Hello guys & girls,

I've been on here for several months now myself & would like to possibly take the opportunity for others as well as myself who regularly go on here who may be a bit out of the loop to meet & get to know everyone with some sought of social gathering, as well as getting to check out each others machines etc. All will be welcome.

Whether it be something like a BBQ or over a few drinks I will leave open for comments (weather could be dodgy so indoors or shelted could be handy as a backup option at least). If it was made early enough it could also have a short afternoon cruise thrown in after, but that's entirely optional. The idea first & foremost is for this to be a social event rather than a cruise.

I will lay a date down of Sunday the 27th of August for it to happen, but if too many people cannot make it on that day or things are not sufficiently organised by that time I will change it. 4 weeks should be pleanty of time though :D

All comments & expressions of interest will be appreciated, Cheers

Date: 27th of August

Time: 12:30

Place: Finalised & booked. PM's sent

Cruise: Being arranged by Madaz (Final details will be PM'd)

Not even BBQ would with *insert somebody cool here* would draw a lotta ppl away from that cruise.

i wouldnt worry about that i would go on a SAU cruise b4 anything else i know alot of older ppls from here hold those sediments also

Electro - you relise by starting this thread you have now nominated yourself as the main organiser : better get cooking uve got 4 weeks to decide what we do

dont hesitate to ask for help also

i will be there im sure Pokie will be there and my mate Lee in his 'R34'

thats the start of your list of ppls to come :wave:

Yes yes I did assume that I dug myself that hole when I started the thread :happy:.

Good to see it's already generated a bit of interest. As for people not coming because of another cruise (sorry wasn't aware of that 1) well as I said if there is an overwhelming amount of people who can't come on that day that would like to attend then I will change the date. However someone will always miss out, which is why I'm not going to fumble around asking people for a date instead. Apologies to whoever misses out.

My first post will be edited with updates as things change.

Best way to get to know people is by having a few drinks togeher...

... SAU PUB CRAWL BABY

Nah sounds good Jared you know i'll be up for it

Haha pub crawl hey? Yeah I had thought of something like that. May even make another thread for something like that a few weeks later .

Good that ur coming mate

    • I mean this in no disrespect to u mate; Are there clear tagged examples/explanations in our SAU forum for example, in my interest, this is how to do R34 Gtt suspension the right way? U guys did so much taking risks with experimentation that deserves recognition and those results helps us morons take the RIGHT path to buy quality / buy once. 🍻
    • Pretty much what you'd expect at that power level. Hypergear turbo, long list of supporting mods, full Haltech catalogue, etc.  I'd say this goes for most drivers, suspension is still a dark art for most people. And it's really hard to convince someone how much better their setup could be...  
    • They are what I will be installing. 640s for me.
    • Hmm... From my experience you get about 0.25° camber change per mm of RUCA length change. So, to correct from -2.5 up to less than -1° (or, more than -1° if you look at the world as a mathematician does) then you'd be making 6-8mm of length change on the RUCA. From a stock length of 308mm, that's 2-2.5% difference in RUCA length. My RUCAs are currently very close to stock length - certainly only 2-3mm different from stock. I had to adjust my tension arms by 6mm to minimise the bump steer. That's 6mm out of 210, which is 2.8%. That's a 2.8% change on those, compared to a <1% change on the RUCAs. So the stock geometry already has worse bump steer than is possible - you can improve it even if you don't change the RUCA length. If you lengthen the RUCAs at all, then you will definitely be adding bump steer. Again, with my car, I recently had an unpleasant amount of bump steer, stemming from a number of things that happened one after another without me having an opportunity to correct for them. I only had to change the tension arm lengths by 1mm to minimise the resulting bump steer. (Granted, I also had to dial out a lot of extra toe-in in the rear, and excessive rear toe-in will make bump steer behaviour worse). Relatively tiny little adjustments having been made - the car is now completely different. Was horrifying how much it wanted to steer from the rear on any significant single wheel bump/dip. And it was even bad on expansion joints on long sweepers on freeway entry/exits, which are notionally hitting both rear wheels at the same time. My point is, the crappy Nissan multilink is quite sensitive to these things (unlike the very nice Toyota suspension!). And I think 99.75% of Skyline owners are blissfully ignorant of what they are driving around on. Sadly, it is a non-trivial exercise to set up to measure and correct bump steer. I am happy to show my rig, which involves nasty chunks of wood bolted to the hub, mirrors, lasers, graph paper targets and other horrors. Just in case anyone wants to see how it is done. I'll just have to set it up to take the photos.
    • What do you have in that bad boy ? Ill go with the 725cc since I'll be going with Nistune ( would definitely like more engine protection but Haltech is too far out of reach at the moment... plus, Ill probably have a pretty safe tune as its a daily, not gonna be chasing peak power 24/7 ahahah ). Are Xspurt a safe choice?  Pete's great. He didnt mention anything about traction arm length so I reckon it may be good. When I get some new wheels/tire later down the road I'll ask him about it and get his opinion on em. I heard from Gary that you've got the bilsteins too, are you running the sway bars too? and what other suspension goodies do you have installed or would recommend?
