Entry Form

Supp Regs

Talk it up.......

Is this the new track that was supposed to be built or the old hill climb track?

Anyone got a plan of the layout if it is the new track?

I actually might have ny gearbox done by then...FINALLY...then I can hack around behind all the ultra quick GTR's.

LOL - thanks West - fixed.

Its Friday and all I can think about is leaving work and finding a nice cold beer.

And Nick - its being held at the old Morwell Hill Climb Circuit - the new track has not been finished yet.

so is it hill climb or a sprint? as the sup regs say its a hill climb. seeing its not on their forums yet, does anyone know approx how many runs will each person get.

will there be any driver training or actually is there any point of driver training?

Unless you have read something i havnt seen, you dont need special tow hooks, the ones on your car are fine.

Last point after Vehicle equipmen and safety. page 3.

and point e)? What sort of clear adhesive do you guys use on the headlights.

I'm thining of entering the Gemini, since the GTR is going to be off the road for a bit.

My advice is do not do this day unless you are completly comfortable in your car. Don't do this event if you havn't done a few track days before.

There is not much room for error.

FYI, we'll be running a new course on the old track.

Starting on the National Circuit heading up hill towards the bridge, you'll turn right and go anticlockwise around the keyhole before heading up the straight around the bend and down the 'S' to the finish.

8 people so far! LOL

I'm out. I really wanted to do Morwell before if shut down but I've still got this pesky ear infection and I'm not about to try and drive fast anywhere whilst my balance is all out of whack.

Jeez, not very popular this year! I liked Morwell, though it did cost me a clutch, a gearbox and a hell of a drive back to the workshop! :P

I liked it too except I wasn't driving and we had to get up at 5am and It was a HELL of a drive back to the workshop, I think you banned me from speaking for most of the trip back!! And we saw that yellow TMU car which was scary And we had no ciggarettes and couldn't stop because the car wouldn't make it back if we did!

Fun drive.... hehe :)

    • 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.
