Hello all,

After 8 years away from SAU and owning a beloved Skyline, I'm back :)

To celebrate, I'd like to organise a small night cruise. I've met some awesome people through SAU some of which I still keep in contact with today. I'm hoping to meet more skyline fans and hopefully make this more regular.

Remember the rules, no stupid driving, no unnecessary attention and always follow the lead car. This is a cruise, so let's enjoy it. It's always a pleasure watching the publics reaction when they are watching in amazement a whole heap of skylines humming together.

When: 23rd November

Time: Midnight

Place: Fivedock - office works car park, next to shell Fivedock, KFC and McDonalds on parramatta road.

Cruise - city, to William street, through double bay, around vaucluse, come back through Bondi, down oxford street and then back on to parramatta road heading to hungry jacks car park in Croydon (next to Indiana motor cycles and just before the BP)

Lead car: Black R34 - with chrome deep dish wheels

Please reply with confirmation if you are attending.

Thanks,

Assasin

So far, the most I've ever had in a cruise was nearly 65 skylines, that was to wisemans ferry - check out previous cruises and photo galleries :)

This will be a regular thing as I miss the good old cruises. Nothing better than a skyline on the road! :)

The next cruise will be a beach to beach drive, and so much more planned. Stay tuned :)

A copper pulled me over last night just to tell me I had a nice car! Wierd! What happened to all the other skylines? LoL

"Assassin" is my brother and I'll vouch for the big numbers he used to pull in his cruises. I've now owned a 33 for about 6 months and I'm looking forward to reliving the same spirit back then and potentially running my own cruises as soon as my car's complete

Nice drive boys!

Highlight of the night - watching everyone in the city eye googling our cars and shouting "it's a skyline"!

Are we really that rare in number?!

I'm hoping more will join us for the next cruise

:)

An awesome night it was James and Dan. It was great to meet both of you and have a good chat over coffee - Thanks again :cheers:

Indeed the highlight of the night were the pretty ladies admiring our cars as we rolled past. Such class! I hope we get more numbers for the next one.

Pics by Milan will be up soon :yes:

Awesome drive fellas. I miss seeing the awe of other cars when they see us in a group together. Rumor has it that Newport Beach is gonna be bombarded with skylines on the 7th of December ;)

James, you know I'll always be supporting your cruises. Raj, looking forward to seeing you and your spectacular car again. Keep in touch

Obviously, this would have been the case if I was there in my GT-R - because the driver isn't so crash hot :no:

The girls were disappointed when they didnt see the famous "hot asian guy in an N1" they all kept hearing about.

All the more incentive to come to the next cruise, Terry! :)

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
