I have to upload that pic I took from the Autosalon thing.

Because how those tyres are called semi slicks is beyond me. They are slicks with 2 tiny grooves. lol

Yes I know pushing the boundaries but DOT and not as good in the wet that is for sure but may be better in the dry than fully treaded semi slicks but maybe not. Much cheaper than all the other semi slicks though. I guess I will have to go out and buy much more expensive RE55's or similar then and do it. What if faster though?? Maybe then it will be said it is our special car polish we use.

Grandad with the cardigan Here,

take it easy on JP you guys, do you know how much those tyres cost?

He's had to moonlight as a pizza delivery boy to be able to get those.

Hey Jp do you think if i take the baby seat out of the Zed it will go faster?

Speed boat Pizza delivery, ha ha got in first.

That's gold Wiz. :)

WTF, baby seat?

Hey some might think I am rallying zed owners onto the Skyline forum. At least I have GTR parts in my zed what are you guy's doing over here??

Hey by the way here is the times and notice an R32 GTS-T in the 51 bracket also very good. Faster than a few GTR's also, what's going on. Also Reddy good time in the 51's. Huge improvement from the last one.

GTR Jason popped in yesterday to the track but car not ready otherwise he would have been in there re the times too I suspect.

They are a dangerous tyre, its that simple.

In the wet they are 100% certain death trap and shouldnt be used.

I dunno who's cock was stroked to get them legal, but the amount of trouble you had keeping your car on the track is just evidence those tyres are un-safe.

I reckon you get out there on a set of RE55's like everyone else :(:) :) ;)

I mean, put it through the business as promitional or something.

Im sure you have a bean-counter who can work that out. I mean, it is promotional isnt it? :)

My wife is the bean couter and not fussed on cars or race cars much so a bit of smoke and mirrors. Yes claim it all on tax but funds are tight. The Hoosiers cost me almost half what Dunlops or Bridestone semi's cost me. They are radials and DOT approved.

i once saw a young zed owner leaving some special polish on your car john, not a pretty sight!

lol

:)

Was it the go fast stuff or fast go stuff Richard?

Now John, if you really want to improve your track times I will drive the wagon down and put the tow rope on. You pay for the fuel, Ill take care of the beer and pizza.

Best regards,

Ken from Darwin.

    • 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
