Except cops in XR6 turbos wanting to know who we were, where we were from, what we were doing, where we were heading, what we were waiting for, what happened and when we were heading home.

Stupid fella. We just said that ska had a flat tyre and we were fixing it :D

Yeah, I reckon that xr6 was a cop for sure......he just had that look about him. I'm sure it's the same xr6 turbo that had someone pulled over on the side of the service road in Springwood a couple of weeks ago.

I did say to someone at the time...."I think that was a cop", and he said naaahhhh, just some guy.

Too many questions (and cop type ones at that) for joe blow.

It *WAS* a cop. I used to be a public servant for the Queensland Police Service and I can tell you now, that car was a cop car.

Stupid me also turned down a job at the traffic camera office so I could get out of the public service. I feel very stupid now :D

Heh, everyone used to reckon I was a cop... Until they saw the way I drove. They forgot about that theory pretty quickly :D

There were some pro's to working in the police service. But a lot of the stuff you heard was all secret squirrel... SO yeah.

Stupid me also turned down a job at the traffic camera office so I could get out of the public service. I feel very stupid now :D

Bet you're kicking yourself now.

Man, once you get into the public service, you're set for life LOL, the government gravy train!!

OK People got a hold of a pretty crappy camera and took some pics of my bent up bits, if you can even see them in the pics, Anyway it looks like there's more bent than just the lower control arm, bit of the steering, the bit that sticks out the side of the rack, plus various other bits of metal I have no clue the name of which I dont know if they are bent, or just normally like that :D any suggestions, other than getting a better quality camera?

Pics are quite large so I'll just post a link, those who are interested can have a squiz:

Thanks.

Yeah niether could I, stupid peice of crap, Well I suggest the next Thursday meeting start off at my place so I can get someone who knows what they are looking at tell me what i need to replace. :D

There is nothing worse then going out and buying parts, just to get it up on a hoist and reaise you need more bits! :|

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
