Hey guys,

I've been going to the cruise for charity for the last two years with my mate in his VY SV6, it's always good fun and a great day out. Especially 2010 the cruise route was awesome.

This year I'm thinking about bringing my own car for the cruise as every time I see other Skylines, even an RX3 last year.

Is anyone interested in coming along? Perhaps having our own little cruise within the cruise (of course donating to the charity cause as well)

I believe they're looking at Sunday the 21st October 2012 at the moment. I'll pose more details if there's any interest.

Thanks,

Teir.

I believe there is something like over 800 cars that go, and they are thinking it'll be MUCH larger this year, I understand they are all cruising to a motorsport venue (one that is large enough to house everyone) as an end point for a car show and stuff. (not sure if it's official yet, so i wont say where).

Like anything, you will always get morons, but the Police actually get involved with this due to the sheer size so muppet ratio should be markedly diminished.

Well you guys didn't need to post that in this guys thread in the first place go or don't go it's your decision no need to ruin a thread with speculation.

Well for starters it's not in the events section. Which it should be.

And secondly yusoangry4 are u thinking of buying a commodore lol

From the last two years it's been pretty calm. The odd idiot doing a burn out on the way out but with almost 1000 cars you gotta expect some idiots, but also as nismod said, there's cops, ALOT OF COPS. Cops at every entrance and exit, also along the cruise route. Personally, I haven't seen anything dangerous stupid...

To be honest, a few of us witnessed a much more dangerous maneuver at the SAU GOR cruise this year that was completely out of the ball park compared to what I've ever seen at the cruise for charity.

As for posting in events, I really wanted to just put a few feelers out, see who's interested. If it gets big enough and the mods want to organize anything, perhaps make a Member's cruise within the CfC of our own? Put in a donation together? If we get a big enough group and want to meet up ourselves and do it I don't mind organizing that either, as I said, just putting the feelers out.

Once we know the start and destination, and if mods don't want to organize anything I'll perhaps put something "official" in the events area and organize it.

      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?

      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/
