So..... I met up with Linton and Kristov yesterday, and we're thinking that since none of us are really keen to enter, but keen for the cruise and perving (on sexy ass skylines that is! :) ), that maybe those of us not entering could prob leave a little bit later.

I was thinking maybe leave somewhere like the twin Shells at 9:30am, so that we're getting down there when the gates actually open to sticky beekers.

What do some of you guys think?

im not going to enter my car but am going to cruise down so tell me where and what time ill be staying at charlestown just near charlestown square so can any one help me as im just a country boy and dont know my way around the big smoke

Hey you guys really should enter, if your car is good enough to make it down the highway it is good enough to compete! Its not about show quality cars, its about a bunch of people that like Skylines checking out each other's cars :cheers: Just pretend its a carpark at a cruise, you get the idea :)

Duncan.... everyone is saying enter....i cant see the point personally. im not trying to be negative.... but my idea of a show and shine is going down to see some fully sick skylines, like the gibson motorsports cars and Leewahs GTR and other cars like that, that inspire me to do great things with my 33, i dont want to walk around and look at 50 stock r33s and grandpa r31s. id rather borrow my old 31 and drive down in that as its got more balls and gets more respect than my 33 does....

also, my 33 has a fairly stock motor with a few add ons, nothing special, sure it has a bodykit and 18" dished Work meisters, but they have some gutter damage, and the kit is falling off from drift damage, and the bootllid has a few marks in it from trying to get the wing off.... not exactly an ideal show car... its a drivers car that gets driven.

just my 2 cents, i know a few other guys that feel the same way too... so im looking fwd to having a good cruise, in mine or someone elses car, and seeing a bunch of balls out skylines.

cheers

Linton

Yeah I totally understand what you mean...I guess I am trying to say we are just a skyline club, not some over the top show car bonanza....sure there will be some great cars there but I'd also like to see heaps of club members cars there as well :cheers:

hmmm, you make a good point duncan, i'm happy to enter and support the club if other guys are....maybe we 'newy' people could all huddle all our cars together at the show. at least we will get a good park :aroused:

plus you wouldn't be wasting your money hey gruntn...hehe

....it's just my car, and perhaps a few other people's cars have some blemishes that we don't want to have pointed out all day.

what do other people think? i know its a bit late but i suppose i will still enter if other people will....safety in numbers :uhh:

when is the latest we could enter..?

Ih8vls, just grab a map and look at those pics i uploaded earlier on to see where to meet bro. Shouldn't be too hard, just allow a good 15-20mins to drive from charelstown to walsend (in-case you get lost).

Dean what time are you and linton meetin up? Thus, what time & where does that mean you will be picking up the directional expertise co-driver? (that is dave) :P:D

Ill bring my UHF along too, however i still did get lost last time even though i had that... :slap:

:confused: well im confused on who is entering now abo-bob look's like nyl83r & myself are keen josh wizard2k are u still keen to enter??

    • 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.
