Mr R32 M-Spec, pheasant's nest Mobil is the first servo on the motorway after campbelltown, can't miss it.

Looks like I'll catch you guys down there b4 9.

Can't wait to give all those pesky gti-rs a beating :wave:

oopss sorry Mark.

didnt read your post properly!

Yeah, get on the m5 and its teh first servo on the HIghway after cambletown.

Just ring me if you need.

Oh - I just remembered - BigBoganDave will know where it is!!!

ok guys, I'll be leaving in a couple of hours (going to stay overnight so I don't have to get up at 5 AM like you fools :wave: )

If anyone needs to contact me for whatever reason, I can be reached on my mobile: 0405 186 433

I'm looking forward to giving all those pesky skylines a beating :)

Anyway, it's going to be a great day. See you at the track.

Richard

hey GSR 13s, top time!

Once I got rid of my ballast I got down to 1.11.5s, at least I got to zoom all those pesky GTiRs :)

Thanks Richard & Sam for organising everything (except for that bloody wind....) top day out!

I was very happy with the time actually, first track day with the 'R'..

can't wait to go again :)

I only put the Coil overs in on saturday, so they need a bit of tuning to get right. The rear was pretty 'floaty'. Might have to grab some cheater tyres for next day out....

Once I got rid of my ballast

...pretty talkative ballast, probably hurts concentration having a pigeon holding a camera in the car as well:rolleyes:

GSR13S, was scoping out your car, very nice. Imagine how much quicker you can go once you get that high drag rear bumper fixed! :)

Can i ask how you were you timing your laps?

heh, it may be too early to say this, but despite a fair few laps more than normal, this may be the first track day I've ever returned from not needing new tyres or brakes!

And good to meet you there too, Mark, we need to get you over to Eastern Creek as well!

hehe Thanks, yeh well the damage was caused by a 4WD using my car as a brake at a set of traffic lights :D

Times was obtained with a mate using a stop watch, not precisely accurate but pretty close.

    • 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
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
