had some problems in the maps (including it telling me to jump off the hume hwy at an overpass) but I think they all run the same maps

lol yeah I've had mine tell me to turn off the hume at goulburn when I'm on my way to sydney - wtf??

but besides the odd weird moment like that, I've had no troubles with my navman. I've used it heaps in sydney and brisbane and couldnt do without it now. I use it for the speedo reading too cos it's more accurate.

For the past few days, my Tom Tom ONE XL has been acting up.

It kept on telling me that I was on streets or in paddocks about 100metres south of where I really was.

So I waited for NEWS REPORTS to reveal that our EARTH PLANET had tilted off its axis;

or that the SATELLITES had gone wobbly.

NOTHING.

Scrambling for any proof of an extended warranty thru' The Good Guys showed that I still had a couple of months left...Phew!

The ECHO Electronics Repair joint at Bankstown fixed it within an hour or two by replacing what they called 'FIRMWARE'!

not Tipperware!

ALL FIXED! :D

    • 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.   
    • 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
