Yeah it was a great day. Sorry for the people I didn't introduce myself too. I missed you fatz. Unfortunately early in the afternoon my oil feed to my turbo cracked :) So I had to hire a trailer, and a ute to tow it, plus I then had to go back to Goulburn to return them - total cost $400!!! bastards.

Anyway, I'll be back.

Speaking of pics. Does anyone have any pics of me? I know that I saw a couple of people taking shots when I was coming down the straight. Anyone? My friend Justin was taking some, but half the time he got the wrong GTI-R, and he only had a 1 megapixel camera :) BTW, mine was the black GTI-R with no plates front or back, driver with a blue helmet.

And yeah, it could have been worse but it sucks not being able to drive your car home, and until I fix it I have no way to get around. doh!

hey boys, awesome day out!!

the damage isnt too bad, plus its a good excuse to get my vertex front bar that ive wanted for a while... its just the bumper and the front drivers guard thats damaged, no structual or mechanical damage....

the TVR is fine.. it was overheating, so after it visited the middle of the gravel trap, we threw it back on the trailer...

fatz, i didnt come off the throttle caus i thought i could hold the drift (that was before it snapped back on me that hard)... get any pics of it???

lol, "hold the drift", that's what i figured, you've really got to be keeping it going to get all the way down to the pit wall !

Good to hear it won't be too expensive:)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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/

      eBay "Hella" oil level sensor

      By PranK · Posted

      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.
