For the benefit of those who haven't been on a previous SAU observation cruise, this is how it works....

The starting location will be PMd the week before the event. We're running the event under a CAMS permit so you need to have at least one SAU NSW Club Member in your car to be involved.

On the day, we have a quick briefing then we give you a set of instructions/clues on where you need to drive, along with questions about things you should see on the way.

Cars start about 2 minutes apart & the drive itself should take about 2 hours to complete.

If it all goes bad and you get lost, we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions and announce the winner.

Hope this helps?

Light bickering commences between navigator and driver (if one or the other is the other's significant other...)

If it all goes bad and you get lost...

Bickering turns to abusive yelling.

...we give you a special envelope with instructions on how to find the finish.

The rest of the journey is done in absolute silence.

Once you get to the end location we have a barbie, give you the answers to the questions (sexual bunnies), announce the winner and you kiss and make up after a few hours.

Hope this helps?

    • 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/
