Sorry guys but I also had a UHF and was calling out warnings from the front of the pack, but we got split up too early.

But guys please invest in an UHF radio if you are coming cruising, saves so much heartache and time.

UHF's are good.... what sort of UHF do u have nexus ?? I am not sure how far ahead you were from me, but it was a bit crackly... i have a uniden with the taller aerial (about $100), never had any worries with it, but i couldnt get much out of it last nite....

Later runs thru the hills is better too... less traffic = more safety

My Bad, I think the batteries were running flat so it wasn't giving the range it is meant to.

Oh and it is the $100.00 Uniden too.

The thing with those $100 pair CB's is that they only go for 3k's(eye sight distance) , some better ones go for 5k's, would that work if you're stuck somewhere in the mpuntains and all the rest have done a "Schumacher" on ya.

this CB is a 4watts 4miles

    • 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?

    • 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.
