Just a thought, why not hold it at someplace like the Laurel Hill Convention Centre, between Batlow and Tumbarumba.  Accommodation, food, and maybe drinks [not sure] if not then byo.  Showers, toilets etc and I reckon price would be low-ish.

There are other centre's around like that one, they make good bases for car/motorcycle meets etc.

Anyway January in Wagga doesn't sound too flash, +40'C days and all [good drinking weather though].

As written...........

Stay tuned wises, Kamikaze and I are trying to get something happening.

We reckon a day meet to meet everyone and then set a date, place and time for a Murray-Murrumbidgee Skyline Day.

We'll keep everyone posted here, if you know of other skyline owners, let them know. R3? whatever as long as it's a skyline.

Hey guys,

Just found this post....

Laurel Hill is a great venue (I had a relative that used to mange the place). I'm not sure of pricing but will try to find out today. Wagga will be mid 40's during January, but if we based ourselves in the mountains you can expect it would be somewhat cooler... after all, Laurel Hill is 1500 metres higher than Wagga.

I think we should all head over to Fatz track day, I'm going and think it would be great to get some country cars out there.

The Nat's weekend in Canberra is another good option, or just a cruise there at some stage. I head over there heaps to cruise and enjoy some good roads.. I'll let you ACT guys know next time I'm over there..

Narrandra drags will be hot as, but I'd still go...

So yeah, get a general consensus - but I'd have to say either Canberra for the roads, or Larel Hill for some mountain coolness :D

I'd say Canberra has less ummm.. hassels. in a blue way....

Sorry oscar, thought you knew this thread, actually thought it was you that told me about it, how wrong can a fella be.........

We were just trying to organise a meeting to get everyone together so we can plan some things like a 'Skyline Day' [that may turn into a weekend] that would be worthwhile for ppl from Canberra etc to attend. They may not come to some sh1tty little meeting [and who would blame them], but they might come to a party meeting.

I was thinking Laurel Hill cos we would all be together, we could organise food, drinks, a band/DJ, and do it all for a under say [don't really know yet] $50 a head, but this is the sort of thing we need to talk about, so first step is to have a meeting somewhere to meet and talk with Albury/Griffith/Wagga etc etc.

Stay tuned..............

Well, I'm thinking that the date for the meeting will be either 23rd January, or 6th February 2005.

It's later than we all were thinking, but..............Simmernats 6th/7th January, Fatz track day 15th/16th January, 23rd is free, then 30th will be Australia Day type weekend [26th January].

I'm thinking that the 6th Februaury might be best, gives everyone time to plan etc.

Please post if you think otherwise.

Jeez ya wanna know everything doncha.............

Don't know yet, I'll arrange something, but probably make it in Wagga, it's most central to Albury, Tumut, Griffith, Leeton, Cootamundra, Young etc

Any suggestions, we could maybe get the back room of the Shanty hotel at Alfredtown near Wagga??? {I could see Mick and ask}. If you have a better idea let me know.

Trying to avoid anyones house at this point, I feel [and I don't know why] it's probably best for now.

    • 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.
