcrum but this is really an opportunity to take a good solid look under your car. Ideally looking at between 5-10 cars to make sure that everyone gets a shot. If you're going to the sprint day, you may want to make sure that you don't have suspension issues.

Location: Fulcrum Suspension, 46 Webster Road, Stafford

Date: Thursday, 2nd May 2013

Time: 6:00pm - 8:00pm

Cost: Free!


Requirements: This is a member only event. To attend, you will need to let us know in advance and have your member card ready.

We ask that attendees obey all Road rules.
we don't want people racing up and down the street or general Hooning.

Remember you are representing the Club, so we need to be on our best behaviour.



See you all there!
Tony

Excellent Carl. See you there!

Not everyone's car can be up on the hoist and this will be due to time constraints really. But it will give you an idea as to what to look out for.

Yeah mate understand about not everyone can have there car up on the hoist. I don't mind if mine doesn't go up at all, was just saying.

Damn living in Nth Queensland :( Glad to see stuff like this happening but, Props to SAU QLD team, one day we might venture up your way. Its on my to do list I swear :P

Thanks mate. A bit of appreciation from time to time doesn't go astray. :)

Yeah mate understand about not everyone can have there car up on the hoist. I don't mind if mine doesn't go up at all, was just saying.

All good mate. Was just making sure that everyone was one the same page :)

Personally, I'd prefer if people going to the sprints had their car up there. Would offer some peace knowing that everything is ok. :)

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
