SAU NSW - Cruise - Burragorang Lookout - Sunday 26th March


Recommended Posts

Well, folks! Now, we've gone and done it! We're bringing out a cruise destination from the SAUNSW vault that hasn't been done in almost a decade! We're heading to Burragorang Lookout! In case you're wondering, Burragorang Lookout is located near Warragamba Dam, where you'll be able to see just how far Warragamba's catchment area is!

This is a fairly simple cruise, with few turns, which is also local - consider it a hidden treasure in Sydney's backyard!

So without any ado, here are the details:

Date: Sunday 26th March
Meet Location: Red Rooster, M4, Eastern Creek (West-bound)
Meet Time: Meet at 9:00am for a 9:30am departure
Destination: Burragorang Lookout, Burragorang Road, Nattai

We'll be meeting at the Red Rooster carpark at the west-bound Twin Servo's on the M4 (heading west-bound).

After our usual briefing, we'll be entering onto the M4, and will continue along until we reach the Mulgoa Road exit to Penrith. At this exit, we'll turn left onto Mulgoa Road, and follow it along.

After turning left onto Mulgoa Road, we'll very quickly come up to a roundabout, where we'll turn right to continue along Mulgoa Road.

We'll stay on Mulgoa Road until we arrive in Wallacia, where we'll turn right onto Silverdale Road.

Silverdale Road is another long stretch of road we'll be running on, until we get to another roandabout in The Oaks, where we'll turn right again on Mary Street, which later becomes Burragorang Road. We then follow this all the way until we reach the lookout.

After we walk around and stretch our legs for 30 min, we'll then head to Camden Valley Inn for a bite to eat and a drink, for all of you who would love to join us.

Camden Valley Inn is only a stone's throw away from Burragorang Lookout - all we do is follow Burragorang Road all the way back the way we came until we reach the Old Hume Hwy at a T-intersection. From there, we turn right onto the Old Hume, and follow it for a few short minutes until we reach Camden Valley Inn, which will be located on the right on Wire Lane.

As always, there will be a lead and follow car so no one should get lost.

We will be passing through some residential areas along our drive, so your best behaviour is most appreciated.

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 track days.

This is an official SAU:NSW event and will be run under a Motorsport Australia 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!

    • 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/
