I was keeping an eye out for Doof. No wonder I didnt spot you.

I got a good suprise when I went to get my jacket out of the boot and realised I had left it in the Forester back at Penrith. Bbbbrrrrrrrrrr, cold :D

That's why you were in your car a lot of the time...

I think there were a few incidences when people didn't realise the car they were looking at had people sitting in it.

My mate was staying warm inside my car while I was out and about... at one point, one of the Envy girls was standing in front of my car but then turned around to adjust her clothing. My mate got a pretty good (unexpected view) ;)

Thanks for organizing the cruise, we had a bit of fun and it was good to be out and see so many nice cars on the day. Shame about the weather though .. I froze my ass off after "volunteering" my jacket to a silly girl that came in very light clothing .. luckily we still had a blanket to wrap ourselves in.

Note to self - bring extra warm clothing whenver going to the mountains next time, even if its sunny.

Photos are being doctored as I type. (Yay for CS3 Batch processing!)

I had an awesome day and it was a pleasure to be out again. :D

Special thanks to Pete (STYLN) for the shotgun seat and the steer on the way home, You bastard I want another Stagea now!!! LOL

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.

Overall though it was an awesome day out. :D

no problems at all x! mate it was just great to have someone along for the ride and to introduce me a bit. Needless to say i was a lil nervous. Been a long time since ive been that excited to attend a cruise, and i must say despite the freezing cold temps at the mountain it was a top notch day!

I especially enjoyed the drive up the mountain and back. Via galston gorge was awesome btw!!! HAHAHAHA

Thanks to everyone that organised it and made it work!

cheers

pete ;)

So umm who's coming to Wakefield on Saturday?? If I can get a helmet and brakes bled before then I might be signing up just to see what the car can do on the track!

MRGTR911,

Seriously just drop it. Andrew is having an opinion. Whether it is from a business perspective, or a personal perspective.

Personally i share the same view. Everyone was made aware at the drivers briefing, that we did not want any one driving like an idiot. Some people did. And us as organisers were not happy with this. Launching hard is fine. That wasn't the issue. People spinning the tyres and acting like idiots at the start tarnishes the whole cruise. What would've happened if the police showed? The entire thing would've been shut down. There would've been defects galore..and everyone would've had the sh*ts.

And i'm assuming by the way your arking up about it you were one of the people Andrew is talking about?

Hey im all sweet all i was saying was not to target certain people when realisticly everyone was doing it , His mates actually started it so everybody else just followed , just watch the video and see for yourself and im pretty sure launching hard isnt fine as you say ( i dont think cops would enjoy watching people doing hard launches as you say if fine )

anyways im over it , pics look good , Once again terry and Euge done well .....

If you still had Xmetal in your car on the way through the gorge I'm surprised he didn't make you pop in to say hi! :laugh: I live just up the road from the gorge!

straight out, best part was the 2 gtrs dumping it coming out :laugh:. so stop ur sulking and get the hell over it.

one more thing someone might like to clear up for me, and i mean no offence by this, but howww did that black gtr win BEST exterior. undoubtedly that silver gtr (FLYT34 plates), or that blue tommi kaira gtr and the white MINES gtr were ALOTTTT more appealing exterior wise.

all in all not a bad event :thumbsup:

      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/
