Well I'm glad that I got 1 chance at an almost completely dry track and managed to almost equal my best. Good to see a whole bunch of you guys again.

Tim. Bummer about the tailshaft. Hope you get it fixed soon and hope its fixed for free!

Congrats to all the SAU guys....some pretty impressive times considering the conditions :ninja:

As for me....well I found out just what Scotsman told me about well worn semis and standing water :laugh: Was impossible for me to put any power down or carry speed around a corner in all sessions except for the one just after lunch. The fact that I had an inexpensive lesson learnt in the first session didn't help my confidence either :P

Anyway time for newer semis and to look forward to the next one :)

Here's some footage of my fastest lap with my new GoPro camera. The Audio is better than I thought, although I needed to drill holes in the waterproof casing to let some noise in.

Good footage Andrew. Thanks for sharing. Audio is still ok considering.

Must have been a tad frustrating knowing that you couldn't push her any harder b/c of the conditions :P

Thanks Archie, did you pull the pin as I saw you on the entry list?

I managed to wipe 3 tenths off my PB, but I was slow through turn one and coming on to the front straight because of a lack of grip.

The 19 will come.........................eventually.

was a good fun day, got one dry run in but didnt beat the 1,26.6 i got last time :ninja:

cars having coil pack dramas, hmm, splitfires might be the go...

my last session was my worst by far! the car cut out all together while i was leaving the pits. i had to completely switch it off and then on again while it was still coasting. then of course i only had rear wheel drive... i was past by everyone! i was getting some pretty mad angles though... :P

Yep pulled the pin on Friday. Saw that it was going to rain and I know i would have been frustrated driving around there in the wet so I thought I'd leave it for another time.

3 tenths is pretty good considering the conditions of cold track temps etc

What time did u end up with?

I'm sure it will :P Then you can also say you've done a teen at Sandown :ninja:

Did you have the GT-R with the Sabbadin sticker on the rear window?

I think I was behind you in the last session when you were oversteering out of every corner, looked like fun :ninja:

Well done Andrew, great time considering the conditions.

Watching the vid shows heaps of time to behad at turn 1 and back kink, get a dry dayand teens are not far!!

Natsoft times don't show your fastest time, and apparently JFK went l:20 flat. How about Matt?? Hasn't registered a time at all?

Surely he's gone faster than Brisby by now!!

yeah, but you had a little bit more power up the straights matt, couldn't stay close enough! best part about that dry session yesterday is i'm learning to trust my brakes a bit more now, loving braking a bit later to find that bit more corner speed.

results have just gone up on the wrx site, link here http://www.natsoft.com.au/cgi-bin/results.cgi?31/08/2008.SAN

Ben, I was behind you for a couple of sessions.....might have caught some good flamage on my in car :D

From my car? I didn't know that mine did that lol

Did you hit the wall in one of those first sessions? I remember you started in front of me then when I got down to the back of the track and saw you facing me I thought "Please say it didn't hit the wall" :)

Shepo, Yep that was mine, thanks, lots of tough GT-Rs out there, was good to hear them fly down the straight.

The timing guys had the internet connection at Sandown drop out in the afternoon so they missed about three sessions, which included the one with my fastest time. They had the hard copies on the window of the timing tower though.

Yeah John was about a second in front of me, would have been alot more although he seemed to have big problems getting power to the road without big wheel spin. I guess 440+ KW will do that :)

There is definitely 2 seconds there, just need some commitment around turn 1 and the kink as you say.

Matt had a bit of an off and ended up driving home with a bit more toe out in the rear than he started with. Not much panel damage from what I was told as the rear suspension seemed to take the brunt of the hit.

I'm looking forward to PIARC on the 21st now, anyone else coming down?

      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?

      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/
