Bel, Make sure you go left at the cemetary.. OR via off left at that intersection.

We made that mistake and had to turn around 20 cars on a little dirt road.

Sorry guys, I'm not going to be able to make it. Unless someone feels the need to give me money to fix my diff ;)

Please?

Anyway, I have my step mums birthday on that night to. If we leave there early enough I might try and persuade Andrew to come into Roma Street. Don't be too scared of little Brutis. He's not that fast :)

What time you's meeting at roma street... Or leaving Roma Street?

ok, well the goldcoasters are still meeting at bp coomera at 7:15 and departing to head to roma st at 7:30. we should be at roma st around 8ish or so, most people wont turn up till round 8:30 i believe which is fine, id say we will probably leave roma st around 9:30 or so mabey later, and begin on our way south onto the proposed cruise route posted above. once we get to hinze dam depending on the time and what the general group wants to do will see us head to either bwcp (which is usually starting to empty out around this time from memory) bermuda st, or shell mudgeeraba.

i dont see any reason inhibiting us from cruising up to roma st, its not all that far, the bp service centers dont seem to be too keen on big groups meeting in their carparks, Roma st has worked before and i have no doubt it will work again.

the idea is for a cruise in the hills fellas, we will get in a bit of "showpony action" towards the end as well.

nismogirl, yeh i know about that one, i went flying past it when i went and sused the route out myself, and nope, i need my dif :D

the directions are pretty self explanitory, i hope :)

timing belt and water pump and labour came to 450

i wouldnt let autobarn touch my car, i was talking to someone who bought one of my friends old cars, and he said when he asked the autobarn guy what something was (his boost controler) the guy told him then proceded to say he would adjust it for him, he had wound the adjuster all the way out on the high stage. its remarkably lucky he didnt use the switch and do some damage to his engine.

back on topic, hopefully there will be a good turnout, sorry i kinda hijacked organising this from you smoothline :D

Would be interesting to know if it was the same autobarn... im taking a letter signed by nissan to them after nissan fixes it, demanding all costs be repaid. Its a joke... high voltage just fries the batt after a few kms of driving... grrrrrr!

Bundall?

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
