Looks like a great cruise... Really sorry I missed it, and I fell that I must take some responsibility for the apparent excessive speeds. In Future I will highlight the need to just overtake and go for a "little" blat, not take off down the road.

But that is over now.

I'm glad that everyone had a grat time, and if there is enough interest I am happy to organise two Putty trips a year. What say all you crazy speeding hoons :) ???

Dan.

crazy Canberrians.Just like the Prime Minister.

$250=some sort of performance mod :ph34r:

I only spend about $60 in fuel that day. and about $30 on food yummy!

Used about 400km for 3/4 of a tank which was the best ive had it.

i spent about $150 i think??

me and Bridget had an awesome weekend!!!...lots of funny moments...like my gear knob flying off mid gear change....we were pissing ourselves laughing (maybe it's a blonde thing lol)..

not as many people turned up as what I expected but there was enough!! (last year the maccas car park was full!)

i have some piccys here: http://www.pbase.com/driftspice/gallery_20

sorry... there's not many... i'm usually miz paparazzi :)

i have comments on earlier things said in this thread, but i really cant be bothered ...i think the majority of us had a great day.....bring on the next one!! :D

ps. had dinner on Church St Parramatta after the cruise - anyone here doing laps?? I saw heaps of lines :lol:

So interest for a second one... maybe late March I'm thinking... just the other side of the hot season, but still some leaves on the vines!

Sounds good to me :)

...I'll definately do the overnighter in the Hunter again as well as I'm sure I'll have well and truely consumed the wine bought last weekend by the time the next cruise comes around.

Although next time, I think I'm gonna sit right at the back of the pack from the start and stay out of the way from the rest of you crazy mofo's :O

    • 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.
