Cruise Route: Bells Line of Road

MOUNTAIN HIGH

Meeting place: pm any club member for details :D

Meeting time: 24 APRIL, 10:00 for a 11:00 SHARP departure

We will cruise from the start at 11:00 sharp and head to Mt Victoria for lunch at The Imperial Hotel (approx 1.5 hours drive) where we will stop and feed our faces, talk about stuff and things and socialise.

Bells Line of Road is situated within the magnificent Blue Mountains, approximately one hour drive north of Sydney. Bells Line of Road took its name from Archibald Bell Junior, the explorer who at the age of just nineteen years crossed what was to become one of the most scenic routes across the Blue Mountains.(Thanks Archie)

Maps will be provided with the route, we will also conduct a short halt(10 min) about 17 klm from the starting point at the BP servo on the Bells Line so as to keep everyone together.

Ill see you all there with bells on.

Then if anyone is interested they can head to catalina for a walk around a classic old race track which went the way Oran Park did before heading home. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalina_Park

Don't forget to be fueled up :)

Duncan, I'm keen as well

How many cars were there? I take it nobody took some pics?

I think in total we had around 6 or 7 of us take a nice scenic cruise up the mountains, and a casual stroll around Catalina...

I was actually talking to my step father after coming back from this trip... He used to "race" around it...

Marko, I don't believe I saw a single camera all day.

      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/
