Got to into the event at 7am on Saturday, drove on the grass "show and shine" area looking for SilviaWA's spot. I could not find it so i asked one of the men on the golf buggies, he informed me that everyone was just parking where ever they liked and there was on set spots. So i drive up and parked on the section on top of the retaining all, then the fords and commodores followed. By the time all of the 30 Silviawa people had rocked up you couldn't get your car out...

Then we lined up for the "powercruise" after 2 1/2 hrs we make it down into the staging lanes and set off into the track....

Sunday came and i decided to not drive the car and parked it up with the drift demo cars and spent the rest of the day being a passenger in my boyfriends drift car.

I thought that it was very disorganized which was a great disappointment.

Dani, you were lined up a couple of cars in front of me for the "powercruise" your lights look awesome!!

Powercruise was ok, didnt like the "big 5o man" doing a 360 infront of a silvia drifting made the poor drifter go of the track to avoid him :) . also saw Angr33's car I think those lights are awsome made me laugh when i read the plate, nice looking car mate.

Would of prefered some more drifting events but oh well :)

Yeah was a bit Disorganized sat in the car waiting to get off the track for 30mins after the off street drag racing practice after only getting 3 runs in 2 hours but still enjoyed it overall.next year should be better organized hopefully!!!

i agree with the comments about the waiting time..just takes up too much time and i even took a nap in the car!! but it was well worth it when we got onto the track :bunny: lotsa good-looking cars too!

heres some pix/vids of the day.

but the only skyline related thing i got was Steves GTR on the track

look in the video section for it.

    • 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?
