G'day guys,

Got into a bit of a problem. My girlfriend is stuck in north rocks at our new house and I'm in QLD still. We bought a fridge when I was down there but the guy then said we couldn't pick it up till after I left. Now he wants it collected on Wednesday.

Anyone here with a Ute or a Trailer that wouldn't mind helping my GF out? I doubt she can lift a fridge though :bunny:

There will be money in it, just name how much you want. It's only an old cheap fridge.

Or if anyone else has any other ideas let me know. She only has my wagon (stag) down there and couldn't tow even if the falcon was there.

It's a 20 minute drive to the fridge from north rocks, so I'm guessing an hour job? 20 mins there, 5 mins collect, 20 mins back, 5 mins unload. 10 mins looking at the stag.

ETA: Just been informed the washing machine also has to be collected before I get back now. So now it's just over an hour of driving. North Rocks -> Queens -> Five Dock -> North Rocks. Will obviously pay more now... But still should be what, an hour 40 mins job?

nawww does anyone know a company that doesn't charge an arm and a leg to collect them?

Would the fridge fit in the back of the stag if you lay it down ? You can ship a fridge that way you just have to let the fridge stand upright ( normal position ) overnight before you turn it back on.

It quite possibly would. Spotta would need to get dimensions of the fridge though...

Well if you go ahead with plan b laying the fridge down. Don't turn it on until after 24 hours or the fridge won't go no more.

      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/
