Hi Everyone

Just thought I'd let you know that we'll be running a skidpan day at Oran Park on Sunday 15th March 2009.

We'll be running a morning session from 9.00 am until 12.00pm and an afternoon session from 12.30pm until 4.30pm.

The morning session will be limited to 6 drivers, and the afternoon session will be limited to 8 drivers, so you'll get plenty of driving time.

Cost per driver is $150

This course will be conducted by well known Sydney Advanced Driving Instructor, John Boston

The format we run to is pretty simple...

Brief classroom session

The rest of the time is spent driving practising skid control skills on the skidpan, we will also be running 'motorkhana' type exercises, most of you will be familiar with John, he runs a great program for us in Sydney.

One car on the skidpan at a time.

Note that we will be using water on the skidpan to minimise tyre wear.

If you'd like to come along please shoot us an email [email protected]

or give Tessa a call during office hours on 1300 652 693

Kind regards

Kev

No one is making you go.

If you think its too much dont come, pretty simple.

$150 for a whole day with how many drivers 30 ? 40?, we have 6 drivers in one session and 8 in the other.

YOU COULDN'T EVEN PAY THE FOR VENUE HIRE WITH THESE NUMBERS !!

When it comes to value for money,no one can compete with us.

The thousands of drivers who have done days with us in the past in Melbourne and Sydney will tell you that we offer pretty good value for money.

First in best dressed ;)

This day has training guys. You would not get a full day for the same amount with this level of tuition. And the drift day would not come with tuition.

$150 bucks is dirt cheap and obviously the people that have booked thought so as well :action-smiley-069:

    • 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.
