Went to see these badboys over the weekend just gone and it was well worth the money!

The cars in the flesh are nuts and the sound of the R35 GT cars at full throttle is soooo sex! even tho they use the V8.

The NSX's are another thing all together.....the 3.2L V6 screams like a banshee!!

Cusco WRX and the RE-Amemiya FD also gave the eardrums a good old thrashing.

For those of you use to the V8 supercars here, the GT cars just blew me away!!

As for the circuit, we dont have anything in aus that comes close!

If anyone gets the chance to go to sepang i thoroughly endorse it, the track and facilities are amazing....

anyways heres a few happy snaps to share with you lot......

farkk...those cars a bombed..

how was malaysia?..any good car performance shops or alot jap cars on the streets?

I didnt see many around KL but there were heaps in the carpark at sepang, even a handful of farrari's (custom paint and bling)

they have their own local D1 comp which i didnt know, had full dori spec S15 and hatchi on display (got a few pics)

also had 3 hard tuned R34's on display (one with GT bodykit and full matte black paint) and a couple of R33's...........all GTR's mind you

and a few EVO's, supra's, R32 Golfs and Lotus's all road going but pretty heavily modded, few caged, semi slicks etc.....

could find any tuning shops, but i was mostly in the central KL area..... most car/bike shops are located on the fringes.

with KL, like japan, you gotta go into the county side to find all the tuning shops. Sepang's nuts, and the GT brings out all the Waja warriors on the roads. Mind you there's a healthy sprinkling of ceffies, s13's and toyotas in the mix, not to mention the guys who make the yearly pilgrimage from Singapore (these guys usually bring the expensive cars) and Thailand (the 1JZ crazy country).

haha yer a whole lota waja/wira "evo" lookalikes!

and the hwy's there are also killa...... oh to have had my 32 with me!

will def do it again next year.

well proton was mitsubishi once so they all run mitsubishi gear. Some even have evo transplants in them, so dont be surprised when the take off.....but majority are still shitters!

    • 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
