Hi Guys,

First of all want to thank everyone that helped in any way to set up the show this weekend. (Doof / Paul especially)

Had a great weekend and I enjoyed the first event with some SAU guys that I've been involved in since joining the forum. Great bunch of guys that I met this weekend. I hope to catch up with you guys on events in time to come as I appreciated all your company at all points of the weekend!

Hugely looking forward to seeing your photos Ian :laugh: Judging just on the one you've put up so far, the rest I'm sure are going to be top notch!

Don't want to blabber on too much but just to finish off, to the people who didn't like Fox Studios, Final Battle will be at Homebush so hopefully you will enjoy it a bit more. I think the quality of cars was quite good, eating facilities were quite good, as was the bar :laugh: Made life a lot easier for me being at that location as opposed to Homebush!! Number's of cars may have been down slighty (?) but wouldn't be too much.

Anyway... bring on the pics! :laugh:

well done guys. I'm sorry I couldn't spend more time at the show, but I had a packed weekend. still I hope the little 32 helped keep the standard up. :laugh: bummer it was running on the low boost setting. I tested on the way home and low was only .9bar, high was 1.25 bar and miles different. probably 40kw + difference.

any pics of the 32 I would love to see some. :laugh:

Was one awesome car mate. Severely envied that interior! Was something I don't think I'll ever see anything like again for a 32! :)

Nice power figure on "low boost" as well :)

thanks mate. :)

yeah, it would have rocked on high boost. but, it will be tuned later this week and have some 'real' boost (21psi) wound into it and then we can really see some of it's potential realised. :)

      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?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      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/
