And did anyone else notice the old car / bike show that we passed in the middle of nowhere, kind of near Oakville?

Hope that David and Longz can get their notices cleared ASAP.

Thanks for organising Joely, shame about some of the crowd but it's hard to avoid that with multi-club cruises, I think we made the right choice in hanging back as everyone else started to leave Silverwater, put it that way.

i saw them all heading there, didnt see there meet up point as we took a detour, after getting seperated from you guys. coincidently enough our detour went straight to kfc before going to windsor boat ramp....amazing :whistling:

agreed about hanging back was the right idea, i just wish i had a UHF would have made it alot less stressful haha

Good time at the cruise everyone! Our convoy manage to avoid most of the retardation thankfully. I had a real good time afterwards heading to the lookout and grabbing some seafood and steak with the club.

Big shout to Terry, Bob, David, Longz, Sean and Matt for showing a visiting Canuck a good time with SAU! Hope to see you guys again in MacPass.

I got one picture that day before my camera died :( Then I failed to remember the iPhone I was holding in my pocket lol.

I've asked for them on OzFoz forum.

And rgb, we had a great talk too on the day.

BTW, Sean's car makes all cameras DIE!!! Even MaTBoY's flash unit can't stay steady in front of that white beast!!! :P

How bout the ppl took pics at the silverwater boat ramp? do you know who did Terry?

Sorry Kelvin No.

I was trying to let any SAUers know that we were operating on Channel #11 on UHFs and that we were going to cut out if there were any shenanigans.

So making up the final group, the only shenanigans was by Po-po-nazi

Lol yeah I think my camera said to itself: If I'm going to die, I want Sean and Terry's GTRs to be the last thing I see :D

Gold wheels are "IN" Sean!

OzFoz guys Josh and Dane have made contact. They took moving pics of the Skylines by stopping before the Gorge and waiting for us.

Their pics will be received and posted up sometime next week. :cheers:

PS They also said they'd like to come along on any future cruise with the 'Lines. :action-smiley-069:

whats up with a random Lotus Esprit V8? love it!

I don't think that's one of the V8 models, Patrick. They only came along very late in the life of the car, that one in the photos looks like an early- to mid-90's version.

Yeah it was a turbo V6. Sounded real nice.

Turbo inline four guys! 2.2 litre, 1993. Spoke to Nice bloke Ben who imported it personally fro the UK. One of my all time fave cars. This era Esprit was driven by Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct...

2.2l Four S4s in '95 adopted the larger rear wing from Sport300, larger inlet ports, larger turbo, cylinder head mods, recalibrated ECM > 0-60mph in 4.6sec

Nicer looking than earlier versions I think....

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
