G'Day Guys. Some of the blokes on the forum are interested in a Skyline cruise this coming weekend. No surprise there eh!

WHEN: 12PM SUNDAY MIDDAY - July 28th

WHERE: HOMEBUSH CAR PARK 6C

CRUISE: MEET AND HEAD TO THE NORTHERN BEACHES VIA THE CITY

Would be great to get a good few Skyliners for this one! I'll try and get a few of the R31 crew to come.

Who's in?

Cheers, MARK

PS - It'll be my last weekend of driving for 3 months. I gotta hand in my licence to RTA on Tuesday :D

2nd half of nasho comes to mind.

if the weather is good i'd prefer to go for a coast drive or something rather than city. that's just me though.

ask neil (ndr) about the second half of nasho. he took a few of there late one night and it's an awsome drive. it's called 'something' dam. sorry but i forget what it is exactly.

I ain't going anywhere near Brighton/La Perouse/South with a big group of cars... It's just asking for trouble...

I'm going to have to put my vote in for a drive up to the Northern Beaches instead...

Andrew. :uh-huh:

Palm beach is a top destination. Parking shouldn't be too bad in the middle of winter either. There's always Whale, Avalon, Bilgola, Newport, Mona Vale or the boat ramp carpark at Bayview as well.

I'll probably meet up with you guys at the final destination. See how it goes.:cool:

    • 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/
