Hi gtr fan. SAU NSW membership is $35 per year, and a once off $25 joining fee (includes $10 worth of SAU sticker). It's well worth the money, and as we are a cams affiliated club you can use your SAU membership for your CAMS licence application. Plus there are many other benefits. More info in here:

Jordan, this is perfect for anyone with an interest in improving the handling of their car, and learning a bit about suspension. even with no prior knowledge of suspension systems you will get plenty out of this evening. BUT at this point it's open only to SAU NSW financial members (see above). If we do not get enough attendees we may allow any forum members to attend, but I would suggest joining the SAU NSW club anyway. There are lots of good reasons. :huh:

UPDATE:

The dates has been confirmed with Bilstein.

Tuesday 24th April starting at 7pm (arrive between 6:30 and 7:00pm if possible). It is expected to finish before 10pm

I can also confirm this will involve a tour of all their good gear including the shock dyno room and mobile shock centre (race truck). There will also be a special guest coming. He has lots of experience in race car preperation and set-up and is a fountain of information on suspension set-up, particularly with skylines. So I would say this is an even not to be missed!

good to see! Well we are at 19. My target for this is 20-30 SAU NSW members. Learning a bit about suspension from these guys should not be underated. and the "special guest" is worth coming to see too.

adam you big girl. man up and just get your crack wax another day. a week of stuble never killed anyone.

well, we now have 20 people on this so it's looking to be a good night. 10 more spots to fill. Don't be shy, get your name in here.

PLEASE RE-CHECK THE FIRST POST. DUE TO SCHEDULE PROBLEMS HEASMANS HAVE ADVISED ME WE NEED TO CHANGE THE DATE TO TUESDAY 24th.

sorry guys. nothing I could do about this change, but I hope it wont be a problem for most of you.

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
