Haha, yeah Adam: I get paranoid about cops and wasn't sure if I should be hitting the few twisties of Eltham or not when you were behind me :merli: You basically passed my house!

That was fun, sorry about the miscommunication... next time I will explain U turns better :P and perhaps go a bit slower. Props to Sarah for catching up, good map reading girl! That was impressive :(

Was good once we were all together, luuuuurv the boulevard any time of day. Hope the route wasn't too boring.

Catch you guys at the next one! (Oh, and everyone get a radio! The ones we had were really handy!)

Decent meet up Charli.

I don't think anyone read the map, you said 4th exit at the Apple Peal Round about and everyone went the 3rd exit towards Templestowe.

I was riding passenger in WillL's R32 and he had to goto Yarra Boulevard.

See you at the next meet up.

Unco: Just on my way home at about midnight... I live around the corner from Safeways :huh:

Jamie: Where did you go? lol on the misdirection, I also said to everyone just before we left "OK, first step is U turn at the round about and we are heading that way *point towards Eltham*" But I know how things can be misunderstood... I had a couple of misunderstandings myself later in the night :( All in all a funny night :)

Sarah: The ones I got were from Dick Smith in Greensborough, they are 1kw and about $200 for two but they came with a few extras and you might be able to buy them seperately. Maybe if it's a pair and you split it with someone else on here then it would be cheaper :)

Photos from the night.. I think I need to invest in a better camera soon.

We will do it again I'm sure! :(

ps. Thanks for the kind words everyone... I suspected there were going to be a few errors to nut out since I hadn't done anything like this before so it should be smooth next time if I ever do it again ^_^

So did anyone follow you after all?

Or did you do the whole map yourself?

      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/
