Well captainsane had just bought his S1 and was driving from Brisbane to Townsville. I suggested he stop over in rocky and spend then night, mainly so that such a tidy Stagea does not get written off or damaged because of driver lack of sleep ;) That and I always wanted to see what having two stageas in my driveway felt like, IT FELT GOOOOOD!

Well I had given him my work number and was due to finish work at 4pm, then a meeting popped up over the other side of the uni at 3pm, no problem, it was only a 10-15min meeting............ at 3:50pm I came sprinting out of the ITD building and hauled arse across campus to where my building was........ 3:57pm got to my desk to grab keys, sure enough there was a message on my phone....... CRAP, jump in my Stagea and haul arse across town, picking up a mate of mine on the way with a digital camera, got to our meet point and there he was, and man it looked wirerd, my first reaction was, WTF..... why is my car here, duh I am in my car :bonk:

Anyway we cruised passed the gardens and he was kind enough to agree to some snaps so we did and here they are:

After that we went home, ate dinner, played a bit of poker, and the next morning he was off on his way :huh:

In my Garage, going to run on the 15"s until they are bald, paid as much for them as 2 new 18"s which I needed, so thought why not get them and then when they are bald go back to the 18"s and have a set of rims ofr "extra circular" activities :laugh:

Notice the lack of guage holder, I wonder why that is............... care to elabourate Rob? :P

Are you gonna mention guage holders in EVERY THREAD, cyrus...? lol ok mate im on it. Ill order some. I need 3 for me, 1 for you, 3 for a mates civic, and that should do it. 7.... like white on rice, bud.

PS much tread left on those tyres of mine bud?

CHeers for the roof, the meal and the cruise Cy. No Sightings of stageas in Townsville, though there are plenty of R32's around:)

If anyone knows some cruising groups in TOwnsville could you pm me? Like i said, plenty of skylines, lancers (yuK!) and american muscle doing laps of the strand on Friday night, but the only one i could talk to at the lights had no idea.

Again, thanks for the shelter and the mod ideas...

Cheers.

    • 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.
