Bring the Datto! I bet there has never been 2 1200's at an SAU deca before!

Good point, I chose the Datto, it will provide plenty of body roll and oversteer haha!

Entry form has been emailed to you Snowy.

Thanks

Malcolm and i may need to drop out, will confirm next week :dry:

Sump arrived and needs to be sent back; so another 1-2 weeks before engine is fully assembled, leaving only two weeks for installation, fabrication, light tune, bedding in, retune, suspension work/alignment, etc.

Very sorry (and upset) to say that Mal and i have to pull, as the car will not be ready; Thanks to a certain business in NSW that believes steel grinding filings, rust and paint in a sump should not be cleaned out thoroughly before assembly and delivery!!!!! :P

NOT FARKEN HAPPY! :teehee:

yep no worries. Just a quick question - are you sharing the same car or are they seperate 1600's? (I just need to know for running orders)

    • 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/
