Yes?

You wouldn't be whoring posts to artificialy raise your post count? :uh-huh: would you? :uh-huh: and on my thread too! :D

Maybe you fell asleep on the key board :P

Anyway, my main reason to post is to let all you guys know that there is ONE PLACE LEFT:jump:

So if you want it post up...

Richard

Just a note to say, I have posted a list of people who have let me know they want a spot (including whether or not I have the $ from you).

Let me know of any errors.

is place still vacant?

daz

Sort of ;)

MRR32's friend (sorry forgot name) has expressed some interest (at the meet on Sunday). I'll keep the place for him 'till tomorrow, arvo - after that, you get first dibs.

BTW Slo: Your place is secure so I assume you're asking for someone else?

Richard

its alright richard. spoke to him last night (andy) and he is coming down in his white 180 beast. not actually driving on the track though, doesn't have the money to replace anything that breaks at the moment. he is gonna do my camera work for me.

so meeting time on the tuesday morning?

where?

Time? and leaving time from meeting point.

also I find on a long cruise CB's make it interesting so if you got them please feel free to bring them

Ok,

That's cool. Always nice to have some spectators.

As for going down there. When the GTI-R guys decide how they are going down, I'll post up here about meeting places and so on.

Personally, I will be going down on the Monday night. I'll leave work a little early, say 3:00, hope to get down there, sort of 6ish, check in (Probably at "The loaded dog"), watch the simpsons, have a few beverages, then wake up nice and early, and get to the track:burnout:

If anyone else likes doing things easy, and don't wanna drive for a couple of hours in the morning, only to get to the track sick of driving, let me know and some of us can go down together on the Monday.

Hey guys, the event is coming up in 1 week. can we get some organising happening for a meeting place and time

Good call. I'm happy to help facilitate a meet on the Tuesday morning but I won't be there. I'm going down early monday night so I can arrive at the track nice and fresh :D .

If anyone wants to come down with me, and stay at the same hotel post up and we'll organise something.

For the guys going down on the Tuesday, where do the bulk of you live?

Also, unfortunately one of the SAU guys has had to pull out. If someone can take his place he can then get his deposit back. How about you Duncan? I seem to remember you had some enthusiasm for the idea. C'mon take a sickie and help one of your SAU brethren out.

Also, on top of that place there is still one more left, so anyone of you who has friends ask them to come. PM me if you're keen.

Richard

well, I'm almost certainly able to come along, but cant 100% confirm yet and dont want to hold a spot for someone who can 100% make it.

That's ok. If you can let me know before the weekend that would be great :(

Richard

I think I might have to come all the way out to Pentrith Anyway.

For the Sydney People going to Wakefield on Tuesday Morning

We will be leaving 6:10 am SHARP, to ensure we get to wakefield nice and early.

So Just go straight there and dont bother meeting at the Shell...

    • 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
