Hello everyone at skylinesaustralia.com :P

I'm a 21 year old guy (philip) from Stockholm, Sweden - home of GiS and Ghostrider.

Anyway - I'm going to Sydney (and hopefully a lot of other places around australia)

and figured, since I've grew to become one of Zatzy.com´s

"filmographers", I might bring my camera to check out what's

going on downunder...

So what's up with this thread then... ?

Well, Since I basicly don't know anyone that's connected to legal

(or illegal for that matter) streetracing/racing @ strip I ended up

here - asking for your help.

If you know of any car fairs, shows, cruises, races etc please

send me a PM. It'd be fun to show off some skylines, as there's only

about 5 or 6 of them in Sweden.

Zatzy.com sports 11 000 members, most of which love streetracing

and modified/tuned cars more than anything else.

So if you own, or know, cars that you think might be of interest

for me to film please send me a PM - preferably adding a link or

pictures of the car(s) ...

I'll touch down in Sydney January 27th and stick around Australia

for about ~100 days - till the middle of may anyway.

All answers, mails, ICQ messages, PM's are greatly apreciated :wavey:

If you feel like checking out some of my previous footage follow

the links below... you'll need divX 5.02 (or later) to see them.

You'll have enough film footage to last a lifetime!!!

Got an adress there... ?

I've never been to Sydney before, treat me like a total newbie (at least Australia-geography-wise) :bahaha:

I liked the last part of your post btw... :P

I hope you're right

dont pay out sweden, they have produced many fine punk rock products, MILLENCOLIN, and NO FUN AT ALL, just to mention a couple.

Must'nt forget GiS and Ghostrider there :)

So far I've yet to see some other country's streetracers pull something of that of the above movies' magnitute off...

I take only note on serious posts here anyway, so no worries Boxhead.

Anyway, I'd still like to get some more info - are there any "official"

streetracing organisation? In Stockholm, there's at least two.

Gaasa i Täby and Cityrace. (http://www.cityrace.nu/)

Cityrace have invited me to make movies for them this summer.

Last august they sealed off one of the main streets in stockholm

and ran races there. Police not too happy about it though :lol:

Here're some movies of what I hope to capture on film... I dunno

what to expect of Sydney streetracers so I might be grasping into

thin air.

http://213.114.235.165/~johi/cityrace-city.mpg @ Sveavägen (A few 100 meters from the city core)

http://213.114.235.165/~johi/Cityrace3.mpg @ Valhallavägen (mentioned above)

Both videos above are filmed in Central Stockholm.

The server they're at might be slow as a ****ing donkey at times

and the editing isn't much to horray about either - that's why I

entered the "official" filmographer JoHi's realm to stir some shit up

and get some kick-ass streetracing movies out there.

Enjoy.

Those of you, who feel that you or your friends have cars out

of the ordinary to show off, are still more than welcome to send me

a PM. Pics are apreciated... :(

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
