things like the Enjo Speed event Series ( which I'm in ) , the sprint days etc , no , all you need is a level 2

If you want to go racing at the monthly meetings at Wanners ie, like the Nightmasters, an observed practise session is reqd.

Not much eh?:P

cheers

Ken

i have the l2s and it allows me into what intend on going in this year. it cost about eighty bucks and took a little over a month to be processed - i think this all depends on your timing.

i'm booked in for a training day this month with MC. is anyone else?

to tell you the truth i'm looking forward to mixing it with the porches and lotus's at future motorkhana events. even though i've barely had the car 3 months now. it should be better than having to drive like a supposed maniac during peak hour each day just to get a bit of enjoyment :lol: and the freakin cops, i swear to go if they pull me over once more for no real reason i'll umm... yeah welll...

atleast you'll have no shortage of members for a wa skyline club. going by the number i see on the road each day anyway... *duck*

seeya.

AW11 , that would be the one on Feb 16th

Was down to instruct but is Dad's 80th and was threatened with death if I missed it.

There good fun and I think you got Kim Screigh and Warwick gates who aren't bad.

You doing MC events or the Speed event series ?

Cheers

Ok it's late , the post whores are here , gloves off.

How many people on this site are actually serious about competing in CAMS style events , ie Khana , sprint series , lap dashes etc.

Or are you just all crooze and 1/4 mile queens

Cheers

( flame suit on )

Ken

Ahh but you can here the open unlimited speed roads calling

Sitting on 240 kmh , the tanks full and no tina for miles

( oops , got mixed up with Mad Max )

Cheers

( DD is gone )

Ken,

Well I am definately keen to try some stuff, preferably to build my skill level up before I start racing with other people on the track. I spoke to Osc@r and he said he was keen to get some lessons in driving lines etc, so we could enter some events together.

See'ya:burnout:

Please vote in the poll and ask any questions u may have.

I'll answer them the best i can and please no whoring.

ps: to be feasable we would need 30+ paying members in the first year. This cost would be about $85 per person in the first year and $35 after that.

For 50+ paying members in the first year. This cost would be about $70 per person in the first year and $25 after that.

anything less than 30 paying members isn't financially feasable or worth the time and effort.

Im in for it as long as theres benefits for EVERYONE

whats is $2550 -3550 for first year and 25 after that going to give everyone. apart from cheaper rates at mc or dyno days for the few people that go

id rather see it stay as it is now but with an money raising event such as online store or sumthing i

f its cheap enough people will buy prob get more than 3.5 k a year as well people wont have to pay and people who buy online get cheaper deals what could be better well thats my 2 cents

    • Had I known the diff between R32 and R33 suspension I would have R33 suspension. That ship has sailed so I'm doing my best to replicate a drop spindle without spending $4k on a Billet one.
    • OEM suspension starts to bind as soon as the car gets away from stock height. I locked in the caster and camber before cutting off the kingpin. I then let the upright down in a natural (unbound) state before re-attaching it. Now it moves freely in bump and droop relative to the new ride height. My plan is to add GKTech arms before the car is finished so I can dial camber and caster further. It will be fine. This isn't rocket science. Caster looks good, camber is good, upper arm doesn't cause crazy gain and it is now closer to the stock angle and bump steer checks out. Send it.
    • Pay careful attention to the kinematics of that upper arm. The bloody things don't work properly even on a normal stock height R32. Nissan really screwed the pooch on that one. The fixes have included changing the hole locations on the bracket to change the angle of the inner pivot (which was fairly successful but usually makes it impossible to install or remove the arm without unbolting the bracket from the tower, which sucks) and various swivelling upper arm designs. ALL the swivelling upper arm designs that look like a capital I (with serifs) suck. All of them. Some of them are in fact terribly unsafe. Even the best one of them (the old UAS design) shat itself in short order on my car. The only upper arm that works as advertised and is pretty safe is the GKTech one. But it is high maintenance on a street car. I'm guessing that a 600HP car as (stupidly, IMO) low as you are going is not going to be a regular driver. So the maintenance issues on suspension parts are probably not going to be a problem. But you really must make sure that however your fairly drastically modded suspension ends up, that the upper arms swing through an arc that wants to keep the inner and outer bolts parallel. If the outer end travels through an arc that makes that end's bolt want to skew away from parallel with the inner bolt, you will build up enormous binding and compressing forces in the bushes, chew them out and hate life. The suspension compliance can actually be dominated by the bush binding, not the spring rate! It may be the case that even something like the GKTech arm won't work if your suspension kinematics become too weird, courtesy of all the cut and shut going on. Although you at least say there's no binding now, so maybe you're OK. Seeing as you're in the build phase, you could consider using R33/4 type upper arms (either that actual arm, OEM or aftermarket) or any similar wishbone designed to suit your available space, so alleviate the silliness of the R32 design. Then you can locate your inner pivots to provide the correct kinematics (camber gain on compression, etc).
    • The frontend wouldn't go low enough because the coilover was max low and the upper control arm would collapse into itself and potentially bottom out in the strut tower. I made a brace and cut off the kingpin and then moved the upright down 1.25" and welded. i still have to finish but this gives an idea. Now I can have a normal 3.25" of shock travel and things aren't binding. I'm also dropping the lower arm and tie rod 1.25".
    • Motor and body mockup. Wheel fitment and ride height not set. Last pic shows front ride height after modifying the front uprights to make a 1.25" drop spindle.
