So what we all meet up at about 9 at reggta take some photos, meet the new ppl and go have some fun and help a charity.

OK-9 am sharp at Regatta point it is! Maybe we can hold off on photo's and too much hanging around until we go the 3 minutes to the Museum,huh? That way,we can get there in good time,set up,meet ppl,and have a look at all the other club's rides,too. Otherwise we may wind up standing around for just a smidge too long and have to do a rush job just to get a spot at the museum:remember the cruise starts at 10. Maybe those dead keen to catch up before hand can get to Regatta Point earlier than 9?

Just on the topic of this cruise,please remember that this is all in aid of the Tsunami victims. Alot has been mentioned about money to be donated,and the authorities,and who's car isn't quite right to go,andwho c.b.f. attending,or who will be killer hungover from the night before....when it all comes down to it,there's 275,000 people dead at last count. There are people sleeping next to dead relatives and loved ones under corrugated iron. The water is like sewage in some places:and that's all they've got to drink. It could be years before they get back to some normality in their lives. Imagine 9/10ths of Canberra's ENTIRE population dead,and you're getting close. So,I say $10 or more each is a very worthwhile investment from a bunch of people that are out on a Sunday enjoying their vehicles. Makes the little things that p**s us off every day seem pretty minor,huh? I don't want to preach-I'm a non-believer,anyway-but for those that are in two minds about coming along:pull your finger out and make the effort:at least you've got the option...

    • 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.
