run home was good. no traffic like usual on a sunday.

what did everyone think overall?

personally there were a few mistakes on my part. which I will correct on the next cruise.

the ending I got a bit out of whack as I was trying to raise the other two cars via two way and missed a turn.

the UHF radio that I had (thanks andrew!!!) were commercial items . range was great ontehm as I was talking to brad and andrew whilst they were still on the hill whilst john and I were already on the flats. I had not idea what band they were on but it was not the 460mhz band. for the 3 of us using them they worked well and kept car spacing fairly even. not sure what was happening on ch8 UHF.

the road to hunchy (razorback rd) was a blast when I did it in the van and a HELL of a lot better in a R32. the astra driver that was in front of us realised quite quickly that there were a lot of cars behind him and moved out of the way.

I had a blast and I know that John (isola) was having his share of fun as well. colin you are a mad man !!

thanks for the support from the SAU team and you guys!!! without you it would not have happened. keep watching as there is another in the works!!

I have a SW and border run already in the mix. border run has already been mapped all I have to do is set a weekend aside to finalise the run before opening it up to the public.

for the next one I will have a 5w hand held UHF and the commercial units.

keep the feedback coming!!

It was a good day and a great drive. Razorback was well fun (even though you were hunting for a brake pedal on the passenger floor, Chris ;) ).

Looking forward to another one!

And Kenny, you bitch... where was my hello?! Actually... what car was yours?

Maaate, I was sitting opposite Chris on the table, my car was the wine red R32 GTR, OZR32 number plates. Where were you mang?

I was in the lead car with Chris. Red 32 with tri spoke wheels.

And I was sitting at one end of the table. I was looking for a white stag!

Hey Chris,

Other than those minor things (which I didn't really notice) it was a really fun way to spend a day, and man were those lunches HUGE. I'll be attending again, maybe in the wedge next time. :)

I know a few people took pics / videos on the day, any chance of some links or something??

there is a facebook page for it. search SAUQLD . if it wont let you add things - make request via the page and I'll sort it from there.

    • 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
