sorry bout the date guys, i didnt realise when this fell.

fortunatly, for those who arnt going to wakefield(those like me worried about doing damage), this cruse can be an alternative.

for those who were thinking of coming, but cant make it, im thinking of turning this into an annual event.

btw, there are some great photo ops :banana:

Don't forget that parking at the 3 Sisters costs money, unless, you park about 400m away and walk ;)

Also seeing as though you are in the area you may as well stop at the old Catalina Race Park and walk a lap of the retired track. Afew of us SAU members walked it about 2mths ago on a cruise and it was quite fascinating.

when did they start charging for parking?

It's been about 2-3years since I last went.

Oh well, I don't mind a brisk morning walk

I've been going there daily for 7yrs and im pretty sure they have been charging for all over those 7yrs. The closest you can park without buying a parking ticket is Birdwood Ave / Raymond Rd.

Also it's very likely that the area will be covered in fog which means the only thing you will see is the end of your nose for the entire day (unlike the metro areas the fog in the mtns generally hangs around atleast until lunchtime).

If any of you have a friend or relative that lives in the Blue Mountains, and pays Council rates, he/she has what we call...

Echo Point RESIDENT PARKING PERMIT Permit # xxxx - For Use In 8 Hour Zones Only (to be placed on the left hand side of dash)

I'm not sure if Parking Rangers would be up at 5am though - unless your exhausts wake the Dead lol

(...anyone want a loan of mine?)

Footnote: At that time of morning, waves of clouds often hug the valley floor. People often go to lookouts like these around the world to view the scenery + the hues of the rising sun hitting the clouds/cliff faces - whether it be Mt Dandenong VIC or Lishan TAIWAN etc.

NB Probably a good idea to keep watch of the 'bom' website, because if it's rainy/misty/overcast, it can get pretty bleak.

hi, yeah, last time at that time in the morning, no one was there.

it was roughly the same time of year, had a light fog that cleard.

it was nice towatch though.

and no people from sau have announced attendence as yet.

c'mon people, its not THAT early

im interested in going but am concerned about the fog dont want to be driving and can only see 5metres in front of the car :whistling:

be a man, do the right thing. jk.

cant say 100%, but last time, no fog....

that early in the morning, hopefully there wont be.

ben, one in, hopefully more will change thier mind

nice to see some guys coming out for this.

so far theres about 12 cars between this group and the commodores(mostly commodores)

alot more than i thought id get with this idea...

hope to see more on the 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?

    • 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/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
