Hey camma, I need to know where the final destination is so I can pitch this to the journos. They are hard enough to sell sh*t to, they have to book crews and all kinds of crap so let me know asap.

Also who did you speak to at NCA? I think I might be able to help in that regard also.

Yea im with leigh....

Gravel carpark and nice cars dont mix..

Stickers are good, maybe on pub tuesday they can be given out.. and even on the day.

Although the more lines the better... but keeping the club seperate from outsiders would be good....incase they do something stupid... "There not with us"

Stevie the NCA have been contacted and I require a joint decision from them and the Museum before approval to use the car park can be provided. I spoke to the Venue and Bookings Coordinator on Wednesday and she was confident about providing an answer early next week.

Whats the plan with the Journos are they going to the meeting place or destination or both?

Heres a thought just for the SAU crowd, and this might be a bit early but should we all meet up before we go to starting place with the rest of the clubs. So as that we can all park in same area, and it would look cool. lol.

I will wait until you get a decision from the NCA and the Museum then once thats approved I can draft up a small release about the cruise and what charity the money wil be donated to etc... And then I will do a ring around and see if I can get WIN and the ABC to turn up ( this would give great local TV coverage) and the local papers might be interested too. Although I will say now, getting journos to come to anything is a struggle (funny how its impossible to keep them away when you dont want them around!)

The best we could hope for is some journos turning up at the museum. I will have to have a long chat to you as we get closer to the date to discuss the details.

camma on another forum:

OK, the ACT AFP have been informed and I have recieved a response.

An extract from the response....

"AFP - ACT Policing have no objections to the Charity Drive taking place on the 13th February 2005.

This is on the proviso that all conditions set by ACT Urban Services or

any other ACT Government Body are adhered to, any conditions set by any Federal Government Agency are to be adhered to."

and further...

"The responsibility for the running of the event rests with the event organisers, not the Australian Federal Police. It is the event organisers' responsibility to ensure that all officials involved in the event, along with those participating, spectating and the general public, are able to perform their business in a safe manner."

With that in mind I would like to advise that everyone who attends should drive in a safe manner, i.e. doesnt be a dickhead! I am now finding out what approval needs to be provided to become an "official event organiser".

And yep ALL funds raised will be going to the Red Cross.

Thanks mate.

As mentioned on my site I am still going through the approval process with the NCA and Museum to use the car park and have a meeting with the Venue and Bookings Coordinator to discuss logistics on Monday. Approval or otherwise will be provided on Monday. The destination will be the Cotter a map of the exact location will be provided closer to the date (once the meeting place is confirmed).

We currently have 11 clubs confirmed that they will be making an appearance. This is going to be a big meet.

Some clubs are thinking of going to the Kingo after the cruise so if your up for a few drinks, see you there!

It has now been confirmed. The NMA has approved use of teh carpark.

The museum carpark has been booked in for the 13th February from 10:00am to 11:00am. I will be there to co-ordinate where the cars are to parked for the meet before the drive.

Just a reminder that driving like a tard is not acceptable. Here is an example of what happens when drives go wrong...

With the cars people are bringing to the event we dont want anyone being stupid and damaging our prides and joy.

That said, should be a great drive and a big performance car meet for a good cause.

Stevie - are you able to do your thing with the media?

I just had a read of that thread and i hate to be a party pooper, but are we sure there will be enough room at the museum carpark? the posts in that thread keep saying that there wasn't enough space at the meetup point.

Just checking, is all - I'm really looking forward to this and you've done a great job camma. :rant:

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
