Recommended Posts

Just thought i'd post up some piccies from todays little festival out at Fuji Speedway.. Was quite a fun day, though there was intermittent rain, but it seemed to make the driving action more fun.. Lots of kool things to see and do, though im definitely looking forward to the Nismo festival next Sunday!

Who knew the luxobarge Soarer could be made into a JGTC car.

I guess they didn't have much of a choice since that's Toyota's closest thing to a sports coupe nowadays.

Toyota maybe the most profitable auto manufacturer in the world but they have lost their soul when it comes to performance cars. Even with their foray into F1, there has been little to show for it when it comes to their road cars.

At least Nissan have the new GTR and 350Z, Subaru and Mitsubishi have their Evo/STi, Mazda have their RX8 and even Honda have the HSC/Dualnote prototypes.

On the other hand, Toyota has nothing.

Maybe that might be why...

    • 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
