Hi there :P

Feel like doing something wonderfiul for someone less fortunate ?

I would like to see as many stunning Skylines and aquaintances thereof getting together for a charity drive in the name of raising a donation and offering it as a gesture of goodwill from members of SAU and their friends to Cancer for Kids.

The idea being to drive from Sydney up the F3 motorway to Terry Ashwoods restaurant Le Porchetta in Gosford for lunch. For those who dont know Terry owns the Windfield R32 GTR Race Car and has other Skyline race cars inside the pizza/pasta restaurtant which always makes for interesting table talk.

I think something in the order of $25.00 per car for the donation. See if we cant also hold a raffle on the day and sell a stack of SAU merchandise with a small percentage of each sale also going towards the donation. We'll give Duncan all the dosh who can then raise an SAU cheque for Cancer for Kids.

Any other ideas in relation to anything about this day is greatly appreciated - please post below :D

I am thinking a Sunday before the weather gets too cold - maybe end of May early June ?

Your individual interest combined with everyone elses will help make these kids lives happier :)

Cheers Malcolm :)

:) WHOS IN ? :)

A good idea would be to contact Ashwood and see if he would match the donation dollar for dollar. He gets publicity and does something nice, skyline fans get some food and a cruise, kids get help they need. Everybody wins.

any idea of dates foods good there

Ill get the ball rolling................hows Sunday June the 8th sit with everyone ? - or the 15th due to bad weather.

Could also use the day as a final lockdown for Auto Salon as itll be the on the next week or so.

I thought for the raffle if peoples could go through their no doubt vast collections of motoring related "collectables" and see if theres anything youd be prepared to offer up. Im sure ive got some spare jap. car dealership brochures on the GTST & GT-R. Got beauties on the Pulsar Gti-r and (english v.) of the Aust.del. R32 GT-R. Have one very rare original rear window decal that was an option on the 400R and some from OMORI FACTORY that Mr Watanabe sent.

The food is good at Le Porchetta - pizzas - pasta - lasange - salads - beer & wine.

Any other money making ideas for the day ?

Cheers malcolm :(

Likewise if theres anyone say from a workshop or business who can or cant make the day and would like to donate something to be raffled please post up your pledge :P

Some suggestions could be: spark plugs / oil or oil change / gear knob / radiator flush / seat covers......!?

Cheers malcolm :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      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?

      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/
