40L of oil dumped on the road in Nasho. Was late Saturday night apparently. 2 cars written off.

Funny quote from the cops:

"One theory is that the oil might have been placed by car enthusiasts who have long used the Royal National Park as a night-time venue for illegal drag racing and drifting.

However, Inspector Rae said it was unlikely drifters were responsible.

''This is not a common thing for drifters to do,'' he said. ''They don't need to do that. They drift without oil.''"

Two of my friends were out there at the time, they said the cars smashed was a blue/grey 180sx with black Rota wheels, the other was a white R33 gtst with HUSSU# number plates with stock wheels. They were not part of the convoy and did not know any of the guys involved.

Hopefully they and their cars will be ok and they won't be roped in with the 'convoy of high powered cars' that were there as well. Surprised the journos didn't make the association on the basis of the types of cars they were driving.

They just said "Sir Bertram Stevens Drive, near the Warumbul Road turn-off"

so it looks like that right-hand hairpin as you go south, shortly after you go over the causeway (not long into the drive after you leave Princes Hwy).

wonder if it was a bunch of haters? like haters of imports?

I have once been on a forum where they bag out imports so much, but keep posting up how they keep getting beatn on the street/track/strip etc.. but yet pay them out so much.

I derno.. just a thought

That thought crossed my mind as well; that it could have been someone (who is pretty messed up) in a misguided attempt to "teach those hoodlums a lesson". Would have required not thinking about how it's just as likely some family wagon could've come round there though. And there aren't really any houses right near that corner to my knowledge.

Yeah thats where it was, I drove through there today, there are still signs up saying 'oil on road' around that corner

Yeah except the article said the cops reckon the way it was put over the road looked very deliberate.

They put lots of sand down and a biker still slid over on it.

Wonder if the insurance companies of the affected drivers will be waiving the excess?

    • 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.
