btw - i hit the drags tons.

You wont need any licenses etc.

Just make sure you have helmet and long sleeved clothes and long sleeved pants.

The $36 Entry fee or whatever includes 1 pit crew as well, so thats 1 spectator. So sort that out so someone is in with each person and it all gets cheap.

These days you can easily expect 10 runs if you want it....

You clutch won't be ready for pick up until tuesday arvo so I can get it done on Wednesday for you.

As long as you give it 50km or so of easy driving to bed it in...you won't have a drama. Like I said...it's like a super sports organic so you won't have any problems with it. If you drop it in first thing on Wednesday I should have it ready to go for you before 11.

I also need a helmet but seeing as though I have such a doofus head, I am going to borrow one of a mate.

Looks like next wednesday might be the go for everyone at this point so I guess we'll make it then. Tomorrow is probably too little notice for everyone and I don't wanna head out unless I have someone there I know that might be able to drive me home when the g/box explodes lol.

Was there the week before last. Entry fee for racers: $36 per car( driver+1 spectator), Driver must wear long sleeves and long pants, plus a helmet. Actually you can share 1 between 2 cars, I did that last time since I dont have one. Just tell the lady you will share the helmet with ur friend.

should be about the same price for 2 spectators.... So I reckon go there and race better than just watch. Wednesday would be a better choice, since Fri would be more cars there. Last time, I was able to get at least 8 runs, but gave up after the sixth, since my car's so slow........ Will talk to you soon, Dan.

I might be popping out there for this, give the sedan its first run down the strip. Most likely on the Friday, might be the end of the clutch though. . . . . oh well ;)

I will aim for a low 14, should be able to get the stocko down there somewhere.

Thought it might be Dave. When I got mine it had the same thing and apparantley its a common thing for RB25s. They run sooo much better when its all fixed up. . . . which is to be expected I suppose.

Mine, the crack went right around and when I tapped it on the ground it broke in half!

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
