Just looking - that PIARC weekend in July also falls on the same weekend as the SAU (WRX) event at Winton. And that's the only visit to Winton we have for the year. So I'd suggest finding another date - even if it is early 08?

Bugger.

I am waiting for reply to my email sent to PI Sprint Sectretary yesterday to see if any other days or events or anything we may be able to work in with. What about L2S private practice days?

John,

PI is..... difficult to get. They have a lot of Bike ride days but other than the PIARC weekends (which usually is only 3-4 each year) there is no real track days at PI other than various club sprints. And even though everyone loves going to PI you will find most clubs will only go to PI once a year due to the costs involved. If you look at all the Vic club calanders there is hardly another track day down there for the whole year. But I also think the WRX Club who we run with were only granted one date this year even though they might have wanted to run a 2nd round.

Pretty much to hire out the track for a day will cost you around $20K for everything you need anyways. So then you need 100 people at $200 to break even. And THEN you will have the 75dB noise limit placed upon you as only the PIARC weekend have the 95dB limit granted to them.

As I said - PI is difficult.

Im told with the amount of bikes and testing that bikes and V8s do their...well club car days are not really on the radar like it is at other smaller curcuits. I have no wheard 3 people tell me that plans are a foot for F1 to be testing there...they just need ot modify their pits to accomodate. So im pretty sure McLaren will priority over us hacks.

Yep John - that is only the events held by PIARC the club.

If you want to know when other clubs are holding events there the only option is to go to each club individually and find out if and when they are holding an event at PI.

I know there is an MSCA event (which you don't want to go to) and the PIARC weekend in July. I don't know of any other club events this year.

The clubs I would recommend going to a day with (WRX, Maserati, AROC, HSV and FPV) have all had their event at the Island for the year already.

OK and thought so and do you happen to know websites or I just search and find. Email me maybe Andrew if have any info. I am keen and lot of others to get to this track again later in the year for a big track day. You guys are so lucky to have this awesome track.

      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

      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/
