Aus300Zx Fundraiser Cruise - Bbq - Show And Shine - 19/05/13


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

One of the more revered members at Aus300zx has fallen victim to an unfortuntate tragedy. Eric's wife is currently in a semi conscious state after dying for 35min and losing a lot of blood (3.5L or so)! All this happened a few days after she gave birth to their 4th child. The guy has had to close down his shop and stay at home as the primary caretaker. Definitely a major loss for them. (Full Story is here - http://www.aus300zx....ad.php?t=322395.)

Eric is the mechanic that a lot of the guys use and definitely knows his stuff and has a lot of credence and respect in their community.

You may remember Mike from aus300zx who joins us on different cruises, he's asked me to get you guys to join.

They reckon that they can bring 20 Zs for the cruise - lets show them what RBs (and VQs) can do!

  • WHY: A2ZED & WOOSHKA FUNDRAISER CRUISE - BBQ - SHOW & SHINE
  • WHEN: Sunday, 19th of May 2013
  • WHERE: Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure
  • WHO: OPEN TO EVERYONE!
  • WHAT TO BRING: CASH! :yes: ..lets not beat around the bush here!
  • ENTRY: What you can afford to give per car. Don't be a tight ass. I think a cost per car of $100 might be asking a bit much - so its really whatever you can contribute to the fundraiser.. (Even if its just $98 bucks!....) :woot: Seriously though, if thats too much, please just contribute whatever you can! .. like $95 bucks! (or whatever)...

Route:

  • Meet at Glenaffric St The Gap (there is a nice big carpark there) at say 9:30 for a 9:45-10 departure.
  • Cruise up over Mt Nebo and Mt Glorious. Stop at the bottom of Mt Glorious in one of the parks for a re-group and stretch of the legs.
  • Continue on to Fernvale Memorial Park on Brisbane Valley highway.
  • Arrive 12ish for a BBQ at 12:30.... everyone can sit around and have a good catchup!

Cost for BBQ:

  • $5 for a sausage in bun
  • $10 for a burger
  • $3 for a soft drink

"Yes inflated prices but its a fundraiser not a soup kitchen" - Loud'N'Proud ;)

Show and Shine 1pm - 2-2.30pm (THERE WILL BE PRIZES!)

Then head home via Warrego highway and Ipswich motorway.

We make available Wooshka stickers for donations / donating participants so you show off your support with pride! :woot:


Can you please advise early if you are coming so we can organise catering. Otherwise you might go hungry! (and ill take your money anyway! :yucky:

The guys would be there to help us if we lost one of our own (god forbid), so let's dig in and help them out!


Plenty of notice so hope to see you guys there!


Cheers,
Tony

Thanks Tony :)

Just noticed that Rob260 has started a similar thread in NSW section. The aus300 forum has planned a cruise in each state on the same day to show our support.

And for those that cannot attend, but still want to contribute, the fundraising bank account details are:

A/C Name: DRZED

BSB# 484.799

Edited by MagicMikeZ32

Can accomodate any numbers as long as we know :)

Also, re: show and shine prizes, I have no idea what they are, I am sure that when that was thought of, we were only considering zeds.

Just as some nice feedback, Coz from Concept z performance has pledged $1000 to the cause. He supplies parts for other nissans also:

I'm in!

My heart goes out to them. To endure a 20+ hour birth then to have that happen as well is just horrible. If there is anything you guys need a hand with let me know :)

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • 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?

    • 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/
