A bit of trivia...

The "NISSAN" sign was on loan to us from Chris Reely marketing mngr of Nissan Motor Co (Aust) Eastern sector after Springwood Nissan was forced into receivership.

I just had to pluck up the 'guts' to ask him for it from an empty showroom lol.

A black R34 GT-R owned by Ron Perry stopped for a few minutes on Bells Line Of Road. His son needed a leak. 5 convoy cars stopped to render assistance!

Breenhold Gardens Estate owner came out to us organisers & asked us to move on to a (already full) picnic ground. Then he asked me if anyone was coming in.

That's when I realised that our parked cars were NOT good for his business. I didn't have the heart to ask him for the use of his toilet.

mxfly & I got an agreement all round that the organisers would wear orange shirts. Two organisers can't tell between orange and red.

mxfly had no chance of winning Best Wheels unless most of the judges were female. Pink wheel nuts indeed!

mxfly graciously gave up his Award for Best...... so that someone else could share in a Prize with the Award Certificate signed by Mark Skaife (due next week)

Thanks to Tez & Co. for organising the event, Next time make sure the air temps are a touch warmer - I couldn't feel my hands after about 15mins lol.

fantastic cruise today guys... even though bakes and i missed the first group (what a mission that was!! :) )... i had a ball of fun.. the cars were great... the organisation was great.. big props to terry and the crew.. the spot was fantastic... i think i took more photos of the surroundings then of the cars... congrats to the award winners.. lots of tough cars.. ill have a play with the photos and post em up tomorrow when i should be working...

i got a great photo of terry in action!

and so y'all know .... bakes's gtr has got some get up and go now its all tuned and it sounds fantastic.. i leave it up to him to fill you all in if he feels like it... but from the passenger seat... lots of fun.

one more thing... i hate to put a dampner on things... but who was the goof who punched it out the first round about in the gtr group... i think it was white... a light colour anyway... was last in the group.... seriously mate, nice way to show that skyline drivers are respectable lot... couldnt you have waited till you got a bit out of the populated area??

cheers all

Linton

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
