LoL meh wasnt that good!

Congratz to Tai (candy33) for winning 1st prize and $500 in the show and shine!! well deserved Tai!!

I thought the day was OK, but i only stayed for a few hours :P.

Congrates Tai!!! Great talking to you buddy, car looked even better outside, than it did at the AutoSalon. The amount of work done to that car is mind blowing, good to hear that you are being awarded for your hard work and efforts.

Well keep the F1 AutoSalon in mind for 2008, i hope to see you there, and with any luck i'll be there with my car >_<

Thanx guys!!

Yeah i won best overall car in the Pioneer show and shine and receive $500 and even got approached for sponsership :O .

Overall was a good day till about 5pm when it started to get boring and cold.

And AL i'm 100% in for F1 Autosalon.. as you may already know i show my face up to everything. :P

Heres a pic.

that pink r33 i meant is too auto salonish

:blink: Meaning what?

It's a show car and one that has been done properly. Not like most these try hards that pay the $120 entry fee to Autosalon, to enter a "standard" car, or a hack job, then brag to their mates that they have a "show car".................pffft.

Tai is obviously into the show scene, and he has presented a car that is worthy of winning awards. Not everyone wants to be a "boyracer". The amount of time, money, effort and stress Tai has put into his car is commendable.

Look at my car, i probably have spent as much money as Tai, but it still looks stockish; apart from the body colour. That's because i am more interested in motorsport, performance, handling, etc. The driveline and suspension is were most my money has been pumped into. But i still like to have a neatly presented car, so i have added some "show style" aspects that interest me; pearl red paint job, 19" rims, detailed engine bay, etc. At a show, Tai would kick my ass :), as that's what his car has been designed/built for, it is fully customized to attract attention. On the track/motorkahna/twisties though, i'll have the upper hand :P.

Exactly right Al.. thanks and well said.. and for all the people that think its all show and no go, i'm currently building up a hybrid rb30 engine to go in..and don't forget i also have a 'sleeper' r32 gtr to keep the racer boys happy. :)

      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

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/
