lol its not that mate. which car is faster - a 100kw car driven 100% or a 200kw car driven at 50%.

hmmmm.....im certain your a solid driver turismo. I have no experience so not gonna BS and say id have any kinda chance against you. Just thinking out loud here, maybe you could consider giving the top 3 place getters or maybe the top from each car type (Gtr, gtst, etc) and let them all do a lap in the starlet and see who comes out on top.

That would be interesting!!! See if any of them come close to your time??

(and maybe put a wildcard spot in from last place so that i might get a burn in the "the little black starlet that could")

I like the idea, Sortof like single make car racing, except time trial. I'm pretty sure if my boss enters (Driver trainer at Fifth gear motorsport) will probably smash me, and Duncan "Mr Targa Tasmania" would give me a flogging

I will have to run it past the owner of the little Black Ninja and talk to Steve to let him do it at the end of the day, I could always give everyone a go on the streets, no silly buggers, just a bit of a squirt (all within the law)

What if I get fastest GTS-T????? Do I get another lap :P

Why the hell do i own a skyline if your bloody starlet is gonna dick us all on the track?????

I'm not a sore loser so i'll stick with 39th...even though its more likely to be where my (apparently unstarlet worthy) skyline will place.

I sense a slight level of hostility here... :D

Passenger seat driving. coul be fun :D

Hahaha. I've actually witnessed someone drive their car home from the passenger seat. It was an old RWD Mazda 323, so he still had to swing his leg(s?) over the transmission tunnel to operate the pedals. Lucky for him, he only had to drive around 100m, BUT he did have to turn left around a corner and go uphill, then into his driveway, so who knows how he managed that.

Actually - you would be in contention for fastest gtst as Im not bringing mine! :O

What about fastest 31...???

Why no 33??????????? I was looking forward to a bit of a battle :)

Just jokes

    • 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
