attached a very dark picture of M5 engine bay for whoever is interested to look at. The car is almost affordable at $200,000AUD+onroad+insurance etc ... Now just let me break my piggie bank :) :bahaha:

Got some footage of Jay racing Mick at Willowbank Sat (9/8/03)...but don't have webspace to load it, will get it up soon though...what did you get last run Mick when you ran against Jay??

I was aiming for a flat 13.1.

60ft - 1.988 ET - [email protected] mph

then after a bit more tuning (or fiddling, whichever you want to call it), realed off a

60ft - 2.045 ET - [email protected]

MODS:

Pod and exhaust

FMIC

Apexi PFC, base tune by Gavin Woods then I fiddled with final tune

ooh, and homemade boost controller

Maybe a little more time to be had still - wouldn't mind a 12.8...actually wouldn't mind an 11 second run.

Yeah, like the sound of the 11 better, stuff the 12.8

4 doorz: i ran a 13.764 @ 108.46MPH, was pretty funny... i cut a huge 2nd gear burnout and had to get on the brakes pretty hard to pull up before the line. When i went to move it into stage it just stalled straight away, it was then i noticed that i had managed to stall perfectly into stage!!!

i started it back up and looked up just in time to see the 2nd orange light so i dumped it hard and bogged down, the result was a 2.5 60' time which was disapointing. I pulled a 2.2 the run before finishing with a 13.2 so i was hopeing to crack a 12.

The twin plate is very difficult to launch, it really needs a set of slicks as street tyres just spin.

did u notice that the street machines skyline was running federals as well 4 Doorz.

My mate has them on his GSR too, cheap tyres but very soft compound so they work well for 1/4 mile raceing.

    • 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.
