ferni: Yeah i actually noticed that myself....might look into some kind of brace/support bars at either end....i dunno....saw a few nice flames from MSPEC....and from sitting behind him you almost dont notice that huge wing cauz it lines up perfectly with the roof line an pillars...lol...then he turns a corner an you couldn't miss it!!!

if we could get a group buy on custom made carbra's I'd be in for sure!! mine would be the same as an R33GTR, but theres so many different style fronts out there, they'd have to be made to suit

I say get over it you cant point the blame, chances are no matter who you were following you would have coped a beating. When you go those speeds you have to cope the consequences. Ferni flicked heaps at me but I am not going to blame him because who ever was behind me would have coped the same shit. There was gravel on the road at a lot of places. Next time the organizers should get some road cleaners to go over our route first :(

It don’t cost much to fix the front bar anywayz. Eric at Paint Pro Works does my bar for $200 and usually does the stone chips on the hood for free, good guy!

hehe yeah i was following up towards the winery behind u and i couldnt care less... then again its my gfs car lol

but yeah it happens... i remember my line on the GOR cruise over a year ago got hammered cause me and jack in his GTR were having a bit of fun on the way back :(

lol no i was hanging back cause there were 4 other cars WELL behind us... i was trying to keep in between u and them so I could see u and THEY could see me :(

that fat boat of a car is pretty damn quick all things considering... she can hold her own ground :D

That was a great day, Thanks for the orginazer ;P and hopefully will have another one soon. How many of you did the jump in the afternoon? I m talking abt the 4 wheel in the air at 100km plus jump in the 2 line country road. I remember i was the 1st lead and the R31 race car following me:P

MSPEC: yeah for sure....nice photo to compare...lol....but i still think yours has a couple of inch's on mine :( looks sweet as!!

as for the stone chips....i dont think anyone is really pointing blame (appart from one post i read i think?) jus pointing out that fact that next time we have to be a bit more careful, or get some form of prevention....alaa car bra's. I dont think a cruise where everyone was spaced 15-20 car spaces apart would be much fun, an can always remove the bra's for photos...look nice an clean too!!..lol

    • 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
