Hey all,

If your not a Mushroom you would know by now that the SAU Nationals 2013 is being held in South Australia this year.

It's a bit of a trip but reward yourself and take some well earned time off work and make the Journey.

I encourage you all to consider as these are AWESOME events. Much fun during the days and shenanigans in the evenings.

A number of us ACT peeps represented @ Shepparton Vic in 2011 and Goulbourn NSW in 2012.

Best opportunity to meet the rest of the Skyline community and have some unforgettable times.

This year the organisers have done great and organised BULK accommodation. Meaning everyone can stay at the one venue.

Yes I'll be going and I'll be driving the GTR.

Bit of a Nostalga trip also. Haven't been to S.A for about 25yrs.

Grew up in a number of places in SA from Semaphore, Port Adelaide, Smithfield plains to Inverbrackie up in the Hills. (Army brat)

Got my first tatt on Hindley street near Rundle Mall ! (ye old eagle - lol).

I'm going to go for a beer at Eagle on the Hill too. Never be the same as the original.

I remember the Dukebox and Astroids/PACman/Frogger table game, bucket of hot chips and a fire engine :)

Small stone pub and had to duck to get through the doorways. Awesome old pub.

Even tried tipping the soccer bus over on Devils Elbow when single lane and it turned in on itself.

No, a bit far out. Just seeking ACT interest at the moment.

Also want to see when NSW crew may cruise past and see if it suits.

Will plan with Kyle and any others and see how we lock in with each others thinking.

Accommodation will be the first thing locked in/down.

I hate the Hay plains so much I can't even tell you how many times I've done that freaking trip.

I wish I could go and have the GTR in my old stomping grounds (I grew up in Adelaide) however too close to my US trip in November.

Look forward to seeing pics and footage, will be an epic convoy!

I too have done hay plains one to many times (every year for the past 21 years)

not sure if ill drive or tow yet. will see what happens. if i tow it gives the advantage of having more space + if (when) someone breaks something/has a problem we could shuffle their car onto the trailer. something to think about i spose

      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/
