so fingers crossed, i will have an ugly green zzw30 sitting in my driveway in the next couple of months, getting ready to bring it over, 28 days left before COE runs out.

kristian from iron chef is going to be doing the paperwork part.

I do this every few months, have 2-3 blokes around and we all work on our cars and have a bbq :) Lots of swearing and knuckle scraping fun :)

I could potentially see problems doing this with SAUVIC in an official capacity, insurance issues if we're doing it at a workshop etc :/

I'll put the call out for wastelanders next time I'm going to have a car weekend though :D

Yeah thought it might be a bit difficult having the official SAU VIC affiliated.

I'm currently organising one for my other car club in August, would love to see some Skylines there and if there's enough interest bring the BBQ down (I have a large shed / factory down in Mordialloc that fits several cars inside and plenty of cars outside to work on the cars).

Drez you must be Dezz's brother

He wishes.

Don't think my mate has had any issues with his A6...

When the time comes I'll have trouble deciding between something like a C63/other euro performance car and a 35 GTR or something...

Adam when are you buying a 7?

Iunno mate

I'm in so many minds right now

Have never intentionally looked for a car, they've always just jumped at out me and I've impulse bought

Yeh it's highly likely I was just unlucky but having said that I know a few people who have had issues with audi / vw

Just get a long ass warranty that's ya best bet lol

Should give that 'intentionally looking for a car' thing a go.

Never works. I think I'd have to have one kind of car in mind for it to work, and even then, the bonus behind the impulse buy is that ironically you aren't rushing in to buying a car, you're waiting for just the right one to come along.

I'm a sucker for clean and stock interiors. The moment I see dirt / wear / kustom bitz I close the window.

Oh ok.

Wastelanders, any of you guys know where to get service reminder stickers? Those little stickers where you place in the windscreen to remind you when to service.
Could only find American ones on ebay...

Or am I the only one having the trouble remembering?

Don't they come with each bottle of oil these days?

    • 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?
