Seeming this isn't having a very good response, I thought I'd post the actual details in this thread.

__________________________________

Some of you may remember the Solace event we were trying to get off the ground a while back. Several of the skyline boys (and girls) were there and the support was greatly appreciated.

Thanks to the success of last time (eg: nothing got stolen, no rubbish was left anywhere, noone did burnouts and the like as they left) the owner of the center has given permission for us to have another event, but this time "all out".

For those with boobscruising access, the ''official'' link for it is here with a few suggestions etc here

Everyone should be able to access at least one of those links even as a guest.

Hopefully we can see a fair portion of you there on the 18th October (Saturday). This time around we hope to have some events etc and even more prizes and giveaways as well as events and some serious hardware (< 10 second drag cars etc) on display. As usual the shop will be open with some discounting going on too.

Have a read of the threads and maybe some input for ideas too?

As the thread says, there will be a cruise leaving from the carpark around 8pm heading for the coast. The Gold Coast is starting to pick back up again and with more than 1 months notice, I would like to see a turn out like the last gold coast cruise I organised with 30 + skylines.

Thanks for your support.

I spoke to the owner of Aussie Auto today and he's got some pretty cool goodies lined up for prizes....

Augner(sp?) pedals, Macguires(sp?) gift pack choccas full of car care products, Mothers gift pack choccas full of car care products, Augner(sp?) seat covers, trophies and stuff like hats and shirts.

Got a bit more planning than last time as well as voting for the best car present who'll get a trophy (as will someone deemed "Aussie Autos Choice" picked by the McManager there), a bit of stupidity with a throwing contest (cant tell anymore, or people will be practising) and thats where the Macguires pack comes in. Mother pack up for grabs just by popping your rego in a box. Setting up a mailing list for anyone interested with a few specials targetted only at those people as well as the normal catalouge specials...

20% off goddies in the shop from 6pm to 8pm as well so even if you dont wanna go for the social aspect, at least buy some stuff you need a fair whack cheaper than normal (and aussie auto is cheaper than autobarn/repco on most items to start with).

Anyway just a bit more info for the night as well as a free bump. Hoping to see a fair few of you there, it should be pretty big.

    • I'm firmly on the "zero compliance is good compliance" for FUCAs. I'd be looking to solid metal joints even if the primary reason for having them is because they facilitate the twist in the arm. I have never been more happy with the way the front suspension behaves than I have since I got rid of the FUCA bushes. Even the thin little (short lived) poly bushes in the Whiteline adjustables have too much compliance for my liking. It probably won't be long before I have sphericals nearly everywhere, probably including both top and bottom arms in the rear, and I'll start complaining about the increased costs for dental work. But I will be enjoying the driving more, I'm sure.
    • Plus, you'll get great experience in bedding in pads!
    • I have offset Nismo brackets so the fact the gktechs can pivot is less important to me. I have 170mm JIC arms with bushings - but they provide no adjustment and I'm not sure whiteline eccentric bushings will fit them (I don't want to ruin the bushings currently in them to find out). Ideally I want something with bushings + adjustment; hence why I'd like to find a pair of these. Unfortunately they aren't easy to find.
    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal!
