im in. as long as my front bar is fixed by then. it should be. if not, i'll just bring the good old 31!

well done stinkypoo for actually doing some organising :)

Edited by Frink

I'll bring the bike, won't be hanging around for long as I'll have exhibitions but I'll come out for the cruise.

I'm not keen on inviting other clubs (R31 club is fine of course)

I'd rather keep it a SAU only event.

yeah i agree, keep it SAU. nothing against other clubs but it'd be good to keep it in the 'family'

i'll have my new turbo then so i'll be able to break it in, hehehe :)

Yeh, the idea was not to invite other clubs, just maybe other people you would like to invite.

It doesn't really make much difference tho, cos they're public roads. I don't really want to invite the police but if the group is big enough, some is bound to "invite" them.

I would just rather you invite someone that you know won't be silly and tell them the cruise/event guildlines.

Anyways, i don't think it's gonna be a big problem.

Yeah but the issue is that someone will go and invite a mate from another club, then he'll invite the whole club, then someone from that club will invite another club......see what I mean?

If you're gonna bring a friend just make sure then know not to invite anyone else. We're happy in our little SAU bubble and don't need other clubs tagging along.

Sorry if I sound harsh but I don't think there are many that would disagree with me.

Its true..

we can always have an open club cruise..

Im keen on Inviting a mate, Good responsible drive too.

As long as we keep it at that, should be all good.

Damn, I haven't got a club, just this ol' baseball bat.............is it still OK if I come.

    • 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/
