Alright guys and girls, been thinking more about our discussions on this thread, and I propose a new date either the first or second weekend of April... The third weekend of April is Easter weekend, which brings with it an extra two days off (YAY! :geek: ), but also double the fines and double demerit points. And even though the Stageas usually fly under the radar as far as police attention is concerned, having a whole group of us cruising and hanging out together might bring some unwelcomed attention (Awww :( ). If worst comes to worst, we can do this the weekend after Easter. It's a bit further away, but gives us more time to sort this out.

I figured setting up a meet this late in the month is a bit too short notice, and I've been busy (and will continue to be busy) with relo's from o/seas as well until the end of March/beginning of April.

So, let me ask you all a few questions:

1. Which weekend would you all prefer?

2: Is Sydney or Newcastle prefered, or somewhere in between (and if that's the case, where?)? I do spend a bit of time on occasion around The Entrance, Lake Munmorah and Lake Macquarie, but I'm no expert.

3. Do we have an all-in cruise once we're at our combined meeting point, or just sit down somewhere and chill out, maybe have a BBQ or whatever? Personally, I'd prefer to just have two or three separate groups (one from Sydney metro, one from Newcastle and surrounds, etc) cruise up together, and then each group just heads to one central point and we can meet and greet there.

Remember to allow room for parking of roughly 10 Stageas, using the rough list I created in the other thread. Please suggest a decent area where we can park fairly close together and won't either give or receive any unwanted fuss...

So peoples, please let me know what you all think, and I will add all the preferred options to this first thread in point form.

Cheers,

Nick

yea definately the weekend after easter i think (22/23)

bit too hectic on the roads for me if you want it easter weekend

don't know if i'll bring my rugrats though

they go a little crazy when we go on a cruise

bbq sounds good around newie somewhere

let us know how it goe's with dates and times.

Updated, thanks all.

Can anyone suggest an area we can head to? Like I mentioned, even though I do come up to the Central Coast once in a while, I'm not too familiar with where we can gather.

I do know that there are a few spots in and around Gwandalan and Summerland Point which should suit our requirements, and if that sounds good to all of you then I at least know I won't need a map to get us there without a hassle...

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
