thanks everyone, was an awesome event... loads of fun...

I promise I was actually moving on the straights, even though it looked like I was standing still!

I think my mate took some photos, will see if I can pry any of them out of him...

No dramas on the way home? looked nastier than what it was i think.

Yeah, hose was up high and on the outlet of the engine, just after the thermostat, so the engine stayed full enough I think.

Looking at replacing all my hoses now, anyone know anything about silicon radiator hoses? are they stronger or just more flashy?

Thanks to Mike and all the team at SauQld a great morning was had. Great to have the extra time as well. Am going to upload a quick clip to YouTube of 88RDY hitting the rev limiter, you will see the outcome soon.

Awesome air this morning big shout out to Mike for as always making today happen. Was great would luv to run the full track next time!

Glad we could fly the skyline flag in the sea of Evo's ;)

Ants could defo smell your brakes and about 16 more sets out there that were on fire! Spoke to the guy with the yellow Evo on e85 and he said he was full outa brakes at one stage with his street pads in there. That Evo was fast......

Cheers

Glad to hear it seems no damage done... You were really hooking through the dipper I had a massive smile on my face seeing and hearing you give it the beans through there ;)

From what I can gather the silicon hoses are stronger and less prone to failure than the normal style hoses.....

No worries, unfortunately unless we get 100 people they don't let you have the national circuit.

Mine were smoking when I came off, was a good 50 minutes.

    • 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.
    • 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.
