Hi Guys!

For our first cruise of the year we are organising a nice run up through Macquarie Pass.

While on this cruise we will of course enjoy the great scenery and awesome cars and company we would also like to take the opportunity and help one of our long term members, David Hennessy, who has unfortunately been battling cancer for the last few years.

If you have not met Dave he is a great bloke and shares a great passion like most of us, Skylines!

For more information about this please head over to David's Go Fund Me Page at https://www.gofundme.com/kefb68c4

We would ask all who would like to attend the cruise to donate a gold coin on the day.

There will also be for sale discounted SAU NSW merchandise with sale proceeds going towards this.

Now onto the cruise details.

Date: Sunday the 21st of February

Meet Location: KFC - The Crossroads Casula (Corner of Beech Road and Parkers Farm Place)

Meet Time: Meet at 9:30am for a 10:00am departure

Destination: Robertson Pie Shop

We will meet at KFC at the Crossroads and from here head onto the Hume Highway.

From this we will turn off onto Picton Road and follow this all the way into the Prices Motorway eventually reaching Albion Park.

The meet location is in front of St Paul's Catholic Primary School, Tongarra Road at around 11:00am - 11:30am.

Here we can make a quick rest stop to stretch our legs and allow everyone to catch up before heading off through Macquarie Pass.

If any lower west members would like to come this would be a good meet point.

From this it is a short trip up to Robertson Pie Shop for some of their famous pies and deserts.

There will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

We will also be bringing along walkie talkies to keep the group together so if you have one please bring it along.

If you would like to attend or bring others along please put your name down and a +1 as numbers will be needed prior!

This is NOT a race and we will all be adhering to all road rules. If this is what you want please come to one of our many track days.

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a CAMS permit.

One of the things that really sets our club apart is our commitment to being true enthusiasts. When on normal roads we strive to maintain good relations with the authorities as well as the public in general.

When attending one of Skylines Australia NSW events please try to:

• Be aware of surrounding environment and act accordingly.
• Drive courteously on the state’s roads as a true enthusiast should.
• Understand how important it is to maintain the good name of SAU:NSW and thus, treat others accordingly.

• Any misbehaviour will not be tolerated and you will be asked to leave.

Thanks guys and hope to see you there!

We need one of these... actually, make it two!

But in all seriousness, we hope everyone will have great time in the cruise without any issues.

Tez, I think we will have to make two briefings. Especially reminding everyone that the official cruise is from Casula Crossroads KFC to the pie shop. The return trip is not under the CAMS permit.

    • 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.
