So, at the Stagea 15th Anniversary cruise, Terry, Eric, Dave and myself mentioned that we have quite a few events left to run before the year is out, and we'd ALL love to see more Stageas attending and taking part. Here's a quick run-down of our remaining events for the year:

I would love to go to more but tonight is my bucks night and I get married in 3 weeks and work is flatout. Once it all calms down count me into all events I promise after the cruise 2 weeks ago I am now even more in love with my stagea and how it handled in the wet I want to see it on a track.

See you at the legends dinners....and I promise I'll start going to a couple of track days and other fun events as soon as it get the current problem sorted and both of the new diffs in.

would love to get out and have some fun but not to sure how the M35 would handle the tightness of the TexiKahana.

the trackday would be sick but its a fair drive down just for the day.............

My Soarer weighs 1700kgs + signle spinner diff and beat SSS pulsars etc in the wet at texi

Sadly won't make the Suspension tech night; Nightshift.:down:

Any Texi spots left? I bet nobody has seen an incompetent driver wobble a Black Volvo around witches hats before?:whistling:

Need to get that SAU membership form filled out; thanks Nick.

I'd love to make it to more events, but travel time is an issue in my situation. Another problem for me is that the car is my daily, which kinda rules out trackdays for the time being, as much as I would like to do one. Breaking the daily while its a couple hundred km's away from home would suck, to say the least.

i reakon the trouble will be huge turning circle, the throttle restriction off the line and not being able to use the hand brake (foot brake) LOL plus its not manual LOL.............

but yes a wet track might help a bit!!!

Hi Nick. The link in your sig needs fixing.

The link to the membership forms? I'll check that soon...

Leon, I checked the link and fixed it. Seems as though the thread the original link was in had been moved.

Shame you won't make it, Dale.

Plenty of Texi spots left, and if it doesn't fill out (which is unusual, so get in quick) it just means you can spend more time out there on the skidpan, or take longer breaks between runs and not run the risk of missing out.

Do it, Theo! (And EVERYONE, for that matter!) Don't worry about times, just come out and have fun! I'm sure you'll get around the corners much better than the guys from the Camaro club who brought their cars out for one of our days. You know what Yank cars are like: nice to look at and go damned fast in a straight line, but as soon as it comes to slowing down and taking a corner, they just speared off on their own little adventures. :ph34r::whistling:

meh are you there to be the 1 car that wins or one of the 40 cars that has a great day's fun?

This man, he knows! And he is exactly right! Our days are designed for fun so you can throw your car around to your heart's content with no risk to your license.

    • 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/
