So, another new year is upon us,

which means another Summernats is upon us,

which means than stuff happening in Braddon and the city every night is, err, upon us.

Anyway, as with the last couple of years, we'll be out to check out what's happening.

So, to kick off, Frink and myself will be heading out tonight (probably every night). Tonight will be the quieter night of the bunch but Nats Wednesday is usually about 50x busier than Braddon on a normal Friday night anyways.

We shall be at the museum at 8:30 thhis evening if anyone wants a common spot to meet up and we can head in from there, maybe do a quick round to see where the best spots are, then park and go in for a proper look.

In the past we've found it's not best to drive round all the time, it's easier to attract the attention of the po po even though you're not doing anything wrong and you tend to see more on foot anyway.

Any takers - museum at 8:30.

Pretty good, got off to a quiet start though

Luke and I got there at 8:30, no one there so he went home, I hung around with Bullbar, Stinkypoo & GT-Passage, we headed back in and it was picking up. Plenty of nice cars driving around, you more or less couldn't park on Lonsdale St when it was at it's busiest.

We ended up leaving around 11:30, so yeah it ended up being pretty good.

Few Skylines about, including a horn Bayside Blue R34 GT-R with gold GT-C's.

Tonight should be much busier though.

Ok, we're going to try and get into the city around 7 tonight, to try and get a park on Lonsdale St.

We'll swing past the museum around then to see if anyone wants to join us a bit earlier.

Frink and I are thinking of getting in there about 6pm tonight.

We'll trying to get the same parking spots as last night, for anyone that's coming and wasn't there last night, it's the main roundabout in the middle of Braddon, and we're going to try and get the spots on the corner in front of the used car place opposite Gregorys Ford. The parking spots there are pretty good and it's minimal fuss if you need to leave.

Oh, and PS - Ignition DVD is meant to be out tonight too...

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
