Good work Paul, what class are you running in over there? seems odd to run 9 second cars against the big drag cars, they definately dont do that here, theres a class here for all the injected drag cars and they are running around the 7 second region and compete with altered's and small rails with small blocks. The handicap would of been huge, you would of been at 3/4 track before she even left the line lol :D

so does this mean the ppg "should" be pretty bulletproof now, or still possible issues with it? Are these shifters available for anyone or whats the go in getting one? I assume it can also be used on a circuit as well or only for drags?

Send me a PM regarding info if you can mate.

thanks

The first shifter was a custom job made from 4340 billet...we will be producing them as a self fitting upgrade.

you have pm

I want to see pictures of this new sexy shifter!!

here ya go...not much to see though. The white cable is the signal feed from the load sensors to the interface box (silver box with led's on side of console) the red button and black cable is to activate the anti-lag prior to launch. The shifter itself is custom made from 4340 billett and has 4 load sensors bonded to read in 4 different directions of movement. The sensors are then covered in epoxy and heat shink sleeve applied (black area under the gearknob) for durability.

Scared? The Dirtman ? lol!!

He will hit it when he is ready

ill not ever be running NOS in this car...as the Ignition DVD states "there's no need"

our goal is well within reach without it.

the cylinder pressures when running NOS on a high boost high rpm set-up hurt parts very easily.

it was installed a few years ago when i believed it was a necessity...nearly all the big drag GTR's don't use it and the power delivery is a bit too hit and miss for bracket racing unless its properly set-up.

Delay boxes arnt used on manual trans, had a few Jacks by that stage last night and forgot Pauls car wasnt converted to auto lol, but have a read of this anyhow

    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • 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.
