Mentioned to Nick on Saturday at the tech arvo the need for more Stagea meet ups, even if its just a carpark meet while the weather is still good, which he agreed with. We should try & meet atleast once a month I reckon.

Yep, the quick discussion between Gav and I was to (even at a minimum) just have an occasional meet-up where we can sit back and just talk shit.

Guys im up for anything aslong as it involves a nice drive somewhere.

Once a month sounds good to me.

Im new to the late model import scene so im not sure how you boys roll.

Im used to cutting loose in a old school mazda, but times have changed and dont need all the bullshit that comes with that territory anymore.

Ill leave that to later on when my daughter has to put up with it in my mazda. Lol.

What part of Sydney are you from, Dave?

I was thinking along the lines of Church point on Pittwater rd.

Im not tech savvy to put up maps and directions etc when organising cruises.

If someone wants to make it official they can.

I wasnt real sure of the interest, so I wasnt planning on making it official.

Im keen to cruise anywhere tho.

Why not try something new - never been done before?

Stageas deserve that!

Easy for you guys.

BBQ Plate Facilities (old style) with wood supplied

not that keen on the train museum, I used to do electrical work there and yeah its nice to see the trains but I couldn't be bothered LOL.

might not be everyone's cup of tea but end of month meets at Harry's Liverpool isn't to bad (Friday nights) get a lot of muscle and a fair few rotor's there and a bunch of wankers in their bombodore's and falcraps etc

not so many jap cars there to speak of but it's not a bad place to chill and meet up with mates........

but yeah a monthly meet up wouldn't be a bad idea....... should get more Stagea's to the SAU cruise's too!!! been on a few and probably only seen a couple turn up on the odd occasion.

I don't mind organising another cruise if no one else wants too..........

You did a cracker of a job last time Theo!

A Harry's monthly meet could be a great option.

A mate with an Ex Street Machine cover blown XB Coupe gets down there with his club sometimes, seems quite family friendly too.

End of month at Harrys is ok if you head down around 4pm.

The later it gets the more tools come out and spoil it for everyone.

How bout Cordaux Dam, Wilton?

Been there for a few Rotary cruises and its a nice spot.

And after if anyone wants to head down to the gong?

Stanwell tops?

Im up for anything.

Anyone keen on cruisin during the week at all?

Lets get things rolling, it seems everyone's toey to cruise.

Not another rotor nut who owns a stag? Im kidding

Would love to turn up with the new motor but end of feb/early march ill in melb getting it done.

I reckon have a cruise in March/April,

a run down the royal national park is always awesome and stop down at the pub in the gong (Cnr Achilles Ave & Flinders St) for a meal and then down to the light house for some photo's

maybe start at Bunnings Kirawee (Bath Rd) to the pub in the gong (1hr 15min's drive)

cheers, Theo.

    • 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.
