Well...I guess it's about time to call last drinks,turn the machine off,thankyou linesmen and ballboys: R.I.P. trivia night.

Never mind that Sin' started what I believed was a regular excuse for banter and laughter between friends. Never mind that the trivia girl was usually a good laugh and occasionally flashed some G. Never mind it was the one night you would just KNOW that someone you'd know was shooting pool or desperately tryng to answer the correct spelling for Vladivostok,Russia. Hell,even Dani' in the mighty FTO would come along when she was sick...

Not a single soul tonight made for a depressed me. A real shame,and absoultely NO reflection on a great idea that lead to many fun filled Tuesday nights until now. I loved trivia night almost as much as the people that attended it.

I think it's had a compounding effect, we lost Sin' so a couple stopped turning up, we lost them so a few more stopped turning up.

I didn;t go last night cause i knew purely and simply that we might be lucky enough to get 1 or 2 there.

Jayce: I messaged 'Ric to let you know i wasn't going so hopefully you got that message as i wanted to make sure you didn't get a nasty suprise to find i wasn't there.

It's a true shame, I really do love going, but when you have to start going at 8 just to make sure at least your best 2 friends will be there (J and E) it only leaves an hour and a bit of socialising and when the driving takes an hour, it loses it's thrill.

: sorry Jayce.

A million reasons why most have stopped showing up (last night I worked till after 9), but it shows that it became an effort some ppl no longer felt like making or not as often. I still beleive xxx aint trivial :P

We have a Great opportunity to do something else new and exciting. Im certain there is a heap of enthusiasm amongst us. I'm up for almost anything.

IDEAS PLEASE

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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/  
    • 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.
