lol I think my whole "off to NS" remark for newbies that jump on this forum with no clue or blatantly stupid ideas might be at the root of this issue (based on the fact that NS seems to have a lot more tolerance for em than we do).

not strocking my own cock, but I think once I said it a couple of times some of the postwhores sorta thought it was cool to do so as well.

Meh, I'm active on NS and I go to the meets and know most of the melb regs.... they're quite nice people once you get to know em :)

Heres how I look at it i have been to 1 sau skid pan day (enjoyed it although I had no idea what I was doing) & i have been running vicdrift for a year & been on NS for ages.

SAU - more professional outlook when it comes to cars and events but in my opinion takes a little bit of the fun away ie on the first day I didnt know many people and a few people just seemed to have a problem with the whole drift thing.

NS - every dedicated people behind the curtains but the people that draw the attention to NS are the wankers. Street drifting is BS. but hey it doesnt matter if people are driving imports or commonwhores. they are still going to do stupid shit.

thats the main difference as i see it. SAU really has the outlook of a professional motorsport club & thats what makes it good NS is for the younger age group that are more interested in giving it the boot and getting pulled over. This doesnt mean that anyone is better than the other.

finally on another note.

If you are interested in drifting go to www.vicdrift.com we are running heaps of events next year at winton & hopefully some basic days ( ;-) )

we also have an event on this weekend sat is vdc prac & then a private drift day on monday

    • 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
