For all those who have been blind for the past 6 weeks or so. A groups of us are heading to the drags tonight at Willowbank near Ipswich. Generally we will be meeting at 6:30-6:45 and race till 9pm. Should get a good number of runs in so come along.

$28 gets you in to race and a passenger as well.

Not a bad turn up, Me, Mick,Slip, MRE, BOOSTMEISTER, Birty, Nismogirl and her quiet partner and a couple of others that I didn't see. Also a guy called Ken in an R34. I ran against him on my last run, I had him all the way then he blew past me about 40 meters from the line and did me by about 0.026. me 14.813 him 14.787. Mick's best was 14.167 so we are continuing our trend of a new personal best each new meet.

Anybody want some TEIN suspension ???? "NOT SUITABLE FOR DRAG"......13.8 Last night but 13.7 is my best so far. My mate in his 180 ran a 13.2 with much less power than me but he has excellant suspension for drag.

I am aiming for a 12 for Jamboree....

Thanks for everyone for turning up, sorry I was late and couldn't spend much time meeting you guys. Next time

Yeah I feel the same cam, but oh well, i love putting her through corners, it's the price we pay I guess.

Oh well, i'll be there next time though. I think I can at least get into the 14's even with the suspension though, just need a good launch. Although....a VG30 Turbo wouldn't hurt :uh-huh:

Cam just put the stockers on with a high profile tire with lower pressure :( that way its still street trim :)

I have Tein springs in my car its very stiff and i got 2.1 60ft's which i could easily better with a new clutch.

All thoes jap cars you seen run street legal slicks.

Thanks man, thats basically what I am going to do....

Stock springs and shocks

17" rims with either, NITTO 555R, Yokohama AVS Sport or AZENIS.

New single plate brass button clutch.

That should be good enough to get me into the 12's with pump fuel.

      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/
