I’d like to announce an addition to the SAU-Vic Motorsport Championship.

Sunday 9th November – Phillip Island will be added to the championship as the eighth round. The motorsport committee has decided because of the loss of two rounds we would like to make this addition. The championship was originally comprised of seven rounds. But in actual fact, even with the edition of Phillip Island we ultimately will only be competing in six rounds.

Morewell – 10th May was cancelled due to the old hill climb track being decommissioned and relocated.

Calder – 5th July was cancelled due to becoming financial unviable for the WRX club to run. Calder Park have significantly increased their hire fee’s this year and it was going to end up costing around $350 per entrant to run this event. Which I’m sure we all agree is not worth it.

The event on Sunday 9th of November is run by the Phillip Island Auto Racing Club (PIARC) www.piarc.com.au and will be a timed sprint day. PIARC also run an untimed practice day on the Saturday (8th Nov)

Many club’s and days were considered, but the PIARC day was chosen as our best option from a club championship perspective because its everyone’s favourite track, everyone will get a spot that wants to come and the price

is good usually good at $140. We know the track gets busy at these events but given half the SAU crew are probably going to attend this event regardless it seems like the best option.

Hehe, it will be my one and only day this year :D I may get out there on 21/22 September but dont know. Jack, can you PM me your email address. The old girl needs a tow from workshop to workshop to workshop getting some work done, ready for a triumphant comeback, ready to ... crash again :)

can we just do the practice day or do you have to compete both days?

Of course you can just do the practise day. But as far as the SAU Club Championship goes only the Sunday counts obviously (since there is no timing on the Saturday).

cool. How does it work with $$ though? Does the $140 (or whatever it will be) cover the practice day and sunday timed day? Or is $140 each day?

Feck Troy, imagine we both got our cars ready for this day... I think the world would stop turning on it's axxis and we'd all vanish into a black hole... or some such nonsense :cool:

lol. Yep, but your car is cool and will be a weapon when it makes it title fight return to the ring. Mine is just getting some fresh bushes and wheels etc. So will still be pushing shit uphil with my index finger with regards to imroving times ;) LOL, i will die trying for my 1:21.4 with an RB20 at Sandown. Have to beat Scotsman's GTR times :O

My car should be quick in theory, if not for the schmuck behind the wheel! lol

I've got a long way to go to catch you mate... but chasing the GT-R's should keep the motivation going :D

Shane: It'll be good to get another S13 out there, should be some good battles

    • 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.
