Still good for one track day at least. Not rated in ks but laps if anything. Once warmed up slicks are nice and sticky and not as frustrating not being able to turn in or accelerate as much as you would like on corners.

By the way for those participating and having lunch we have a couple of cases of the mighty V as well as other drinks. Yes we know the Skyline guys live on the stuff. But lets not make it a V topic just letting you know DON'T pannick it will be there.

Maybe my zed might go faster if I threw some down my throat.

Slicks eh, interesting !

How cheap and how used ? (As in approx how many km or laps would I get at EC with no drifting doing 2:00 laptimes?).

To get RE540 Semi-slicks in 225/60/15 it was going to be like $290ea.

:bahaha: Benm gets the trackday bug and goes straight for cheater tyres!

See y'all there, cant wait to give the gibson car a good run around :P

I'll even go easy on your Z john, since you are the host :D

trackday bug yes, cheater no.

Once i have my brakes sorted out (got some proper fluid now and also need to learn how to use them better) im expecting about 3-4sec a lap quicker just from that. With a better set of tyres im hoping for another 5+ sec quicker.

Won't be long and i'll be under 2mins at EC, probably early next year.

John.... the last two UAS days have been a week after a Motoconcepts day and the old girl has not been able to back up after the day at Eastern.....blown this/hammered that:(

Oh well there is always next year at Wakefield! Ill still be along to spectate and enjoy the day.

Thanks for putting on these days , and supporting the scene.;)

I have a mate who wants to come have a look, he has two sons (5 & 10 YO or something like that). IS it OK to bring kids ? I'd imagine it would be OK behind the fence but not in the pits.. I haven't been to Oran for ages so I can't recall what it's like there.

Super keen to come but am a little uneducated on how to get to Oran Park!! Was wondering if anyone from around my area (Chatswood) was going....*cough* Brendan, Dino, Nick etc *cough* and if i could follow them out there!!

    • 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.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
