I'd love to try and soldier on, but I don't think I'll be in the right capacity at trying to handle a car at speed, considering I'm often feeling light headed.

I was looking forward to tomorrow too :banana:

that really sucks, of all the times for it to hapen, it hapens now. :banana:

just a quick question though, im just running my every day street tyres tomorrow, whats a good pressure to set them at for the day?

me the same also...

just about to check all my tyre presure's too

i was just gonna run what i do for every day use but maybe drop just a little ??

hey do you think it is better to use an octane booster in the fuel for track day's too??

that really sucks, of all the times for it to hapen, it hapens now. :thumbsup:

I run normal street tyres on mine (275/35r18) and I find that around the mid 30s cold I tend to get a lot of understeer. High 30s low 40s cold seems to be the best so far.

i might give that a shot, i spose its better to start with a higher pressure, then i can just let air out accordingly until it feels right. might be a bit different in the wet though... :thumbsup:

Nice drifting Ben, show them big bad r32gtr can drift :rolleyes:!

:D Thanks mate, had a bit of fun out there today, especially in the end when the track was wet again! Looking forward to seeing the video footage my mate was taking.

Lots of quick cars out there today. I did a 1.26.4 which was way better than I was expecting, first time I've been timed at Sandown. Really happy with how the car went, but still has a bit more to go to be competitive with the other GT-R guys.

We (group 1) were really lucky to get that dry session after lunch, managed to get a 1'27.1. Really happy with that for a first time being timed at Sandown, just a shame there weren't more dry sessions!

well i found out that having stock breaks and street tyres in the wet are terrible to race in...

lol i found it hard to even keep it straight while down gearing.

sorry if i held any of you guys up at all i tryed to stay out of the way as much as possible.

    • 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
