traffic was pretty messed up from it.

i was just about to get off at calga, and the cop waved at me.. told me to follow 5 highway patrol cars down the freeway to gosford.. we were doing like 5km/h the whole way, had a huge headache by the end of it from all the flashing lights.

when we went past the accident scene it was all clear, was like grass and dirt on the rd a bit, but the cops (and im guessing towtrucks) into the old look out on the north side of the bridge, saw all the flashing lights in there as were coming down the bridge.

Our prayers go out to the persons family that died in the crash.

"Police from the Metropolitan Crash Investigation Unit are appealing for witnesses following yesterday’s fatal crash on the F3.

The collision occurred about 1km south of the Peats Ridge Road on-ramp, Somersby, about 4.30pm yesterday (Monday 30 May).

Early investigations suggest a silver Holden Commodore, being driven by a 52-year-old man, was travelling south when it crossed to the incorrect side of the road and collided with three other vehicles.

The driver of the Commodore suffered fatal injures and died at the scene.

The 38-year-old driver of a Nissan GTR suffered multiple fractures and he remains in hospital, while the 50-year-old driver of a Barina suffered a broken sternum and also remains in hospital.

The third driver of a Ford was not injured."

Good to hear, however still unfortunate that there was a death. Condolences to all involved, their friends and family. It's a shit section of road at the best of times.

Like the others here best wishes for him and hope the surgery goes well.

I'm sure it goes without saying that if there is something the club can do, please let us know.

Thanks Eric, he will be extremely appreciative of the support from SAU

Maybe we should organise a hospital drive by cruise so he can at least hear the RB music :teehee:

Seriously though, if there is a DVD player in his room I can bring some videos of club events and I have a stack of motive DVD's I'm happy to loan him if he's going to be stuck in the hospital for a while.

I know what it's like to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, but luckily I walked away with just some physio.

Thanks Eric - You've just shown once again what a brilliant and supportive community we have here at SAU - I will be visiting him later today and will pass on all the messages of support.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      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/
