it said on weatherzone, 85% chance of 1-5mm for newcastle region.

not sure if this counts as our drive though, expecting not but dont know where any other place is as im new to up here haha.

Now that I've fixed my washer jet connections, bring on the rain I say

When I first got the car, pulling the wiper stalk would get the front wipers going but spray the rear window; twisting the collar would get the rear wiper going and spray the windscreen. :wacko:

I just saw that too, hoping it clears by sat, realy wanna go on this drive

Is your skyline one of those super super super rare ones that doesn't have a roof and won't work in the wet?

Im down like donkey kong even if rains!! I've organised many successful cruises where it happend to rain and my mate still brang out his Murcielago ;) who cares, still cruise people... rain never hurt, just take a lot more care

for real??? from Newcastle to Richmond for putty RD?

that's dedication.. :cheers:

Ha its not that much more than the round trip for you guys in Sydney though...

one thing to think about with rain, besides of course if you have a convertable skyline ha is that a weeks worth of rain on rural roads (most likely crappy sprayed sealed ones, and not much ashaplt) that probably takes its fair share of heavy vehicles (never been up putty road so dont really know what its like) will have a servere effect on the roads wearing course, ie large pot holes and rocks/debris... unless there is a bit of dry weather i doubt the council will go fill up the holes before the weekend, could be wrong though...

Just a forwarning, the roads could be in horrible condition??... Just saying as i design roads for a living is all..

    • 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
