Hey all!

Time for an Official SAU NSW Putty Rd Cruise! This time around we are doing it for a charity- RSPCA. All we ask, is a gold coin donation on the day :)

Now because this is a charity cruise for the RSPCA, lets have some fun with our furry friends and dress up the cars :) whether we have all kinds of plush toys sitting on our back windows, Domo's sitting in our passenger seat, soft toys attached to the front grill, BE CREATIVE!!!

Date: Sunday the 22nd of April 2012

Meet location: Percival St carpark, Clarendon. (Map below)

Meet time: 10am for a 1030am SHARP departure

Destination: Crowne Plaza Hunter Valley

Maps: Below are two maps showing the meet point. If you are having trouble finding the meeting point, you can Google map search "Percival St Clarendon" and it will take you straight to the meet point

Important things to note;

1. Bring a full tank of petrol to the start point, there are no petrol stations/stops until Singleton.

2. Only place for 98 Octane fuel in Singleton is BP 53 George St, Singleton. They're open on Sundays.

3. You dont have to be a club member to come along to this event.

4. This will go ahead if raining, although if hail is forecast check this thread on the day to check (just incase) if its been called off. We will make this call the night before

5. This is not a speed event, its a cruise. Want to speed? Come to one of our trackdays instead!

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.There will be

NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club. <

any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy.

As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to buy at the pub at the end :).

Bring a walky talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start. Remember to dress those cars up!!

Crowne Plaza is at Lovedale, its roughly 20->25mins once we get off Putty Road guys... We end up in Lovedale @ Crowne Plaza, Country & Golf Club which is 10minutes from Cessnock itself. There are numerous service stations BP, Caltex in Cessnock.

Originally the plan was to turn at Milbrodale and cut across to lovedale through Broke, seemed like the most direct route, although its not confirmed as yet. Anything we should know about these roads? I do know there is a wooden bridge, one lane, at the end of Milbrodale Rd.

      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/
