Edit: Handbags is back in for Deca, exams are a week later, Yippeee!! Big Red will hopefully make an appearance.

yes it would be good to see this car..if it actually exists :blink:

sorry for the noobness again but is DECA where you pretty much drive round a skid pan or sumting following the cones and time yourself???

sumting wong

The Saturday spent at the DECA centre comprises of the skidpan in the morning with cone marked courses with one car at a time, then in the afternoon two cars run at a time on it (courses are narrower than the morning so each driver only uses his/her half of the skidpan). This is a good one to go up against mates although beating them is just for pride, the time is what counts. The Long and Short Wang are bitumen type tracks at the back that require a helmet and are one car at a time courses.

Maps of the courses are provided on the day and available a few days before for download from here.

Every event is timed by marshalls who are volunteers from SAU for the day and make the day what it is.

Saturday night involves dinner and drinks at Taco Bills in Shep then onto a bar/strippers/KFC/Maccas/Riding coloured cows/whoring rides in local skylines/pushed home in a wheelie bin etc.

Hope this answers it :)

    • 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/
