Any of you people crossing the river for SAU Nationals?

126 days to go? I'm actually very tempted... Nice site too, hard to pull off a black but clean style :) but get rid of that view counter! so 1995 geocities :P Use GA or something if you actually want to find that kind of information :)

Accomm costs - totally in your control via the website widget. It was easier to do it that way.

Not 100% on costs yet. Going to probably have 2-3 package options. Stuff like DVD inclusion etc.

But a bare-bones pack... Trackday + Show'n'Shine, less than $200 without question. Just don't now how much less yet, and we making sure everyone gets heaps of track time so limited entry to justify people coming interstate and stuff.

Show'n'Shine is only like $5-$10 as just have to cover the security guard hire & other similar costs.

BUT there are BIG f**k off trophies for track day, show'n'shine etc. Its looking like trophies alone will be costing at least 3-4k, so it's not being done half hearted :D

All that will be put up later once classes are worked out (2-3 weels)

Pretty sure I'd just be a spectator if I went, transporting the car over and whatnot isn't worth enough to me as my stock little R33 isn't really competitive :P Although you're not sure on prices, will there be a spectator entry fee?

Im keen to check it out, wont be driving (I still DISLIKE imports and wont own one for a while) but always keen to see them in action.

wow, pretty sure there's a massive story behind that which I don't know...

Not really a massive story just over imports and back appreciating the "older" cars again. I lunched 2 engines in my old 32 and it was off the road for nearly 4 years due to other commitments so I was glad to see the tail lights pull out of the drive when it left :D

    • 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.
    • 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.
